  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

    Improved Generation Dispatch In Power Systems Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine t A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the diploma of Membership of Imperial College -by- Fergal McNamara Electrical Energy Systems Section Department of Electrical Engineering Imperial College August 1990 Page i Improved Generation Dispatch in Power Systems To my Mother and Father Page ii Improved Generation Dispatch in Power Systems ABSTRACT The economic allocation of generation among individual generating sets performed in an En­ ergy Management Centre relies on simple models of power plant behaviour. The plant is re­ garded as a power source which can be varied at will, with some maximum rate of change. However, there are many other relevant power station attributes, which, although clearly re­ cognized, are not explicitly taken in consideration in the Energy Management Centre. Primary control of grid frequency, achieved by governor action, relies on the fact that some generators are operating above the minimum pressure necessary to achieve their dispatched load. The response of such a generator to a frequency deviation from nominal, termed the governor gain, is an automatic control action aimed at reducing supply and demand imbal­ ance and hence containing frequency within limits. The ability of a generating unit to provide active power reserve for frequency regulation is a function of its dispatched load and operating pressure. If this relationship and the associated costs are known then the required reserve can be scheduled in the most economic way over the entire power system by an enhanced dispatch algorithm which includes the operating pressure.

  • Land Adjacent to Fawley Power Station, Fawley
    Planning Committee - 28 July 2020 Report Item 1 Application No: 19/00365/OUT Outline Planning Permission Site: Land Adjacent to Fawley Power Station, Fawley Proposal: Outline application for land within the New Forest National Park Authority comprising the removal of structures on the quarry site and provision of 120 new homes, 1000 square metres of new civic space including provision for Early Years Learning (Use Class D1), 200 square metres of drinking establishments (Use Class A4), a two form entry primary school, flood defences / sea wall, public open space and habitat enhancement of existing land, hard and soft landscaping, Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace, a saline lagoon, tidal creek, reconfiguration of the existing access and creation of a new access from the B3053 and access road through the site, associated infrastructure and engineering works (access to be considered) (AMENDED DESCRIPTION AND AMENDED PLANS). Applicant: Fawley Waterside Ltd Case Officer: Natalie Walter Parish: FAWLEY SUMMARY This is an outline planning application with all detailed matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) reserved for subsequent approval. The only matter of detail to be considered at this time is the means of access. The application is though accompanied by very detailed supporting documents that include an Environmental Statement, Parameter Plans and a Design Code that subsequent reserved matters’ applications must adhere to. Submitted in May last year, the application has been the subject of extensive discussions and negotiations with the applicant and statutory consultees, both prior to and following submission. The principle of the proposed development has been established through the site-specific allocation in the Authority’s recently adopted Local Plan (Policy SP26).

  • Fawley Power Station Major Development Test Topic Paper
    Proposals for land adjacent to Fawley Power Station National Parks Major Development Test – Background Paper (May 2018) 1. National Planning Policy and Guidance – Background 1.1 Since 1949 national planning policy has included coverage of major development affecting National Parks. Originally known as the ‘Silkin Test’, the precise wording of the major development test has been amended over time and the current wording is set out in paragraph 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2012). This paragraph of the NPPF states: Planning permission should be refused for major developments in these designated areas except in exceptional circumstances and where it can be demonstrated they are in the public interest. Consideration of such applications should include an assessment of: . the need for the development, including in terms of any national considerations, and the impact of permitting it, or refusing it, upon the local economy; . the cost of, and scope for, developing elsewhere outside the designated area, or meeting the need for it in some other way; and . any detrimental effect on the environment, the landscape and recreational opportunities, and the extent to which that could be moderated. 1.2 The major development test is also referred to within the Government’s online National Planning Practice Guidance resource (NPPG) which states: Planning permission should be refused for major development in a National Park, the Broads or an AONB except in exceptional circumstances and where it can be demonstrated to be in the public interest. Whether a proposed development in these designated areas should be treated as a major development, to which the policy in paragraph 116 of the Framework applies, will be a matter for the relevant decision taker, taking into account the proposal in question and the local context.

    2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document is the draft Action Plan for Fawley. The Action Plan has been produced following the review and assessment of air quality in the New Forest. This process determined the likely exceedance of the 15 minute mean objective for sulphur dioxide in Fawley village. As a result New Forest District Council had a duty to declare an Air Quality Management Area in Fawley and prepare an Action Plan. The main aim of the Action Plan is to present options which, if implemented, should reduce short term sulphur dioxide concentrations in pursuit of the sulphur dioxide 15 minute mean objective. The Action Plan confirms the likely source of sulphur dioxide is from local industrial sources. Options discussed range from industrial schemes, which are mainly based on the new permit for Esso Petroleum Ltd., to formalising the relationships between industry, the regulator (the Environment Agency), New Forest District Council and the public. The Action Plan has been put out to consultation to all interested parties, and a summary of comments received has been included in the Action Plan. It is acknowledged that the Action Plan is a continuously evolving document involving numerous groups and Authorities which may require revision in the future. 3 4 CONTENTS Executive Summary . page 3 1.0 Introduction . page 6 1.1 Local Air Quality Management . page 6 1.2 The Review and Assessment Process . page 8 1.3 Aims of the Air Quality Action Plan . page 10 2.0 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in Fawley . page 11 2.1 Fawley. page 11 2.2 Review and Assessment Process for Fawley.
