Orkney smart grid

• Active Network

Management (ANM)

switched on in 2009.

• Power flows are

monitored, and input from

renewable generators

controlled.

• This has allowed more

than than 20MW of new

renewable to connect to

the Orkney system.

• 107% of power demand

Based on local success, Aquatera has expanded a range of environmental services to more than 20 different countries worldwide.
