TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER FOR ELECTRICITY NORTH WEST CLASS

Electricity North West has chosen
Fundamentals’ SuperTAPP SG as the core
technology for its CLASS (Customer Load
Active System Services) project.
The groundbreaking £9 million project has
been proven under the Low Carbon Networks
Fund trials. It’s been designed to respond to
network conditions to support National Grid by
balancing electricity consumption at peak
times and providing other ancillary services. It
also aims to generate revenue for the
Distribution System Operator (DSO) by
supplying the service to National Grid.
Electricity North West has installed
Fundamentals’ SuperTAPP SG Smart voltage
control relays in primary substations linked to
its Control Centre. An advanced network
management system supplied by Schneider
Electric enables the network to respond, in real-time, to requests from
National Grid.
Electricity North West successfully ran four trials on 60 primary
substations under the Low Carbon Networks fund to demonstrate the
CLASS approach.
