Transmission and distribution
Future transmission and distribution networks not only connect end-users with power sources, but more importantly they have intelligent functions that facilitate integration of large amounts of renewable energy sources into the energy system.
Vision
Future transmission and distribution networks not only connect end-users with power sources, but more importantly they have intelligent functions that facilitate integration of large amounts of renewable energy sources into the energy system.
Challenges
Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, wave and tide are by nature variable and not controllable. Interconnection of the renewable sources with large transmission and distribution networks, coupled with efficient power markets, can reduce the impact of these fluctuations. To fully utilize this potential, the future transmission and distribution networks need to implement advanced control and automation functions supported by reliable information and communication technologies.
