Loss of electricity, gas, or both occur across the UK due to a variety of reasons, ranging from natural causes, human error, and system overloads. Most outages do not last very long (ending in seconds to minutes), however, there are instances where network outages can last for extended periods of time (days to weeks). Though inconvenient for all consumers, the severity of impact can differ from each household, particularly where vulnerable individuals or persons requiring support from healthcare equipment are affected. During extended outages, local communities look to alleviate the impact by providing independent systems to provide heat or electricity output.
Expected Benefits
The financial benefits which would directly accrue to the GB Gas Transportation System and/or electricity transmission or distribution.
Feasibility Study – production of a series of reports to assess need, impact, cost, and carbon footprint of proposed technology based on the modification of existing LIND Ltd technologies. These reports will provide information to the steering committee in their go/ no go decision.
Prototype Delivery – In house modifications to be developed and installed. Simulated operating and system efficiencies to be conducted. Proposal and production figures to be derived for steering committee to assess.
