AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF D.4 Distributed Generation Connection Flexible Plug and Play Project Title Flexible Plug & Play (FPP) Tier 2 DNO UKPN Status Complete LCNF project funding £6,780k Project objectives Develop a Strategic Investment Model which will allow DNOs to quantify, for different demand and generation scenarios, the integrated value and benefits of different smart technologies, smart commercial arrangements and smart applications. This model will also determine from both an economic and carbon perspective whether it is better to reinforce the network or use smart alternatives. Assessment Criteria Accelerates the development of a low carbon energy sector Score (1-5) 5 Overview of assessment, sources of evidence and comments Assessment: The project clearly facilitates the connection of low carbon generation. The carbon benefits are credible and quantified. Evidence: The project has enabled £54 million worth of low carbon generation projects to be built that otherwise would not have been financially viable (assuming £1 per MW). The full submission pro-forma estimated that the FPP project could deliver 242 thousand tonnes of CO 2 emission savings by 2020. The closedown report provides some analysis the emissions and cost of different solutions (traditional network with no DG curtailment; connect and manage; FPP approach).

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Has the potential to deliver net financial benefits to future and/or existing customers Generates knowledge that can be shared amongst all DNOs - 5 Assessment: The project is highly likely to deliver significant financial benefits in the long term (ED2 and beyond) to selected group of customers Evidence: The techniques demonstrated in the project can save DG customers significant reinforcement costs and allow DG connections to take place that would have been non-viable without the flexible connection option. This will be applicable to networks and DG connections across GB. References: • FPP closedown report; 2015. Assessment: Specific replication report(s) exist. These cover the main technical / commercial / stakeholder aspects as applicable. A learning dissemination event or webinar was held. Evidence: Section 10 of the closedown report covers project replication. It outlines customer engagement, communication platform, Quadrature-booster, Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) and ANM solutions. The section references specific replication reports, such as the SDRC reports, high level design report, acceptance test report and trial report. The trial reports contain specific learnings. Dissemination to external stakeholders was carried out via conferences, SDRC learning reports, the project website, an innovation newsletter, one-to-one sessions with DNOs and key stakeholders and awards (shortlisted for five, won two). A learning event was organised at the end of the project. The learning has been used in the SPEN ARC project.
