What is Capacity to Customers?

Capacityto Customers

Utilisedcapacity

New commercialcontracts

Combines proven technology and new commercial contracts

Innovative demand side response contracts

Remote control equipment on HV circuit and close the NOP

Technicalinnovation

Latentcapacity

Currentdemand

Effectively doubles the available capacity of the circuit

Enhanced network management software

Capacity to Customers unlocks latent capacity on the electricity network

Facilitates connection of new demand and generation without reinforcement

Allow us to control a customer’s consumption on a

circuit at the time of fault

C2C benefits summary

Releases network

capacity for use by customers’

LCTs

Creates post fault demand

response market which is less intrusive to

customers

Can defer reinforcement costs and the time taken to complete the associated

works

Full set of results and learning from Capacity to Customers is included in closedown report available on our website

Develops new DR market

Fault Support Centre

Solution: Kelvatek’s Fault Support Centre (FSC) that will actively monitor the equipment installed on ENW’s LV network – trial under IFI

Only key ‘champions’ can perform this analysis

Devices are widely used to reduce CI and CML figures

Further benefits can be obtained from the data they

provide

Analysis of data is a specialised

subject area/training

FSC benefits

Actively monitors equipment installed on LV network

Faster fault location and repair

Identification of 2nd and 3rd faults on the network

Observation of fault ‘pecking’

Identifies circuits with overloading problems

Identifies areas with poor health

Helps us understand how best to use the LV kit
