Introduction
Active Network Management and the Smart Grid
Rolling out ANM
The Orkney Smart Grid
- Description of an existing ANM scheme
- Communication infrastructure
- Contractual infrastructure
- Lessons Learned
Shetland smart grid
- ANM on an islanded system- Managing wind with energy
storage and flexible demand- Enhanced wind turbine requirements for Shetland

Orkney Smart Grid
Population: ~ 20,000Electrical demand: 6 – 31 MWExisting renewable generation: 26MWElectrical connection: 2 x 20MW undersea cables
Orkney Smart Grid
2 x 20 MW undersea Cables Demand Min: 6MW
Firm Wind: 26MW
Intratrip controlled Non Firm
Wind: 20MW
New Non Firm Wind: 18.5MW

Orkney - Outcomes
•New Non Firm Capacity Installed so far: 18.5MW•Cost of project ~ £0.5M•(Projected cost of network reinforcement ~£30M)•Advantages to Wind Generators: Significantly quicker connections and certainty of when connections available• Lessons Learned: Communications reliability is paramount!
NINES – Shetland ANM
Population: ~ 22,000Electrical demand: 12 – 45 MWExisting renewable generation: 3.6MWElectrical network: Islanded

NINES – Shetland ANMNon-Firm Wind
Battery energy storage
Large scale demand management
Domestic demand side management
Frequency Responsive
Objectives:1. Maximise renewable
generation
2. Define network stability
3. Smooth conventional generation
4. Frequency responsive components
Stability and Scheduling
Forecasting
Scheduling Engine
How do you use forecasts?
-uncertainty- Real time-monitoring and control-rescheduling decisions- Identify potentially problematic forecasts (e.g. Wind speeds near wind turbine cut outs)
Wind Forecast
Fixed Demand Forecast
Flexible Demand Forecast
NINES for DevelopersLast In First Out (LIFO)
Principle – of – access
Advantages: - Bankable- Easy to understand- New connections don’t
affect your expected curtailment
Dis-advantages: - All capacity to a few
generators- Does not maximise
viable capacity
Example of Curtailment
Connecting together with demand- ‘Private’ flexible demand → reduce
curtailment - NINES example: electric boiler for
district heating
NINES: Connection Process
Initial expression of interest
Initial feasibility study provided
Formal Connection Request: Requires Planning permission
Feasibility Study includes:- The connection process
- Communication requirements- ANM equipment requirements- Details of connections and costs
- Fault ride through, protection and additional technical requirements
- Constraint analysis estimate
Accept connection offer:
Developer signs agreement and pays
full connection charge
Generation must go live within 2
year period
Defines position in LIFO queue
Generator to comply with ANM control
signals
Formal Connection Offer:Includes revised constraint
analysis
Rolling out ANM
Key LessonsANM can be quicker, many times
cheaper and make more efficient use of capacity
Communications reliability is vital
Wind farm projects in ANM schemes are bankable under well defined principles of access
Direct linkage with demand will reduce curtailment
Wind turbines will be asked to provide additional distribution services
The future
ANM moving towards ‘business as usual’ on rural distribution networks in
Scotland
Effective use of forecasts for demand and weather important
Wind generation can provide ancillary service when communications in place
ANM to control a range of devices (Generators, Demand, Prosumers)
