Abstract
UK Electricity Networks
The nature of UK electricity transmission and distribution networks in an
intermittent renewable and embedded electricity generation future
Electricity systems have developed during the last century on the basis of large central
generating units. These feed into an interconnected high voltage transmission and lower
voltage distribution network. Recent developments challenge this structure.
Electricity market liberalisation introduced in 1989 has had a profound impact on the
nature of the UK Electricity Supply Industry (ESI). This, along with technological advances
and increased environmental concerns, have fuelled interest in low-capital, small scale,
low pollution technologies. The UK Government has also set a range of energy related
targets that reflect environmental concerns – to increase the contribution of renewable
electricity technologies and Combined Heat and Power (CHP), and reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions (to which the electricity industry is a major contributor). This(责任编辑：BUG)
