  1. Volumetrics Nexus Workgroup January 2016

  2. Action • Action 1202: Volumetrics - Xoserve to consider the peaks [within the DECC roll out curve] and demonstrate in real terms what this may look like across the month. • Assess potential peak day meter reading volumes considering the available Smart Roll Out Figures • In order to do so, need to define: • Smart Roll Out – baseline figures • Peak Volumes • This will depend upon behaviours which have to be tested

  4. Smart Roll Out – interpretation • What this looks like for gas meters:

  5. Assumptions • The following assumptions were used to get to this position: • Profile assumed in the following way: Note: actuals recorded at Sept 15 < stated for June 2015

  6. Peak Reading Volumes against Smart Roll Out • Key factors to consider: • Product utilisation • Profile of submission

  7. Process Specific Assumptions • Class take-up • To help in developing the requirement, and therefore the assumed Class take-up volumes, the overall meter point count was split into 3 groupings based on their AQ band: • AQ Group 1: DM Mandatory • AQ Group 2: Meter Points with an AQ greater than 732,000 kWh and less than 58,600,000 kWh • AQ Group 3: Meter Points with an AQ less than 732,000 kWh • Assumed that, with the exception of Class 1, Class utilisationprofile will fluctuate and will not remain static • For Go Live assumed that the majority (around 75%) of smart meter sites in AQ Group 3 will remain in Class 4 with a small take-up in Class 2 & 3 • Take-up of Class 3 for AQ Group 3 meter points as smart meters are installed • All dumb meter sites will remain in Class 4, quarterly read 15_07

  8. Process Specific Assumptions • Meter Read submissions • Daily reads for Class 1 & 2 meter points • For planning its been assumed that all Class 3 reads will be submitted on a monthly basis with 30 reads per batch • Class 3 reads will be submitted over a 5 day period to allow for the batch of readings to be submitted within the defined timescales • Class 4 reads from smart meters will be submitted monthly • Provision made for the submission of a weekly read • Class 4 reads from dumb meters will be submitted quarterly • Class 4 reads will be submitted over a 20 day period, not smoothed across the whole month, allowing for a higher average daily volume 15_07

  9. Process Specific Assumptions • Meter Read submissions • Daily reads for Class 1 & 2 meter points • For planning its been assumed that all Class 3 reads will be submitted on a monthly basis with 30 reads per batch • Class 3 reads will be submitted over a 5 day period to allow for the batch of readings to be submitted within the defined timescales • Class 4 reads from smart meters will be submitted monthly • Provision made for the submission of a weekly read • Class 4 reads from dumb meters will be submitted quarterly • Class 4 reads will be submitted over a 20 day period, not smoothed across the whole month, allowing for a higher average daily volume 15_07

  10. Planned Approach • Action 1202: Volumetrics – Xoserve to compare the baseline position and what timescales would be required to advance this.

  11. Planned Approach • Propose to provide assumed volumetrics • Maximum Design Volumes • Assumed volumes against which UK Link has been designed • Expected Usage Volumes • Peak transaction rates for key input transactions 15_10

  12. Why? • Figures will provide: • The above are necessary to ensure that Users of the system understand capacity • Better sense of capacity ownership within User / Transporter community • What Users can do to maximise existing volumes? • Volumes are susceptible to fluctuation as a result of User decisions • E.g. and particularly ‘Class’ products • Ability to amend where the future is not perfect • Smart Roll Out • Others??? • Assists in defining a process for one off breaches • E.g. mass updates of specific flows 15_10

  13. How do we keep ahead of the curve? • Will require an industry process to assess this • Envisaged in UK Link Manual • Users will be required to provide forecast of usage of UK Link • 12 month forecast required at 6 monthly intervals • UK Link Committee – mandated responses from portfolio shippers greater than [100,000] meter points / assume roll forward? 15_10
