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

E.8 Storage<br />

Demonstrating the Benefits of Short-Term Discharge Energy Storage on an 11kV Distribution Network<br />

Project Title<br />

Demonstrating the Benefits of Short-Term Discharge Energy Storage on an 11kV Distribution Network<br />

Tier 1<br />

DNO<br />

UKPN<br />

Status<br />

Complete<br />

LCNF project funding £225,000<br />

Project objectives The objectives of this project are to:<br />

• perform validation of a storage device’s capabilities with respect to data sheet performance, when installed on a real<br />

network. Specifically, the efficiency of the device will be measured;<br />

• demonstrate load-shifting within the limits of the device capability (200kWh, 1-hour discharge duration);<br />

• understand the extent to which these interventions could be scaled up to manage larger quantities of demand or<br />

generation;<br />

• validate a number of use-cases and understand their relative value to the DNO and to an intermittent generator;<br />

• understand the potential lifetime of the device;<br />

• embed the learning into a design tool for network planners, and into dissemination material for the UK DNO<br />

community; and<br />

• propose next steps.<br />
