Exhibitors

National Grid ESO Black Start from DSR The Black Start from Distributed Energy Resources (DER) project is a partnership between National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO), SP Energy Networks (SPEN) and TNEI (a specialist energy consultancy) that has been awarded £10.3 million of Network Innovation Competition (NIC) funding.

The project is exploring how DER can be used to restore power in the highly unlikely event of a total or partial shutdown of the National Electricity Transmission System. The enormous growth in DER presents an opportunity to develop a radically different approach to Black Start. However, there are significant technical, organisational and commercial challenges to address.

Commercial Solutions for Network Development The ESO is introducing new markets to enable commercial and distribution based solutions to compete with Transmission Assets to address future transmission network needs. We’re currently running pathfinding projects exploring how to seek and compare different solution types to address a range of network needs, including voltage, stability and thermal issues. We launched our first RFI for future voltage support in March and expect to run our first tender later this year. Come along to hear more about the pathfinding projects, how to get involved and to give us your feedback to help us to help you to participate in these new markets.
