AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Assessment: The project has been /is ready to roll out into BAU. The project has a high likelihood of being replicated by other DNOs. Evidence: The solution could be rolled out into BAU – closedown report identifies that there are no technical hurdles to prevent the roll out of CLASS by any DNO. Hence this project is relevant once the energy landscape requires it. Both NPG and SPEN mentioned the CLASS project in their BAU discussions with EA Technology in the LCNF project learning study. Relevance and timing 4 The solution will defer local network reinforcement, and how long reinforcement can be deferred depends on how loaded specific assets are and how quickly the local peak demand increases. Effective project methodology, and effectiveness of implementation 4 The solution provides global frequency response (avoiding simultaneous transformer reclosing would need to be considered is taken up as a widespread solution). The area of voltage control as a smart solution is applicable to all networks and has been identified by several DNOs as being of interest, SPEN and NPG specifically mentioned the Class project in a response to EATL during the LCNF project learning project: UKPN, NPG have identified enhanced voltage control as a solution in their innovation business plans References: Class Close down report UKPN: Our approach to Innovation Strategy and delivery March 2014 NPG: Our business plan, Annex 1.9, Smart Grid development plan, March 2014 Assessment: The project achieved all its successful delivery reward criteria (SDRC) and there was no overspend >10%,however the variance was >10% Evidence: Total project variance 11% (underspend) due to project efficiencies All the project SDRCs were met apart from the ongoing final SDRC to continue a ten year data collection and analysis which is being undertaken by ENWL in conjunction with National Grid References: Class Close down report PÖYRY MANAGEMENT CONSULTING October 2016 713_Poyry_Report_Evaluation_of_the_LCNF_FINAL_Oct_2016_v700.docx 254
AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Customer Led Network Revolution (CLNR) Project Title Customer Led Network Revolution (CLNR) Tier 2 DNO Northern Power Grid (NPG) Status Complete LCNF project funding £27,353k Project objectives Smart grid project designed to test a range of customer-side innovations (innovative tariffs and load control incentives) alone and in combination with network-side technology (including voltage control, real time thermal rating and storage). The project was designed to deliver robust learning that would be applicable to a high percentage of GB networks and demographic groups. 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 set out to deliver cost effective solutions to managing the additional strain that will be placed on electricity distribution networks that will be caused by the transition to a low carbon economy, in particular the change to load and generation patterns due to the forecast growth of LCTs. It has achieved this by delivering learning that quantifies the impact of future load and generation profiles, quantifying the scale and cost of both network flexibility and customer flexibility and providing a decision support tool and a control system that are able to optimise from a range of solutions to provide the most appropriate solutions for deployment to address a range of constraints and, once deployed, operate the solutions in real-time to provide the optimum response based upon real-time network monitoring / modelling. In the final report learning outcome 4 sought to develop the overall optimum solutions to resolve future network constraints which could result from the transition to a low carbon economy. Analysis and modelling was used to draw conclusions on this learning outcome. The final report states: ‘On the assumption that the project learning is adopted nationally (where the learning is replicable), it is estimated that the project will deliver, to consumers over the period 2020 – 2050, a present value (i.e. discounted to 2014 value) of between £5.0bn and £26.0bn of net financial benefits, including value from between 10.8MtCO2 and 32.5MtCO 2 emission savings’.
