Fig. 3.7 A typical h.v. ring-main system.<br />

Site Distribution Systems 73<br />

(1) Standby in the event <strong>of</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> DNO supply<br />

(2) Total stand alone system, possibly incorporating combined heat and power<br />

(CHP)<br />

(3) Peak lopping<br />

(4) Utilisation <strong>of</strong> available process steam through a pass-out turbine.<br />

Site generating plant may be operated in a number <strong>of</strong> different modes:<br />

(1) ‘Island mode’, i.e. disconnected from any DNO supply<br />

(2) In parallel with the DNO under normal conditions<br />

(3) In parallel with the DNO supply only briefly to permit continuity during<br />

changeovers.<br />

Consultation and formal agreement with the DNO are required if paralleling with<br />

their supply, even briefly, is envisaged. Where generating plant is intended to have<br />

a ‘standby’ role it is essential that the risks that it is intended to cover are fully<br />

assessed and that it is decided in exactly what circumstances its deployment will be<br />

required. For example, in Fig. 3.8 the 11kV generator provides an alternative in the
