Develop future load scenarios • Are the current profiles sufficient? • Do we need more sophisticated customer profiles ? • To find out: • Model different levels of uptake of low carbon technology • Build customer profiles from types of use • Create a larger set of customer types • SIM visualises expected constraints

What does it do? • Network analysis for a Scenario encompassing many years. • Applies possible techniques to constraints • Assess solutions against multiple criteria (cost, practicality, CIs CMLs etc.) • Analysis & Visualisation of results
Use of SIM • Guidelines on alternatives to reinforcement • Best options for this type of problem? • In which conditions is this solution suitable? Falcon • To support long term network planning e.g. for capital program / price control. • 11kV Network planning tool • Evaluate other solutions than used in Falcon After Falcon

Half Hourly Load Estimates present day Estimation Method Settlement data Energy model Network Measurements Quality Metrics & Analysis How well can we estimate loads today?Can we substitute estimates for monitoring equipment? Cost Fully monitored FullyEstimated Optimum Uncertainty
Load Estimation – Industry Data • Based on the process used for settlement • Half Hourly estimates for non half hourly metered customers • Uses Estimated Annual Consumption + Profile coefficients for 8 different customer types. Add in Half hourly metered load, unmetered supplies, losses.Does this give us a good estimate? If so then use past data for similar day for real time estimation. But not so good for predicting load in 20 years time.
Energy Model • Wider range of customer types(Dwelling type & age, heating system, occupancy, demographics ) • Customer PropensityDifferential uptake of new technologies. • Models different types of electricity usage (Heating, lighting, appliances, etc.) • Calculate impact of new technologies / changed efficiencies on load profile
