Utilising demand flexibility in electricity distribution networks

The transition to sustainable energy sources like wind and solar and the introduction of electric vehicles and heat pumps are putting a growing strain on our electricity distribution networks. To prevent overloading and reinforcing the network, which is costly and time-consuming, regulators are increasingly looking to new and flexible ways of controlling demand. Ph.D. researcher Rik Fonteijn of the department of Electrical Engineering has developed practical tools that can help distribution system operators utilize demand flexibility in their daily operations. Fonteijn will defend his thesis on Friday 29 October.
