The document outlines the integration and management of distributed energy resources (DER) focusing on active network management (ANM) solutions in the UK, especially highlighting the Orkney smart grid project. It describes the challenges of integrating DER into existing networks, the need for innovative control technologies, and details the operational success of connecting renewable capacity to previously full grids. Established in 2008, the organization offers a variety of services and tools to support the deployment and maintenance of ANM systems, resulting in significant operational benefits.

- 8. Smarter Grid Solutions ♦ Successful smart grids manage large numbers of distributed energy resources. The traditional operator-in-the-loop approach won’t cut it anymore. To resolve the grid challenges of a low carbon world, we need real-time, autonomous, deterministic control technology. That’s why we exist. ♦ Founded in 2008 ♦ 7,000 sqft HQ in Glasgow with development and test infrastructure ♦ Offices in New York and London ♦ Over 50 engineers dedicated to the development and deployment of Active Network Management ♦ Over 10 years in development in collaboration with utility customers and one of Europe’s leading power systems universities (University of Strathclyde) 9
