Customer Profiles – Analysing the customers of today Peter Davison Durham University
The aims of CLNR • WHY? • So UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) can be robust to the challenges and are able to exploit the opportunities presented by decarbonisation • WHAT? • What is the optimum mix of technical, social and commercial interventions to facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy.
How do we tackle the problem? • Heat pump cluster • Focussed integrated network technology on rural and urban network: • Enhanced automatic voltage control • Real-time thermal rating • Electrical energy storage National smart meter data offers baseline electricity profiles • Analysis of new loads and generation • Active customer participation to minimise electricity costs through flexibility • PV generation cluster
Learning outcomes • Learning Outcome 1 - Monitoring:What are current, emerging and possible future customer (load and generation) characteristics? • Learning Outcome 2 – Customer flexibility: To what extent are customers flexible in their load and generation, and what is the cost of this flexibility? • Learning Outcome 3 – Network flexibility: To what extent is the network flexible and what is the cost of this flexibility? • Learning Outcome 4 – Optimum solutions: What is the optimum solution to resolve network constraints driven by the transition to a low carbon economy? • Learning Outcome 5 – Effective delivery: What are the most effective means to deliver optimal solutions between customer, supplier and distributor?
Data Analysis • 14,000 I&C customers, ½ hourly - 2 years • ≈4,500 residential customers, ½ hourly - 1 year • 9,000 target • 1,700 SME , ½ hourly - 1 year • 2,250 target • Plus network monitoring LV, RTTR … • Test Cell 1 data alone is comparable to the size of the Irish Trials, we have 20 test cells
