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 Involvement of other partners and external funding Relevance and timing Effective project methodology, and effectiveness of implementation - - - 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 financial benefits are mainly associated with connection of generation. References: • NE full submission pro-forma. Project incomplete not marked However the project is building on the learning from CLASS, Smart Street, Flexible Urban Networks and Flexible Plug and Play Assessment: The project currently involves some external supporters, although additional project partners and the roles of partners has not been defined. Evidence: The full submission pro-forma states that project collaborators, service providers and equipment suppliers will be selected using a competitive tendering process. No External Funders have been identified. Project Supporters include: National Grid; Scottish Power Energy Networks; Newcastle University; and Parsons Brinckerhoff. Roles of project supporters are not specifically outlined. No external funding is cited in the full submission pro-forma. References: • Full submission pro-forma.

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF D.5 Fault Level Management Fault Level Active Response (FLARE) Project Title Fault Level Active Response (FLARE) Tier 2 DNO Electricity North West Status New LCNF project funding £4,425k Project objectives FLARE has four objectives: 1. To trial the Fault Level Assessment Tool software; 2. To trial two technical and one commercial techniques which, when deployed on existing network infrastructure, will provide effective and efficient fault level control; 3. To deliver novel and highly transferable solutions that can be applied to the HV and EHV networks by any GB DNO; and 4. To demonstrate release of network capacity allowing quick and lower cost connection for customers’ demand and generation, enabling DNOs to support the UK’s decarbonisation strategy. 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 or demand. The carbon benefits are credible and quantified. Evidence: The project will avoid the need for reinforcement due to fault level constraints by using retrofitted techniques and enable quicker connection of LCTs. The full submission proforma states that FLARE could release 127,275MVA of capacity for the connection of customers’ new low carbon generation and demand (across Great Britain) and 9,517MVA in the Electricity North West area. The full submission proforma provides a preliminary scoping of the carbon impact of Flare, which quantifies carbon impacts in a number of graphs. The 2013 IET technical report Electricity Networks – Handling a Shock to the System, states that managing the impacts of high fault levels will become increasingly challenging.
