Argand Solutions

We’ve just completed an exciting project at Bluestone Resort in Wales, in collaboration with our client, JJP Services, resulting in the network compliant installation of just under 3 MW of solar PV, with a high-voltage connection. This installation also required an active network management (ANM) interface for Stage 1 (stop stop) & Stage 2 (hard trip) with the ability to implement the dynamic management of their export limit in the future. This is an interesting development within network management as traditionally export limits have been static, but as energy networks evolve, there’s a growing trend towards dynamic constraint management as this approach offers more flexibility; helping to optimise the integration of renewable energy. We're really proud for Argand Solutions to be at the heart of the provision of the solutions to help meet this growing complexity.

Active Network Management limits: Are you compliant?

Active Newtork Mangement (ANM) is a requirement from both the Distribution and Transmission Network Operators to ensure that the physical and safe limits of the network are maintained, but awareness of the rules around power flow management are often not fully understood. At Argand Solutions we know that many Project Mangers may only fully grasp the implications of complying with ANM during the later stages of project roll-out, so for this reason we are embedding Stage 1 and Stage 2 ANM into our panels as a minimum, before going on to assess the benefits of Stage 0. It's all as part of our GridGEM Solution.
