Transmission charges for large businesses are based on these periods, the three half hours of highest demand that are at least 10 days apart, between November and February. But the cunning trick is that National Grid only reveals them retrospectively – and failing to hit a Triad can be very expensive. As a result, many firms curb consumption or switch to onsite generation over winter evenings to try and reduce their bills. Fear of missing a Triad results in an estimated 2GW Transmission charges are based on the three half hours of highest demand at least 10 days apart of demand reduction when a peak period is deemed likely. the lowest number of calls. from 17:00-17:30 with downward trend – the lowest That reduction is The winter 2018/19 peak demand at 45MW for about quarter of a century. encouraged by an army of Triads were as follows: • Wednesday 23 January The Triad mechanism consultants, who send Triad • Thursday 22 November 2019 from 17:30-18:00 with looks set to be scrapped as warnings to their clients, 2018 from 17:00-17:30 with peak demand at 46.9MW part of Ofgem’s charging aiming for the coveted prize peak demand at 45.3MW review, but will likely remain of guessing the three peaks in • Monday 10 December 2018 The three peaks continue a in place for a few years yet.

This enables its diesel engines to operate at variable speeds by using frequency converter technology. A detailed investigation of these benefits has been performed based on real-life measurements from three months of operations in the Race Bank wind farm off the east coast of England. The calculated fuel savings of Edda Passat achieved via its variable-speed engines are 21% lower compared to using a conventional alternating current (AC) grid with a fixed frequency. This paper will explain the technology, measurements, and results in detail. Keywords: variable-speed engine; Edda Passat; wind farm support vessel; integrated DC grid; SAVe Cube; fuel reduction; performance verification; operational profile; data logging 1. Introduction The maritime industry are focusing more and more on power optimization, driven by a necessity to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions [1–3]. New innovations like including energy storage or direct current (DC) power systems have found their way on board many vessels [4,5].

Since earlier installations had low power output (less than 1 MW) and low capacity factors (less than 30%), the farms offshore were significantly less impactful than their onshore counterparts. In the UK, however, increased government funding and support has paved the way for greater presence of offshore wind farms in their electric grid infrastructure. Now that the UK has become the leader in offshore wind energy, many sites in English and Scottish waters are being examined for their potential large-scale installations (up to 1000 MW of installed power) while current installations are considerably greater than even a decade prior.
