Transition to Distribution System Operator


The pace and scale of change is increasing TSOs will increasingly rely on Distribution resources to manage the energy system

Efforts to decarbonise the power sector could see 40-60% of total generation capacity connected at distribution level by 2035

(TSO) Transmission System Operator


The pace and scale of change is increasing DSOs will be critical in delivering the cost-effective decarbonisation of the energy system

Storage Market Growing

We have 660MW of accepted storage offers across our three

networks including 25% of the EFR capacity (50MW – 2 projects)

Further Growth in Solar

The DG sector is continuously looking for new business models –

emergence of the first Solar / Storage schemes with no subsidy

support

Electric Vehicle Market Active

We see acceleration in London’s commercial sector fleet with

Transport for London aiming to have 300 electric buses in the

street by 2020


The call for action for DNOs to transition to a DSOEvolving roles for distribution network operators

DSO role What does it mean?

Keeping the lights on Secure and reliable supplies, taking into account two way flows and commercial services at distribution level and optimising DER output

Fair and cost-effective grid access

Use of innovative technologies such as active network management to provide cost-effective connections

Efficient and economic network development

Network planning and investment to deliver an efficient network using innovative and market solutions such as Demand Side Response

Support the wider system and enable markets

New role - Coordination with the SO/TO at planning and operational stages, joint procurement of services, market facilitation for DER, local energy market operation


The call for action for DNOs to transition to a DSONew capabilities are required in Distribution Networks to deliver benefits

Integrated System Planning

Transmission & Distribution systems

The call for action for DNOs to transition to a DSOOur DSO development strategy – pragmatic, transparent and customer-led

• Define new operating model - First DNO to have dedicated DSO development team

• Identify no regret investments - Invest in skills and systems and technology

Identify , prioritise & deliver the DSO capabilities

• Our innovation portfolio has been developing DSO functionality since 2010

• Most operational network under ANM - Flexible connections across all EPN and SPN by 2020

• Procure flexibility as an alternative to network capacity (Tender in 2017)

Embed the successful innovation and continue innovating

• New Technical Standards (Electric Vehicle (EV), Grid Scale and Domestic Storage, System Monitoring)

• New Processes (fast track G59 for domestic storage)

• EV Charging (time connection for London’s first fully electric bus depot)

• Unlock storage connections and benefits

Prepare for EV and Storage

• Regional Development Programme SPNWorking closely with the TSO on the TSO / DSO interface

• Energy Networks Association Transmission and Distribution Interface WorkstreamWorking closely with the industry

A world-first trial the “Transmission and Distribution Interface (TDI 2.0)” project will help connect more renewable energy and storage technology in the South East.

Customer Benefits:

• Additional capacity to Connect at Bolney, Ninfield, Sellindge and Canterbury Grid Supply Points.

• Opportunity to participate in a trial of a reactive regional power market to provide services to National Grid via UK Power Networks DSO.

New capabilities –

Provide reactive and active

power services to National Grid

using connected and new

distributed energy resources to

manage the transmission and

distribution constraints

Project Duration:

January 2017 to 2019

Enhanced capabilities –

Increasing visibility and control

of distributed generation and

storage on the network

• Our DSO transition is well underway:

• Our innovation portfolio has been developing DSO functionality since 2010

• We are focusing heavily on developing the DSO capabilities (dedicated resources,investment in new skills and systems) in a pragmatic, customer – led way

• We will be looking to work with customers in 2017:

• To co-design and trial new DSO commercial products

• To procure active and reactive power services

• UK Power Networks Flexibility Tender

• TDI 2.0 Reactive Power Tender and Trial

To summarise DSOs will be critical in delivering the cost-effective decarbonisation of the energy system


Design of the DSO for the benefit of customers– we want to listen to your needs and successfully respond

Help us to prioritise our focus:

• What should be our priorities?

• What would you like us to do around the topic of DSO?

• How would you want to be kept informed of our DSO activities?
