Smart grid & Dynamic Demand
The Centre for Carbon Measurement reduces uncertainties in climate data, provides the robust measurement that is required to account for, price and trade carbon emissions and helps develop and accelerate the take up of low carbon technologies.

Going smart…
Smart grid measurement tools
Better PQ
Diagnostics
Reduced Faults
Grid Planning
Grid stability: Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)
• “Life support monitors” of Smart Grids• Synchronized by GPS used to monitor grid stability
Fewer Blackouts
Stability Control
Power quality:
• How do PQ disturbances propagate through networks ? • Develop a PQ disturbance location method
Active network management: Sensor Networks
• Sensors everywhere? – cost, maintenance and “drown” in data
• Optimised sensor placement
Dynamic Demand Challenge Prize
Create a new product, technology or service that utilises data to significantly improve the ability of households or small businesses to demonstrate measurable reduction in carbon emissions by shifting energy demand to off peak times or towards excess renewable generation.
Expected outcomes: • Demonstrable shift in peak usage to off peak times • Measureable reduction in CO2 emissions • Responsiveness to dynamics of supply of renewable energy
