National Grid Control Room Thermal Modelling

Unknown

Engineers at the National Control Centre in Wokingham, part of National Grid, are tasked with balancing nationwide supply and demand every minute. This involves continuous monitoring of each circuit and real-time calculations of the grid's capacity to ensure it remains within operational limits. Since 2000, the OCC has been providing National Grid with modeling software to evaluate the capacity of essential network components. Recently, they introduced the Circuit Thermal Monitor, utilized by the National Control Centre to continually assess critical circuits, calculate their capacity, and trigger alarms when components near safety thresholds. OCC consultants collaborated with National Grid's IT and engineering teams to gather requirements and finalize the high-level design of the software, making sure it was compatible with the National Control Centre's infrastructure. Another challenge was to develop and implement this new software as part of a broader Control Centre upgrade led by General Electric, requiring close collaboration with GE teams in Shanghai and Florida to maintain alignment on implementation and project deadlines—delays were not an option. The OCC team successfully designed, developed, and tested the software that evaluates the thermal capacity of vital components, particularly transformers and cables. As a result, engineers managing the national electricity supply now have access to real-time capacity calculations for grid circuits, pinpoint hotspots, and understand the time frame to address any potential overloads.

Faster ramp rate studies for National Grid

Unknown

National Grid Gas Transmission Asset Management oversees the design, policy, and implementation of projects for the UK high-pressure pipeline (National Transmission System or NTS). If a new connection to the network results in a gas pressure increase that is either too rapid or too slow for the system to handle, it could negatively impact compressors, existing connections, and overall network safety and security. Consequently, when a National Grid customer requests a new network connection, a 'ramp rate study' may be conducted to assess whether the NTS can appropriately manage the proposed rate. Previously, National Grid took around three months to complete these studies internally, involving 1-3 analysts. Due to the labor-intensive nature of the process, only five studies could be requested per year, necessitating the outsourcing of some work. After evaluating the current systems and processes, OCC and National Grid developed a central datastore for ramp rate studies and implemented a desktop application that simplifies the definition of complex scenarios involving multiple off-take/on-take nodes. This application also connects with the systems utilized to execute scenarios, track progress, and communicate with stakeholders. In addition to streamlining scenario creation, the project automated and standardized the necessary steps for conducting a study. This improvement has enabled the department to handle 100% of ramp rate studies in-house, enhancing overall productivity and eliminating the need for costly external consultants, ultimately resulting in better service for National Grid customers.

Sport England interactive web-based tool

Unknown

In 2010, Sport England launched a major initiative to update the sports market segmentation data that categorizes various types of sports participants in England. This resulted in an extensive dataset, which Sport England chose to share publicly online to support investment and the provision of sports services and facilities. We utilized this updated data to create a sports market segmentation web tool that allows users to analyze the general population and their traits at various social and geographical levels. Users can discover the sporting preferences, lifestyle choices, and marketing inclinations of residents in different regions. A key audience for this tool is local councils, which can use it to guide their investments in community sports facilities. Sports clubs and organizations can gain insights into the demographics of their service areas, aiding them in designing marketing strategies or developing programs that cater to current and prospective participants. The website displays the findings through downloadable maps, charts, and tables, as well as overlays on Ordnance Survey maps. User feedback has been highly positive, noting that the tool is user-friendly and offers valuable insights at a local scale, making it pertinent to national organizations, local governments, and individuals engaged with clubs and communities.
