Active distribution networks aim to optimize the distribution of electricity by allowing two-way power flows and incorporating distributed energy resources and smart grid technologies. This contrasts with passive distribution networks which only allow one-way power flows from centralized generation to consumers. Managing active distribution networks presents challenges around operations, coordination, and information exchange to balance supply and demand across the modernized grid.
