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

E.4 Distributed Generation<br />

Network Management on the Isles of Scilly<br />

Project Title<br />

Network Management on the Isles of Scilly<br />

Tier 1<br />

DNO<br />

WPD<br />

Status<br />

Complete<br />

LCNF project funding £1,125,000<br />

Project objectives The scope and objectives of the project, as detailed in the original LCNF Tier-1 pro forma, were to:<br />

• Establish a real-time monitoring system on all the distribution substations.<br />

• Maximise existing generation facilities.<br />

• Control the generation using new methods.<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 not specifically quantified.<br />

Evidence:<br />

This project has created a platform to build an understanding of LV loading in weakly connected areas<br />

that may be supplied by generation islanded from the main network. Knowledge has been generated to<br />

help implement a platform which supports the connection of embedded generation and is able to<br />

maximise the effectiveness of any controllable generation. During the project 15 embedded low carbon<br />

generators have been connected across the Isles and the installation of the monitoring will allow this to be<br />

expanded.<br />

The carbon benefits are not specifically quantified.<br />
