Abstract :
This paper describes the desktop modelling of a novel automation concept to traditional LV distribution networks based on theEA Technology "SignalSure" system, which is currently in operation on rail signalling circuits in the UK. EA Technology has carried out projects on behalf of a number of UK Distribution Network Operators through the Innovation Funding Initiative (IFI) to assess deployment options, technical constraints, benefits and safety implications. The findings from the project carried out for ScottishPower are presented in this paper.
