The Advisory Group is essential to our project to:

Ensure stakeholders are aware and taking the Project into account;

Request input from stakeholders to improve the quality of our products;

Increase awareness about project risks & issues, ask for views on risks & issues and

collaboratively resolve where appropriate.

It will provide input to:

Steering Group on project scope, progress, risks & issues;

Workstreams with deliverable comments/feedback.

We will seek to send information in advance of meetings to ensure that views can be sought

by trade associations in advance. Our objective is to encourage open feedback from you all

across all of our work.

Thank you for the continued input.

Advisory Group ToR Reminder


The intention of the bulk of this meeting is to split the Advisory Group into 3 break-out groups to discuss the materials.

Each break-out group will discuss the material from workstreams for just under an hour, then the facilitators will move on

to discuss their material with another break-out group. We will have 3 of these sessions, so each break-out group will

discuss all of the material in turn.

Progress Update

Launched Call for Evidence on Treatment of Flexibility to support P10. A public webinar was held on 17th and 24th

May to provide an overview on the call for evidence and address any questions.

Published key learnings to inform development of processes for efficient procurement of DER services under P2

Published findings from review of P2-7 and SQSS to identify any barriers to whole system planning under P4

Published document that sets out different types of information that is available for customers seeking connections under P8 that will look at establishing the feasibility of a system wide resource register.

Based on stakeholder feedback, we have now opened up product development in this workstream to external participants under the Terms of Reference.

We are currently working on developing a top 100 list under P3 for commonly used terms in the industry and are defining them for consistency across networks and providing more clarity to customers – under discussion today.

Other product development in progress across the workstream

Workshops were undertaken with stakeholders in April to develop the NETSO Coordinates and Independent Flexibility Coordinators Worlds.

The DSO Functions have now been revised, taking on board stakeholder feedback through the SGAM workshops and the Advisory Group. These updated functions have now been published.

The SGAM modelling of the 5 Worlds has now been completed and a consultation will be launched in Jul 18 to seek stakeholder feedback before the models are progressed to the next stage for an independent impact assessment for comparison.

A consultation was held on the programme of work for 2018 and the feedback has now been taken on board to amend the scope, timelines and priorities. A summary of the response can be found here.

Now that the CFF TF work has been completed, this workstream has been put on hold. There is no further charging work underway in Workstream 4 currently.

Planned Consultations 2018

Workstream 1 | T-D ProcessProduct 2: DER Services Procurement

DSO Service Requirements

Sotiris Georgiopoulos (UKPN)

Ian Pashley (National Grid)


Aims of this Session

• Outline the services DSOs require to manage congestion on distribution networks

• Present initial views of products that could be procured to meet these requirements

Overview of DSO Service*

Needs

• Seek early input on the requirements and products

• Understand how stakeholders would like to engage in ongoing development work

Stakeholder Engagement

• Development of end-to-end procurement processes

• Alignment with National Grid Balancing Services

• Links to Work Stream 1 Product 6 (Regional Service Requirements)

Links to Other Activities

*Further services may be required (e.g. reactive power, black start), however we are focusing initially on active power services


Overview of DSO Service Requirements

•Scheduled Constraint Management - a pre-agreed change in input or output over a defined time period to prevent a network going beyond its firm capacity

•Pre-fault Forecast Constraint Management - a customer is contracted to be available to the DNO over (e.g.) winter evening peaks. The DNO then calls the customer on the day of the worst predicted loadings

•Pre-fault Real-time Constraint Management – a customer is contracted to be available to the DNO over (e.g.) winter evening peaks. The DNO system then calls the service when the loading reaches the firm capacity

Pre-fault services:

•Post-fault Constraint Management - this will generally be instructed through an automated system and will utilise the short term ratings of the assets, such that a sustainable post-fault flow can be achieved

•Restoration Support – following a loss of supply, the DSO instructs a provider to either remain off supply (or to reconnect with lower demand) to support increased and faster load restoration under depleted network conditions

Post-fault services:


Overview of DSO Product Definitions

Service Requirements have been translated into Product Definitions based on the specification provided in the EDSO Report*

WS2 P5 2018 – Contents for Advisory Group

4th June 2018

-Aim of this presentation

-Aims of Product 5

-Coverage of Product 5

-Proposed content of the interactivity good practice guide

-Proposed content of the queue management good practice guide

-Timetable for Product 5 delivery


Presentation Aims

-To update you on the progress of WS2 Product 5

-To seek your input into the next stages of product development

-No outcomes / conclusions being tabled

-General questions for the group:

-What additions or subtractions to P5 would you propose?

