Scope and objectives
The scope of this project was the creation of commercial incentives to encourage an ESP to locate an ESS where it would provide real benefits to a DNO.
Objectives:
Create commercial contracts that will incentivise 3rd Party ESPs to locate on a constrained distribution network
Prepare a tender process that will ensure that the ESPs selected will fulfil the success criteria
Design up to 2 connection points for ESSs outside KPS
Award up to 2 ESPs
Success criteria
For this project to be a success commercial arrangements had to be identified that would be shown to attract ESPs with suitably tuned ESS
Which bit ?Really? Is that true?
Great. How do the rest of us who don't have access to the sun longe get involved......?I'm doing some digging on this, I think we should take it over to the Sun Lounge tbh
DC coupled doesn't appear to be an issue - single inverter usually and type approved to G83.
It's the AC Coupled / Retrofit environment that the DNO's are sniffy about / potentially requires approval and it's G59 because the potential is there to go over 16A if already got a G83 3.68kW PV inverter attached. Even though the role of the systems is only to provide power on demand to the house load, the systems on the market don't have any formally approved export limitation devices. in practice Western Power are being most flexible and accepting assurances from SMA and Victron, so sometimes it's just a phone call.
Bearing in mind that the better systems can be configured either for uses such as load levelling i.e reducing import or base load support e.g. nighttime discharge then the DNO's are looking favourably on it, and may even start to require it as their infrastructure gets more unevenly loaded.
