AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Has the potential to deliver net financial benefits to future and/or existing customers Has a Direct Impact on the operation of a DNO’s Distribution System - 3 Evidence that the project may deliver short-term financial benefits to a limited group of customers (e.g. associated with asset replacement deferment). Evidence: The use of RTTR would potentially reduce connection cost for generators in areas with network constraints. The NPV of RTTR vs. network reinforcement is clearly shown in the close out report. However this is not translated into the financial benefits for customers. The beneficiaries if RTTR and ANM if rolled out would be generation connectees. There are no obvious benefits for demand customers. The benefits for generation connectees would be short to medium term (if this allows more connections, the uplift per connectee would gradually reduce). References: • Close down report, October 2013 The project is ready to roll out when the energy landscape requires the solution. The project has a reasonable likelihood of being replicated by other DNOs Evidence: The RTTR system will be relevant to DNOs with high levels of renewable energy generation connected at EHV level. This will be most, but not all of DNOs. A pre-condition for use of RTTR is the wider use of ANM. SPEN plan to roll this out to cover • 33kV networks • The ARC Tier 2 project • Transmission networks SPEN are considering the use of DLR technology for a 132kV interconnection between Barlaston and Crewe. However, there has not yet been a BAU deployment of the technology as its primary application is to alleviate capacity issues on OHL connecting on shore wind farms. Since the conclusion of the project the volume of on shore windfarm connection applications has drastically dropped off due to policy changes and no projects have been identified for which real-time rating would be a viable solution.

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Generates knowledge that can be shared amongst all DNOs Focuses on network methods that are at the trialling stage 3 3 A learning dissemination event or webinar was held but there are no specific replication reports Evidence: Activities • Four academic papers published –some may be a result of the previous R&D project as they predate this Tier 1 project. • Event organised in 2013 • The close out report lists the information and insight that would be needed for replication however links in the close out report do not lead to the documents associated with this project. References: • Close down report, October 2013 Status at the end of the project aligns with TRL7 Evidence: The preceding R&D phase was the recipient of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Innovation Award in the Power / Energy Category in 2010 Section 5.5 of the close out report states that the project: “…has increased from TRL 5 (Technology component and/or basic technology subsystem validation in a relevant environment) to TRL 7 (Technology system prototype demonstration in an operational environment).” References: • Close down report, October 2013 PÖYRY MANAGEMENT CONSULTING October 2016 713_Poyry_Report_Evaluation_of_the_LCNF_FINAL_Oct_2016_v700.docx 293
