SVA History
• 14 Regional Electricity Boards
• 1990 – competition in Supply > 1MW
• 1994 – extended to > 100 kW
• 1998 – full competition
• 2000+ – competition in agency
services
• 2001 – NETA Arrangements
• 2005 – BETTA Arrangements

Profiling
• Over 29 million NHH meters
• Settlement operates on HH basis
• Consumption is profiled to allocate
annualised consumption to Half Hours

The Ice Cream Test
• If 50% of annual ice cream sales occur in August
• And 50,000 ice creams are sold in August
• What are the annual sales? ______
• If 5% of annual ice-cream sales occur on 5th August
• How many are sold on 5th August? ______
![Page 20: Overview of Supplier Volume Allocation David Osborne](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d955503460f94a7da74/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
That’s how electricity settlement works!
• What do profiles look like?
• How are they used to annualise customer demand?
• How are they used to estimate Suppliers’ demand in a given half hour?

EACs/AAs
• Annualised Advance
– the rate of consumption for a Settlement
Register over the period between two meter
readings.
• Estimated Annual Consumption
– an estimated rate of consumption used in
Settlement until an AA is calculated
– similar to an Annual Quantity (AQ) in Gas?

Data AggregationEstimated yearly demand values are added up for customerswith same Supplier, Profile Class, meter configuration by a Data Aggregator to give theestimated yearly demand for Settlement Class ora “super customer”

NHH Data Aggregation
• NHH Data Aggregator aggregates annualised consumption for each distribution area, Settlement Date and Run Type
• an AA is used in preference to an EAC
• a default value is used where there is no AA or EAC

Supplier Volume Allocation Agent
• applies half hourly profile to
aggregated AA/EACs to calculate
profiled HH demand per Supplier
• estimates line losses based on factors
from Distribution businesses
• applies ‘GSP Group Correction’

Electricity is metered twice – at customer’s meter and at Grid

GSP Group Correction
• NHH demand (import less export plus estimated line losses) are “corrected” so that total NHH and HH volumes for the Settlement Period equal the GSP Group Take
• volumes attributable to each Supplier are scaled up or down in each HH/GSP Group via CF
• since GSP Group correction is effectively distributing
“settlement error” amongst Suppliers, it makes sense to
correct those categories of consumption that are more
prone to error than others
• NHH is obvious candidate as Settlement Period values are
estimated (using profiles) rather than metered.
