What is the feasibility of using data from existing monitoring assets (i.e. network sensors, smart meters) and advanced data analytics to better understand network condition and optimise operational efficiency (as opposed to installing expensive sensor equipment all over the low-voltage network).

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
