Power engineering and trials: Report on the viability of restoration from DERs
The Distributed ReStart project (formerly known as Black Start from DER) is a partnership between National Grid electricity system operator (ESO), SP Energy Networks (SPEN) and TNEI (a specialist energy consultancy) that has been awarded £10.3 million of Network Innovation Competition (NIC) funding.

Smart Network Design Methodologies: Novel Analysis Techniques at Low Voltage
TNEI's Gruffudd, Gordon and Charlotte recently wrote a smart networks design methodologies report for Northern Powergrid which has just been published and is full of novel ideas on the modelling of low voltage networks.
Ofgem international review of cost recovery issues
This report, written by TNEI and CEPA considers how other jurisdictions have addressed challenges emerging from their system of residual network charging, looking in detail at experiences in Autrailia (Queensland and Victoria), the US (California and Nevada), Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

The use of proxy measurements to determine wind farm noise compliance - what are the options and is there a need for further guidance?
TNEI presented a paper at the Institute of Acoustics' annual conference earlier this year: The use of proxy measurements to determine wind farm noise compliance - what are the options and is there a need for further guidance?
As more wind farms are built in the UK the requirement for noise compliance monitoring is increasing. Compliance monitoring is usually undertaken for one of three reasons: 1) the wind farm operator undertakes the assessment voluntarily as part post commissioning works; 2) monitoring is required to satisfy a planning condition; or, 3) monitoring is required following receipt of a complaint relating to noise.
This paper was authored by James Mackay, Moise Coulon and Jason Baldwin.
