38 BUILDING SERVICES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER APRIL 2016 ‘ The switch to HH
settlement is a great opportunity for businesses to take control of their energy use as we believe it will act as a spur to help lower energy consumption overall.
’
SMEs in the UK are often the hardest hit when it comes to compliance and conforming to new legislation, particularly in the energy management arena. Lisa Gingell, Director from t‐mac Technologies, explains why P272 legislation is likely to have the biggest impact on small business in 2016.
272 legislation was due to take hold on April 1st, 2016. It is an amendment that has been proposed to the balancing and settlement code (which defines the rules of the balancing of electricity in the UK). This amendment will result in the requirement for Half Hourly (HH) settlement of all meters in the profile classes 05-08. Aimed at businesses currently operating under the Maximum Demand (MD) metering system and their transition to an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system. From 1 April 2016 energy suppliers must change the way in which they settle these sites which means that energy bills will be based on what a business actually uses at different times of the day and will reflect the costs associated with supplying power to the business at that time. The switch to HH settlement is a great opportunity for businesses to take control of their energy use as we believe it will act as a spur to help lower energy consumption overall.
But how do businesses take control?
We advise that by adopting smart load-shedding and shifting practices, along with the installation of controls coupled with behaviour changes, P272 can work for SMEs. Here’s our guide to load shedding in 2016 for maximum effect…. 1. TNUoS/DUoS: Peak prices are driven by charges for the transmission and distribution networks that deliver electricity from generators to wherever it is consumed. Businesses need to reduce peak consumption, which will allow them to save on capacity charges.
2. Switching off: Load shedding could simply be switching off a piece of HVAC equipment during peak periods and switching it back on afterwards. But doing this would affect the building performance and comfort levels. By controlling the HVAC equipment in a more sophisticated way, such as pre-cooling a building, the electrical load can be shifted effectively without disrupting comfort levels.
3. t-mac: t-mac BeMS allows for the implementation of load shedding/shifting activities thereby reducing costs at the high-peak times and helps accommodate reduced load/demand.
4. Control strategy: t-mac has a DUoS control strategy integrated into its set-up, allowing for load shedding or shifting activities to take place around the DUoS time bands. This achieves greater energy cost savings for customers whilst maintaining a watchful eye on the internal conditions to ensure business functions are not affected.
5. Warnings: The t-mac system incorporates a direct feed from Utlitywise (our parent company) energy markets team to allow the devices to receive warnings and in turn, quickly implement pre-agreed load-shedding activities, thereby reducing costs without affecting business operations.
6. Savings: By implementing load shedding over the winter and reducing TRIAD charges, many clients are expected to save around £150K with the t-mac BeMS control strategy and up to 20% off their energy bills.
7. Demand response ready: Management of consumption in DUoS and TRIAD times is a key component in using BeMS to benefit from the P272 changes to 05-08 meters. An ability to receive and respond to a TRIAD warning and communicate to multiple sites in a matter of minutes means that t-mac BeMS customers can make their business estate demand response ready. t-mac and the energy markets team at Utilitywise are proactively working with building owners and occupiers to highlight the benefits of load shedding and shifting whilst at the same time offering a simple and cost effective solution to put these plans into place through the installation of the t-mac BeMS.
