The Impact of Sustainable Communities on the Low Voltage Distribution Network

Aims & Objectives

 

 

The aim of this project was to assess the impact of future sustainable communities on the low voltage (LV) distribution network using the industry standard index called After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD).  Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a substation and LV cables. 

 

This project was a scenario-based project that evaluated the impact of progressive levels of energy usage on the current capacity of the low voltage distribution cables and was based on the following objectives:
