6. Project Background
Conwy Borough Council engaged the services of Uniper to investigating the potential for a community energy scheme with an objective of:
Tackle fuel poverty through delivering an innovative renewable energy project which is able to generate and distribute energy at a community level
Ability to determine own ‘price point’ based on a business model which would not rely on feed in tariffs (FiTs)
Deliver energy security through energy generated at a local level, reducing the reliance on the local network and major energy suppliers
Develop an exemplar model which is replicable and scalable for other rural communities and businesses with sustainability at its heart.
Dolwyddelan is located approximately 5 miles to the west of Betws-y-Coed, with a population around Electricity is presently supplied through the Scottish Power distribution network and the village has access to natural resource of Afon Cwm Penamnen.

7. Project Deliverables Uniper was responsible for:
Develop technical design and construct an appropriately sized renewable energy (hydro-electric and PV) generation system and smart energy storage system with power scheduling capabilities to meet the energy supply demands.
A business plan detailing the business model in respect of power purchase agreements.
Project delivery and construction management.
An asset management plan to ensure that all the infrastructure is managed properly ensuring reliability and performance for the life of the assets, whilst mitigating any risks.
Data and business intelligence from which similar projects may be borne

8. Achieving Sustainable Local Energy
The technical concept is to combine hydro generation, PV generation and a battery storage system co-ordinated to serve the power requirements of participant customers across the parish

9. Project Constraints and Challenges
There are inherent constraints for this project which need to be considered and appropriately managed:
The flow rates of the Afon Cwm Penamnen (finite energy capacity)
Development/construction controls in the Snowdonia National Park
Requirements of Natural Resource Wales
Power Purchase Agreements governance
Current distribution network connection capacity and infrastructure
Supplier choice, regulatory obligations and treatment of:
Distribution Use of System (DUoS)
Renewable Obligation (RO)

10. Technical Concept
To allow the system to deliver the power that matches the customer load, the instantaneous consumption for each property needs to be measured and communicated to the central controller.
A mesh radio concept proposed to control the energy system and simultaneously match the output to the demand.
Local Energy System:
Hydro Generator 200KW
PV Generation 80KW
Battery Storage 6MWh

11. Battery Storage Benefits
Using the battery system as the supply buffer has significant benefits for connected consumers
e.g. pricing discrepancies due to importing significant electricity due to generation capacities both daily and seasonally.
The blue line shows when the battery is operating within its capability to manage the difference between the generation and load.
The green line shows when surplus energy is being generated, i.e. a combination of hydro plus PV exceeds the expected customer demand.
The red line shows when there is an energy deficit, where energy will need to be purchased to supplement the scheme.
The battery system acts as the buffer, in effect displacing a significant amount of the energy trading that would be required with a conventional supply and generation agreement. Without the battery only 40% of demand could be locally generated.

12. Potential Benefits of the Project
Sustainable local energy production
Commercial scale demonstration of technologies and their integration
Business/industry development opportunities creating jobs and wealth in the area
Further developing the identity of Conwy, North Wales and Wales as a leader in renewable energy development
Improvements to family lives as energy poverty is tackled
Capability and capacity building in the region for renewable technologies
Transfer of skills and knowledge to commercial and Industrial applications
Increased training and education opportunities to meet the industry needs, capability and capacity building in the region
