Independent research carried out by Pöyry has shown that innovation projects by local electricity distribution network operators (DNOs) could deliver up to £1.7bn of benefits by 2031. These projects and services could deliver major savings to bill payers in the years ahead by ensuring that networks evolve to new demands in the most cost-efficient way possible.

Evolving substation architectures to become more digital unlocks engineering efficiencies by standardising substation designs, adopting more coherent data sets, and minimising the need for bespoke implementations as well as enabling enhanced resilience through distributed automation. However, updating new functional requirements in an active substation can be both costly and difficult for the industry.

The analysis demonstrates the potential EVs could have as a significant grid resource able to provide rapid flexibility to support renewable generation, balance electricity supply and demand and alleviate strain on the network at a local and national level, without impacting drivers.
EVs could provide 11GW of flexibility by 2030 Read More »
For electric vehicles (EVs) to achieve their maximum potential benefit for both the transport sector and the energy sector, closer collaboration between the two sectors is essential. So far, most of the learning around how EVs will affect DNOs has come from projects undertaken by DNOs themselves, but earlier this year automotive manufacturer Nissan launched a trial in the UK that could be of great benefit to DNOs.
