New Thames Valley Vision : LCNF Tier 2 SDRC 9.2(a) Evidence Report 250 End Point Monitors Installed

Abstract:

This document is an Evidence Report for the same installation of end point monitors that produced the New Thames Valley Vision - End Point Monitors Dataset.

The NTVV project requires half hourly energy data to be captured from end points on the low voltage network so that energy usage patterns can be identified, categorised and forecast and aggregated to network level. With this information it is expected that meaningful forecasts can be made regarding the future loading of the low voltage network.

Had the smart meter roll out programme progressed to an advanced level (during 2012), data could have been obtained directly from energy suppliers. It was recognised at the conception of the project that availability of real smart meter data was at best uncertain, and realistically likely to be limited. The availability of alternative devices that could be fitted as part of the project would give considerably enhanced certainty of data availability. The end point monitors installed to date provide this data.

SDRC 9.2 (a) was established to ensure that a clear focus was given to the fitting of end point monitors so that data is captured at the earliest possible stage and made available to our Project Partner the University of Reading. All subsequent stages of data analysis depend upon this data and hence the high priority given to this task.

This document provides details of the completion of the installation of the 250 end point monitors, and presents the findings identified in line with the evidence criteria specified for the Successful Delivery Reward Criteria (SDRC).

This document also identifies the serial numbers of the devices fitted, and provides samples of the data collected to ensure that appropriate evidence of compliance with the SDRC is available.
