The SPRINT Project aims to enhance the protection and efficiency of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) networks by integrating Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCLs). This innovative approach seeks to address the limitations of existing fault current management techniques, which rely on costly and space-consuming DC reactors. By leveraging SFCL te...

The ODIN Project aims to develop automated methods for interpreting and diagnosing data collected from continuous monitoring of robots operating in high-voltage direct current halls. By leveraging modern advanced analytics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, the Project will transition from the current labour-intensive process of manu...

The Winser report makes recommendations concerning faster delivery of new transmission infrastructure including standardisation and automation of route design for new transmission lines. This Project, in direct alignment with the Winser report, will examine the problems that need to be solved to address the recommendations concerning the process of route ...

The primary focus of REVISE is revisiting the current methodology for assigning overhead line ratings. The calculation process uses historical environmental data captured in the 1980s that is applied uniformly across the UK disregarding local/regional climate variations. The existing transmission network is increasingly constrained by system capacity limi...

As the share of inverter-based resources, including renewable generation, increases, lower system strength can lead to uncontrolled voltage changes which can escalate to instability and risk widescale customer disconnections. To secure the Net Zero grid, Network Owners urgently need to monitor system strength conditions to implement the most effective and...
