Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges faced by network operators in connecting wind farms to local distribution networks and ultimately transporting the power into people´s homes. The paper also describes Ofgem´s Registered Power Zone (RPZ) incentive which provides financial aid to distributors who would develop and implement innovative projects connecting distributed generation to networks where this may not otherwise have been economically feasible.
