Description

Robust Renewables Hosting Capacity Enhancement for Distribution Networks. This project aims to quantify technical margins and devise novel robust renewables hosting capacity enhancement methods for active distribution networks. High renewables penetration has impaired power quality and network operational reliability, thus reducing renewables utilisation rate and impeding further installation. The intended outcomes are innovative data-driven robustness design methods against complex and uncertain operating conditions, which are able to secure increasing renewables penetration and installation. With emerging community battery and hydrogen electrolyser, a suite of operation and planning methods will be developed, allowing utility operators and government agencies to expedite zero-emission energy transition.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4008 - Electrical Engineering. Lead: Dr Cuo Zhang
