A collection of articles and explainers by Roadnight Taylor on the electricity transmission network.
Technical Limits is the process being rolled out by Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) (as part of the ENA’s 3-point plan), starting at the end of 2023, to allow distribution schemes to connect before large scale transmission reinforcement work has finished.
The Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) Register is a record of generation projects that hold contracts for Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) with National Grid ESO
Deep Connect and Manage (DC&M) was thought of as a way to allow additional distribution generation to connect to the electricity networks, without incurring huge transmission reinforcement costs. Here we explain more.
Connect and Manage (C&M) was introduced to improve access to the transmission system for transmission-connected generators. Here we look at C&M, enabling works, wider works, higher system constraints and attributable liabilities.
Third Party Works are works which are associated with a connection being made directly onto the electricity transmission network but which must first be carried out downstream on an electricity distribution network which it will be impacting.
We illustrate tertiary windings and connections, and explain why they are so popular for connections.
Statement of Works, Appendix G, Project Progressions and Modification Applications - what are they and what is the difference? And what are the implications for new generation connections?
'The national grid’ is commonly used to describe the entire electrical network in GB. However, from a network perspective, ‘National Grid’ is a much more specific term, which we describe in this article.
