Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has unveiled its Electric Vehicle Strategy.
The document sets out the principles it will apply to support decarbonisation of transport, with the DNO committing to invest in its network infrastructure to support 10 million EVs on Great Britain’s roads by 2030.
The five key principles for facilitating EV uptake and ensuring it is ‘EV Ready’ outlined in the strategy are:
Using data and analytics to anticipate issues, support decision making and make sure SSEN’s networks are ready for EV uptake.Making a suite of tools available to support widespread EV uptake.Using Local Development Plans to inform and establish strategic investment programmes.Using innovation, digitalisation, new skill sets and operational capabilities to meet the forecast growth.Supporting stakeholder and customer ambitions to decarbonise.
Actions to accomplish its first principle include building a full connectivity model, collation, automation and visualisation, detailed forecasting and the rollout of substation monitoring.
It also highlighted the role of data sharing, citing not being notified of EV chargepoint installations as a challenge, as well as determining current and future constraints, giving decisions in real-time and power flow analysis.
For its second principle, SSEN said it will utilise tools from its innovation projects such as Project LEO and Optimise Prime,as well as using markets to carry out smart charging and to understand how increasing EV uptake and tourist patterns will impact seasonal peak demand.
It also lauded the work done on its suite of flexible solutions, such as Active Network Management to alleviate constraints and help with connections.
Investing strategically, in addition to strategic partnerships and combining asset health with EV forecasts form the basis of its third principle.
It is looking to create a local network function in its control rooms as part of its fourth principle, improving its IT/OT systems and use. SSEN will also establish appropriate resources to deal with the impacts of increased EV uptake on queries, quotations and site visits, as well as electrifying its own fleet of vehicles.
The DNO has already committed to this transition through the EV100 scheme, however it will look to mitigate risks of dealing with outages through having hybrid/hydrogen contingencies, for example.
It will also be necessary, it said, to prioritise the needs of customers who become vulnerable when their ability to charge their EV is hampered in storm or outage scenarios.
Lastly, SSEN will look to provide heat maps that specifically highlight the location and available capacity of any network to give visibility to charging, as part of its fifth principle. It also pointed to its RESOP project, providing Local Authorities with a whole system modelling service.
“The next decade will see widespread and permanent change in how we all travel and, as a network operator, SSE
Mad titan "sorry, no way this dude is for real! I mean, calling the sales guy jesus?"
If he doesn't sell units, he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy ))
surley this RF1980 dude has got to be a joke, to lighten the atmosphere :-). sorry, no way this dude is for real! I mean, calling the sales guy jesus? Hoooookaaay!
So with the churches closed I suppose Jesus has to keep himself busy. Pleased he’s involved in AFC - often feels like we need divine intervention.
Rf i think you'll find most of us are invested, some for quite some time and with large amounts of cash.
Self isolation getting to you ?
Still a buy from me chirpy lets get invested. Jesus has this rapped up, you'll be getting an afc pump on the moon. Ive been climbing all over his profile. Adam and jesus are big hitters and i’m probably going all in
See another keyboard warrior has signed up....
How would i not guess what he or anyone else is up to at AFC they would be deep on supermarkets otherwise that would be FOOLISH as you would say then you would expand your units into carparks and then shell if they have a job to do look im in now for the long haul. This company is going to rip the market apart. There is just a load of shorters on here trying to buy cheap END off.
RF1980 - why on earth are you being so rude ? We're supporters of AFC as much as you are. Making wild guesses as to whom our products will be aimed at is totally futile and makes yourself look a bit foolish. You have absolutely no idea where Tom Pollard is focusing on and neither do the rest of us. At least turn your posts into a conversation !
I have 0 interest in what you say now we have pollard (jesus) at the helm driving units into every supermarket across the globe. I reckon he has Walmart in his finger tips.
who is whining RF1980 - who are you referring to?
You whine like a muel! We have AB and a major sales player, with roman absolutely deep on this when everyone is watching the oil price. You need to rethink where is the world heading. Its not going to be pumped out of the earths crust its coming directly from the atmosphere
Hi RF1980 - I think/hope that after all this is over, Government and industries take a long hard look at this situation and capitalise on the need for major change to:
1) Healthcare - preparedness for future pandemics and ensuring we have the resources in place to act swiflty - people and technology
2) Social care - ensuring we able to manage the vulnerable in our society - sufficient care staff in place and medical research to help our aging citizens - this will be you and I one day
3) Environment - we will witness an incredible drop in harmful gases in our atmosphere in the upcoming weeks - we need to capitalise on this position and ensure we can drastically reduce emissions at a scale not even comprehended just a matter of weeks ago. We have the brains, we have the technology both of which can come together to roll out at unprecedented speed. All we need is the political will to make it happen and the will of multi-nations. Not only will this result in a cleaner planet but the new jobs that will be created on the back of such initiatives will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Pie in the sky ? ..... from what I've seen of this country in the past 2 weeks, absolutely anything IS possible.
Well it's nice to see Tom Pollard has changed his linked in profile to reflect that he works for AFC Energy.
Its going to be a good result. Lots of sectors will win and clean energy will 100% in there. We have no choice. Major retailers are doing well now shifting more andrex than can be printed. I reckon this new guy (jesus) will go supermarkets first. I’d do that! Wholesale! Glad the originals still on here.
Fuelcell posts on here now and again, also ITM and Ceres I think I remember seeing
Nice to hear some optimism from someone for a change instead of Covid doom and gloom, this is going to 10p, AB is useless etc etc
I think when we get to the other side of this crisis, which will be soon, they will release good news, pointless when the markets are so volatile
I’ve traded this company many times since it was tipped
In 2010 but now its ready to launch itself into the stratosphere. That new sales guy sounds like Jesus in AFC trousers, time to get fuelled up by AFC energy. Is fuel cell still on here, I remember his posts well and banana-man. Lets stick these tanks in every location across the country.
