Problem
Avangrid was receiving customer feedback related to the high cost and timescale of DER interconnection being driven by the need for grid upgrades.
Solution
Using Strata Grid, Avangrid introduced flexible interconnection methods demonstrated and proven in the UK. Customer interconnection agreements were amended to incorporate the fast-acting, autonomous control methods used by Strata Grid to minimise curtailment actions.
Result
The project demonstrated the capability of Strata Grid to double grid hosting capacity and reduce customer need for capital expenditure.
