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 - 4 Assessment: Likelihood that the project will deliver significant financial benefits in the long term (ED2 and beyond) to the majority of customers Evidence: Financial benefits vary depending on which fault level mitigation technique can be applied, but all are based upon the avoidance of full network reinforcement. References: • FLARE full submission pro-forma. • Summary of the LCNF funds learning EATL, April 2016. Not assessed – project ongoing Assessment: The project involved a wide range of external partners covering some of the main technical /commercial / stakeholder aspects as applicable. Evidence: Project Partners: ABB (equipment supply and maintenance, technical support, learning and dissemination); Parsons Brinckerhoff (consultancy support, learning and dissemination); ENER-G (test cell, customer engagement/surveys, engineering support); Impact Research (customer activities, data collection, learning and dissemination); Combined Heat and Power Association (customer recruitment and engagement/surveys); Schneider Electric (software and hardware, learning and dissemination); United Utilities (technical and customer engagement). Project Supporters: The University of Manchester School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering; Tyndall Manchester Centre for Climate Change; Greater Manchester Combined Authority Full submission pro-forma shows external funding of £515k (9.3% of total project cost cited (£5,539k)).

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF FlexDGrid Project Title FlexDGrid Tier 2 DNO WPD Status Ongoing (March 2017) LCNF Project funding £13.513m Project objectives FlexDGrid’s objective is to develop and trial an advanced fault level management solution to improve the utilisation of the 11 kV networks 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. References: • Summary of the LCNF funds learning EATL, April 2016 • LCNF Full Submission Pro-Forma Evidence summary: Key project objectives: • Lower cost to connect generation • Accelerate the time to connect generation • Reduce CMLs and CIs • Facilitate the connection of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation to enable the supply of heat in new developments in Birmingham. The carbon benefits are associated with low carbon generation offsetting carbon generation and the provision of heat offsetting the direct use of gas in properties.
