The Near Real-time Data Access project was a small-scale demonstration project which made real-time data available to stakeholders. The original NeRDA project focused on the Oxford and Green Recovery areas, the NeRDA 2 project will make real-time network data available across the entirety of the SSEN network. In addition, NeRDA 2 will make connectivity and load model data available alongside near real-time monitoring data to provide stakeholders with enhanced visibility of our network utilisation to allow them to make better informed decisions.
Benefits
At a high level we expect the benefits for consumers will be;
• Reduced costs for households (such as bills, appliance maintenance, etc.)
• Improved exchange of information between DNOs and customers
• Improve the DNOs understanding of customers' needs and the ability to address these
• The NeRDA project will not adversely impact or exclude consumers in vulnerable situations, the benefits will be applicable to all consumers.