-What examples and experiences do you have that could feed into

this product?

-Please ask questions as we go along


Aim of Product 5:

- To review existing practice and propose good practice for interactivity and queue management.

- Workstream 1 P10/11 are looking specifically at storage.

How does P5 help the move towards DSO?

– Clearer guidance on interactivity and queue management will make the general connection process smoother for new customers, and will help to attract DER customers.

– Improved queue management will allow transmission and distribution customers with viable schemes to connect in a more timely manner.

WS2 P5 Aims


WS2 P5 2018 Coverage


- Product team in place, including DNOs, TOs and SO

- Regular product development meetings

- Outline product content developed

WS2 P5 – Part 1 Interactivity


What is interactivity?

- Interactivity is when two or more customers have received offers to make use of a section of network that isn’t capable of accepting all the capacity. Demand or generation.

- Example:

- Network capacity – 20MVA

- Three offers issued – total 25MVA

- Any two of the three can proceed without reinforcement

- The interactivity process governs who gains the capacity

- The place in the queue is determined by application date

WS2 P5 Interactivity Content

It is proposed that P5 will cover the following interactivity content:

-Interactivity within a DNO

-Review existing processes

-Interactivity between IDNO and DNO – new

-IDNOs currently treated as one customer. Other options?

-Interactivity between DNO and SO - new

-Currently no formal process. What should the relative queue positions

be?

-Interactivity between DNO and DNO - new

- Currently no formal process. Should one DNO make an application to

another? What should the relative queue positions be?

-Data sharing: format, timescales, confidentiality


WS2 P5 – Part 2 Queue Management


What is queue management?

- It specifically refers to accepted / committed schemes.

- The aim of queue management is to ensure that accepted schemes will progress to connection in line with their milestones, and to release capacity from slow moving schemes to allow further advanced schemes to progress.

- It must be undertaken in a way to ensure fairness and confidentiality.

- Compliments QMEC (Quicker More Efficient Connections)

- Milestones; allowable changes

WS2 P5 Queue Management


It is proposed that P5 will cover the following queue management content (across various interfaces):

- Develop milestones for T connections – line up with D milestones

- Permanent reallocation of capacity

- Capacity may be created (through general reinforcement, asset replacement, etc), or released (through scheme withdrawals).

- How is this allocated? What priority?

- E.g. connected (remove constraints) – accepted (constraints / reinforcement) – offered – applied

- Temporary reallocation of capacity

- Allows schemes ready to connect to proceed prior to required reinforcement.

- Permission required from customers from whom capacity is reallocated? Guaranteed period of access?

WS2 P5 Queue Management Content 1


- Permanent reshuffle (for missing milestones)

- Should slow moving schemes which miss milestones be permanently moved? Should capacity be allocated in specific connection windows? Restrictions on the number of times schemes are delayed?

- Securities and cancellation charges

- How are cancellation charges passed on across boundaries?

- Development of transmission access

- How should this product cover this? E.g. Orkney. 600MW of accepted schemes, but no investment yet.

- Connection agreements

- Restrict to installed capacity rather than offered capacity? Other options?

- Issues relating to charging through Charging Futures Forum / Ofgem’s Access Review

SGAM Models for ConsultationDiscussion on Presentation of SGAM

Models for ConsultationManuel Castro & Dave A Roberts (EATL)

Steve Gough (SSEN)


Objective: to provide transparency and enable review of the SGAM models by a wide range of stakeholders

• Using Enterprise Architect

– each world is modelled separately

– it is possible to generate interactive HTML documentation for each world

Question: how can we use these features to enable effective consultation?

Consultation


• Proposal:

– WS3 consultation website hosts HTML models (one for each world)

– Each model provides the option of navigation

• By actor (to make it easier for stakeholders)

• By function (to make it easier for network operators)
