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

SSEPD – Impact of<br />

Electrolysers on the<br />

Network<br />

The knowledge generated in the project will help<br />

DNOs to prepare and understand the potential<br />

impact of the wide-spread adoption of hydrogen<br />

vehicles including the potential impact of a rollout<br />

of hydrogen refuelling stations and the<br />

alternative operational modes. This could avoid<br />

adding to local peak demand, reducing<br />

generation constraints, and also help avoid<br />

reinforcement. It could allow more renewable<br />

generation on to the grid and improve the<br />

amount of 'green' hydrogen which could be<br />

produced.<br />

SSEPD – Benefits of<br />

Monitoring LV<br />

Networks<br />

Enabled GB DNOs and vendors to better<br />

understand requirements and challenges,<br />

leading to better and cheaper LV monitoring<br />

products and practices. Demonstrated that they<br />

can be installed extremely quickly and<br />

efficiently.<br />

Proved safety aspects of fitting monitoring<br />

equipment into live distribution substations and<br />

enabled NTVV to progress with substation<br />

monitoring to the time line necessary for the<br />

provision of data. Highlighted the high cost of<br />

monitoring and installation and initiated ‘price<br />

challenges’ on innovation via the EiC. Early<br />

outcomes indicate that monitoring costs can be<br />

reduced from £5,000 to £1,000 per installation.<br />
