AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Low Voltage (LV) Network Modelling and Analysis Environment Project Title Low Voltage (LV) Network Modelling and Analysis Environment Tier 1 DNO SSE Status Complete LCNF project funding £320,000 Project objectives In order to evaluate the effect of embedded generation and low carbon devices on the HV/LV network, this project sought to demonstrate in a working environment a prototype capable of: (1) recording and reporting on the deployment of low carbon devices; (2) modelling the impact of deployed low carbon devices; (3) managing multiple scenarios of low carbon LV networks; (4) performing power analysis of these networks that includes distributed generation and load profiles. A comparison of different power analysis engines is included in this project. Assessment Criteria Accelerates the development of a low carbon energy sector Score (1-5) 4 Overview of assessment, sources of evidence and comments Assessment: The project clearly facilitates the connection of low carbon generation or demand. Evidence: The project has proven that it is possible to provide the required functionality and has highlighted specific areas that need additional work to increase the automation, improve accuracy and has laid the foundations for the complete system This project has shown the initial benefits of modelling and SSEPD would now place a high value on information systems with network analysis capabilities. The prototype is intended to help understanding of the impact of low carbon technologies on LV networks, which will allow DNOs to accurately model low voltage networks in a reduced timeframe and hence decrease the chance of the network becoming a barrier to low carbon technologies.

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 System4 Generates knowledge that can be shared amongst all DNOs - 4 2 Assessment: Little or no evidence that the project will deliver financial benefit to customers. Evidence: The main benefits and knowledge delivered by the project relate to learning around the practical issues and considerations associated with integration of different systems to create a ‘low voltage network modelling environment’. (Financial) benefits to customers are not specifically outlined in the project closedown report. Learning from this project has fed into the Tier 2 New Thames Valley Vision project, which is expected to have customer benefits. References: • Low Voltage (LV) Network Modelling and Analysis Environment; Closedown report; February 2013. Assessment: The project outputs are utilised in later LNCF projects. The project has a high likelihood of being replicated by other DNOs. Evidence: The closedown report states that in order to move the system forward and ultimately end up in business as usual, additional development work is required. The project identified the appropriate choice of power analysis tool to be used such that the impact of LCTs on the LV network could be appropriately assessed. Learning from the project fed into NTVV which will refine the software.

Evidence: The tables in section 11 of the closedown report list all physical components and knowledge required to replicate the outcomes of this project. Contact email is provided for further information, although no specific replication reports are mentioned. There is no evidence of a dissemination event.
