2 Battery & Energy Storage Agenda Who we are Context Network issues Storage Projects: Industrial & Commercial Project LV Connect & Manage Solar Storage Conclusion

3 Industrial & Commercial Storage Project Western Power Distribution 7.8 Million customers over a 55,500 sq kms service area WPD network consists of 216,000 kms of overhead lines and underground cables, and 184,000 substations LV to 132kV Network ownership Network - East Midlands, West Midlands, South Wales, and South West

4 Battery & Energy Storage Context Network Issues Constrained and overloaded grid Reduction in centralised generation Rapidly increasing sale of EVs EVs are part of electrical energy systems Smart systems require control Climate change is happening New loads and load profiles on the grid Increase in distributed generation A strong future for distributed storage

5 Battery & Energy Storage A typical demand increase in EVs From the start of data collection (Q2, 2012) the cumulative Electric Vehicle (EV) data shows a sustained and dramatic growth of the EV car and van market In Q2, 2012, there were 3,000 registered EV s on the road By Q2, 2014, this had rose to over 10,000 After this time there was exponential growth The latest results Q3, 2016, shows 90,000 registered EV s

Battery & Energy Storage The future strategy for managing the grid Statement: There is an increase in demand for electric vehicles The grid can do one of three things to cope with this demand: Option

6 Battery & Energy Storage The future strategy for managing the grid Statement: There is an increase in demand for electric vehicles The grid can do one of three things to cope with this demand: Option 1: Introduce more capacity to the grid through generation and expand the networks capacity Option 2: Introduce more flexible generation in order to deal with spikes seen from chargers Option 3: Introduce local storage to greatly reduce the demand spike by using storage to deal with the ramp up of power Option 3 is the most cost effective for the network as options 1 & 2 both require the local, and eventually, the national network to be upgraded in order to handle the capacity increase / capacity potential.

14 What does this mean to a customer? Industrial & Commercial Storage Project Deliver more options for customer connections through alternative connections develop an alternative connection agreement for behind-the-meter Triad avoidance Lower future DUoS charges due to the reduced reinforcement requirements Overall reduction in power consumption due to onsite generation Access to the flexible market Through storage customers can support the local grid independently and reduce strain on the network
