SMART GRID SERVICES
Site Analysis and Opportunity Assessment
Smart Grid Consultancy provides highly specialised services in relation to Smart Grid Strategy & Technologies. Focussing primarily on simplifying the potential opportunities that exist regardless of whether your interest is as a utility provider or energy user. The founder of the organisation has been involved in Smart Grid technologies and services since 2006 and is generally recognised as one of the pioneers of the industry, particularly in the area of DSR (Demand Side Response)
As the market has developed there are now a number of different opportunities that are available for organisations considering taking part in Smart Grid or DSR programmes. This can make the industry appear confusing and difficult knowing where to start. What questions to ask and who to work with can appear confusing and can be a challenge identifying which services are best?
• National Grid Balancing Services • Aggregator Services • Cost avoidance (DUoS & triad) • Energy Trading • DNO Projects
One of the primary services offered by Smart Grid Consultancy is a three stage site analysis and Smart Grid strategy. With engineers who can carry out a survey and audit of a site’s assets and associated energy data it is possible to identify what potential may be there for
reducing costs, generating new revenue and reducing CO2 impact. After this initial step which will be concluded with a site report, it is necessary to establish the associated costs of any on site expenditure against the potential benefits. For this it will be necessary to approach suppliers to establish outline costs for some or all of the following;
• Generator / grid connection • Generator controls • Building Management Controls • Planning consents • Heating / Refrigeration
Only once these outline costs are established will a business case and associated return on investment be able to be assessed. If at this stage the indications are positive to proceed, Smart Grid Consultancy will manage a competitive process of presenting a detailed tender to potential suppliers of capital works and Smart Grid / Demand Response providers in order to ensure best possible value.
As the only dedicated and independent Smart Grid Consultants in the UK that work with National Grid, Distribution Networks and generators we can offer a unique turnkey service. Working with Smart Grid Consultancy will not only maximise value and reduce risk, we will ensure that you are kept fully informed of market developments and provide access to a range of experience and trusted suppliers.
