Introduction to Smarter Network Storage Nick Heyward, Smarter Network Storage Project Director
What use is energy storage to network operators? Future challenges: Increased penetration of low-carbon technologies, distributed generation and greater intermittency in the energy mix Increased electricity demand Higher peak demands Thermal & voltage constraints Less predictable load & generation cycles Significant costly and disruptive network investment, without smart intervention 5
Storage can avoid these issues, and reduce network investment costs Using storage to manage peak demands, or smooth renewables output can defer or avoid the drivers of conventional reinforcement Increased electricity demand Higher peak demands Thermal & voltage constraints Less predictable load & gen cycles Greater flexibility and avoided or reduced network investment 6
Our small-scale installation has proved some of the concepts Location: Hemsby, Great Yarmouth Energy capacity: 200 kwh Real power: 200kW (600 kw (peak) for short durations) Reactive power: 600kVAr 7
helping to provide learning and confidence in the use of storage 8
Several challenges hamper widespread adoption... High CAPEX cost of commercial storage technologies = multiple stacked benefits needed Challenges in accessing multiple benefits & optimising Limited experience of any proven business models Uncertainty in policy and regulatory landscape Limited experience and confidence in storage as network-connected assets 9
which the Smarter Network Storage project hopes to help address High Demonstrate CAPEX cost multi-purpose of commercial application storage technologies of storage sharing = multiple learning stacked on the benefits realisable needed benefits Develop Challenges novel in optimisation accessing multiple & control benefits systems & for optimising storage Provide Limited insight experience & assess of any viability proven of business multiple models business model variants Uncertainty Assess regulatory in policy and & legal regulatory barriers, landscape make recommendations & develop commercial arrangements for shared use Limited Deployment experience & operation and confidence of large-scale in storage battery as energy storage network-connected adding to body assets of learning for DNOs 10

Storage Design Drivers Storage will be of most value for network upgrade deferral where the upgrade: is costly, complex or time consuming to implement would add significant over-capacity is relieved by a relatively small amount of additional capacity headroom, and/or can be deferred by a reasonable amount of time 27
Planning Process Overview Planning consent is required to build on land or change the use of land or buildings: Town and Country Planning Acts of 1947 and 1990 Electricity Act 1989 governs some development Permitted Development determination must be conducted in accordance with the development plan, policy-led rather than influence-led planning consent time scales 28
Planning Timeline May 2012 Pre-Planning Advice 25 Oct 2012 EA Advice 7 Nov 2013 Local Consultation 7 June 2013 Planning Granted Ma June 2012 August 2012 October 2012 December 2012 February 2013 April 2013 June 2013 31 July 2012 Pre-Planning Guidance Prepare D & A Statement 8 Feb 2013 Application 27 Mar 2013 Re-submission 29
Local Resident Consultation In November 2012 prior to planning submission, a local consultation was carried out 30
Learning Points Obtaining planning approval took longer than expected a tight timetable can put pressure on negotiations relating to planning obligations Look closely at what is Permitted Development operational sites can potentially be retained operational Development control within local plan, may designate intended operational land for non-electricity undertaking purpose Planning consents at a site will lock down the external size and design of the building 31

Learning applied from Hemsby Both real and reactive power provide network benefits Round trip and whole system efficiency are required to understand lifetime costs Remote monitoring is key to prevent un-necessary system down-time Operational safety in design no exposed live equipment 56
Lessons learnt Storage footprint (capacity per unit area) varies with supplier / system design as well as with technology Storage system integration with the network should not be underestimated. Due to high level of complexity where many items are pre-requisites for each other Early construction team involvement optimise the design for build-ability Multi-disciplinary team needed to deliver final safe solution 57

Approaches to optimisation Scheduling problem is characterised by: a need to make control decisions at discrete points uncertainty in the cost and benefit of decisions opportunities changing with time Method of Dynamic Programming fits with this situation. Sub-optimal approximations to a full analytic solution are widely used: rollout algorithms certainty equivalent controllers limited look-ahead policies 2014. UK Power Networks. All rights reserved 73
Limited Look-Ahead Policy Exhaustively evaluates the consequences of following alternative control choices across a series of decision points For SNS this means that: decisions are made as to which services to combine each service combination branch is evaluated power and energy availability is tracked though-out In the example branching for the following is shown: existing schedule, peak-shaving, services (x2), value/cost calculations and state-of-charge adjustments 2014.

Further features The service calendar is mapped to output modes. This allows extensibility because new services can be mapped to existing modes The service calendar requires acceptance at key points by UKPN and 3 rd parties. Services can therefore be treated as provisional or confirmed A process to release booked calendar slots is implemented, e.g. due to service rejection from 3 rd party, or change in demand forecast 2014.
