AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF<br />

LV network templates<br />

Project Title<br />

LV network templates<br />

Tier 2<br />

Status<br />

Complete<br />

LCNF project funding £7,847,579<br />

Project objectives The primary objective of the LV Network Template Project was to establish a set of novel “templates” that would accurately<br />

estimate different cluster types of load and associated voltage profiles at a given substation without the need for costly<br />

monitoring. There were four secondary objectives.<br />

Assessment<br />

Criteria<br />

Accelerates the development of a low<br />

carbon energy sector<br />

Score<br />

(1-5)<br />

Overview of assessment, sources of evidence and comments<br />

Assessment:<br />

The project clearly facilitates the connection of low carbon generation or demand.<br />

The carbon benefits are credible and quantified.<br />

Evidence:<br />

The project drivers were to reduce need for network reinforcement and facilitate connection of low carbon<br />

devices at reduced cost.<br />

One of the project SDRC criteria was to determine the effects of stresses on the network from local lowcarbon<br />

installations and identify significant, relevant findings. DNOs were to be provided with analysis and<br />

WPD commentary on application of output to network management in response to low carbon stresses and<br />

benefits. ‘Stresses on the LV<br />

Network caused by low carbon technologies’ report published.<br />

It is estimated (in the closedown report) that the project would save 41,000 tonnes a year of CO 2 .<br />
