About the session

A related challenge is that renewable generation can often be connected to remote or weaker parts of the network, distant from major load centres. Environmental, social, and other factors, however, are impacting on the buildout of the electrical network, leading to curtailment of renewables at certain times. Marie Hayden, Vice President for Business Development, Smartwires, will highlight some of the operational strategies and new technologies that can be applied to reduce network congestion, offering experience of how they are being successfully applied in practice.
