New Thames Valley Vision : LCNF Tier 2 SDRC 9.2(b) Evidence Report 100 Substation Monitoring Installations Installed

Abstract:

This document is an Evidence Report for the same installation of substation monitors that produced the New Thames Valley Vision - Substations Dataset.

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

This document provides details of the completion of the installation of the 100 substation monitors, and presents the findings identified in line with the evidence criteria specified for the Successful Delivery Reward Criteria (SDRC).

Some LV feeders have little or no headroom whilst others have a reasonable amount available for historic network reasons. The substation monitoring will provide real data for comparison with the estimates and forecasts. The substation monitoring will also provide data to support the development of the most appropriate deployment strategy and operating regimes for energy storage as a solution to the network problems identified.

SDRC 9.2 (b) was established to acknowledge the clear focus given to the fitting of substation 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 identifies the serial numbers of the devices fitted, and provides a sample of the data collected to ensure that appropriate evidence of compliance with the SDRC is available.
