Constellation

Constellation is a world-first innovation project that will see powerful computers installed in a series of substations, turning them into smart substations. This will enable each local substation to analyse millions of data points on how the network is running and reconfigure the network based on specific conditions. Optimising our substations in this way will free up capacity and help facilitate the rise in renewable energy generation.
