Development of NIE networks' nodal controller project to deliver reactive power support to the wider electricity system

In 2017, 34.8% of total electricity consumption in Northern Ireland was generated from renewable sources located in Northern Ireland. Alongside other significant changes to the electricity sector this leads to an increasing need for reactive power. This paper provides an overview of NIE Networks...
