ACTIVE NETWORK MANAGEMENT
(Cont'd)
The ANM Meters at each site send live generation figures to the ANM
controller. When the partner generator is generating less than the export
capacity it has been allocated on the network, the spare capacity is
allocated to Awesome Energy. The other generators connected to the
network have no influence in any way.
The principle is that provided the aggregate output is less than the
combined grid connection capacity, both Dalavich hydro and the partner
generator will be able to export to the grid freely. When the combined output
exceeds the network constraint, Dalavich will have its output automatically
curtailed.
Awesome Energy was initially offered a firm connection of 50kW. The partner
generator has released an additional 220kW of unused capacity which will
increase the Dalavich minimum export connection capacity to 270kW. During
the implementation of the ANM scheme, working closely with our team of
experts, we were able to prove that AED would always be able to export
EVERYTHING that it generated.
The reality is that the combined maximum generation capability is less than
the combined licenced capacity and AED Hydro has been given a failsafe
value (the amount that we can export if the ANM system connection fails) of
350kW.
It is therefore expected that the average annual generation from the hydro
scheme will be 1,149mWh based on Low Flow Data P50.
