Building the intelligent electricity network

摘要

As increasing demand pushes ageing grids to the breaking point, new technology capabilities are making it possible for electricity distribution companies to make informed decisions about asset replacement, upgrades, network security and regulatory approvals for investment, Building the intelligent. Today many distribution network operators (DNOs) find themselves struggling to power a 21st century world using the technologies and management concepts of the 20th century. Under pressure from ageing assets, growing peak demand, the emergence of new power generation technologies and revenue constraints from regulation and theft, DNOs are seeking a new, smarter approach to operating their networks.
