Registration of Systems Connection Points

Guidance Note

Registration of Systems Connection Points

A circuit at a Systems Connection Point must not be physically energised until Elexon has issued an approval to energise it.This approval will be issued once all Settlement requirements have been completed and verified.

This note draws together, as flow diagrams, the requirements set out in various BSCPs for the registration of Systems Connection Points. It also contains checklists of the Licensed Distribution System Operator’s (LDSO) requirements for each type of Systems Connection Point.

What is a Systems Connections Point?

A Systems Connection Point is a point of connection between two or more Systems excluding points of connection between Distribution Systems in the same GSP Group or a point of connection between Offshore Transmission System User Assets and the Transmission System. There are three types of Systems Connection Points:

    • Grid Supply Points (GSPs) – these are points of connection between the Transmission System and a Distribution System of an LDSO. The LDSO is the Registrant of the Metering System for these sites

    • Offshore Transmission Connection Point (OTCP) – these are a GSP where the Systems Connection Point is between a Distribution System and an Offshore Transmission System. At an OTCP the National Electricity Transmission System Operator (NETSO) is the Registrant of the Metering System as opposed to the LDSO

    • Distribution Systems Connection Points (DSCPs) – these are points of connection between two Distribution Systems. The two LDSOs involved determine which will be the Registrant of the Metering System for these sites

Grid Supply Points and Distribution Systems Connection Points are shown diagrammatically below.

The BSC requirements for the registration of Systems Connection Points are covered in the following Code Subsidiary Documents:

    • BSCP25: Registration of Transmission System Boundary Points, Grid Supply Points, GSP Groups and Distribution Systems Connection Points

      • To register the Systems Connection Point in Settlements

      • Alternatively, this information can be completed via the Self-Service Gateway (Elexon Kinnect Customer Solution).

    • BSCP20: Registration of Metering systems for Central Volume Allocation

      • To register the Metering System and Meter Technical Details (MTDs) in Settlements

    • BSCP75: Registration of Meter Aggregation Rules for Volume Allocation Units

      • To register the Aggregation Rules for the Systems Connection Point and GSP Group in Settlements

    • Code of Practice 4 (CoP4): The Calibration, Testing and Commissioning Requirements of Metering Equipment for Settlement Purposes

      • Details the commissioning requirements for the Meters associated with the Systems Connection Point

      • Where the NETSO or the LDSO owns the measurement transformers then they are responsible for the commissioning of these and passing commissioning information to the MOA. Where measurement transformers are not owned by a BSC Party, the MOA is responsible for the commissioning of all the Metering Equipment.

    • BSCP02: Proving Test Requirements for Central Volume Allocation Metering systems

      • Details the requirements for a Proving Test for the Meters associated with the Systems Connection Point

    • BSCP128: Production, Submission, Audit and Approval of Line Loss Factors

      • Details the requirements around Line Loss Factors (LLFs) for DSCPs

    • BSCP32: Metering Dispensations

      • The Metering Equipment measuring energy flows at a Systems Connection Point should comply with the Code of Practice applicable for the size of that circuit. This BSCP sets out the process for applying for a Metering Dispensation should any aspect of the Metering Equipment, or the location of the measurement transformers, not meet the requirements in the applicable Code of Practice. If required, a Metering Dispensation should be sought as soon as possible as it may not be granted or may be granted on a time limited basis to allow for compliant Metering Equipment to be installed before an agreed date.

The flow diagrams and checklists below are split into the registration of a new GSP or DSCP and the registration of a new circuit at a GSP or DSCP. OTCPs are not explicitly covered in this guidance note.

Systems Connection Point Metering not at Defined Metering Point

As noted above, there are Grid Supply Points where for economic reasons the NETSO and the LDSO have determined that the Settlement Metering System is not at the Systems Connection Point.

For example, for a Shared GSP11 with 8 circuits to LDSO A and 2 circuits to LDSO B, and the GSP busbar being a Transmission asset, the Systems Connection Point will be the individual circuits, and Code of Practice will require that those circuits are individually metered. It is common practice for such sites to be metered at the SGTs, and (under Dispensation where compensation needs to be applied to the Meters) for such metering to determine the Metered Volume for LDSO A with the circuits for LDSO B being registered as a DSCP and appropriately metered.

In such circumstances, additional or replacement SGT circuits are not required to be formally registered as Systems Connection Point circuits but do have the potential to affect Settlement as changes to their Metering System and Aggregation Rules need to be registered and validated. It is therefore intended that such changes are managed as per the process above, and energisation is subject to the approval process.

Changes to Metering Equipment at Systems Connection Points

If the MOA changes the Metering Equipment at a Systems Connection Point, the Meter Technical Details should be submitted by the MOA to the CDCA in accordance with BSCP20 and Commissioning (CoP4) and Proving should be carried out by the MOA in accordance with BSCP0217 . It is expected that any new Metering Equipment will use the same Metering Subsystem Identifiers as the existing Metering Equipment, however if this is not the case, the Aggregation Rules for the Systems Connection Point will need to be updated by the LDSO to reflect any changes to the Metering Subsystem Identifiers.

1 Commissioning Programme Commencement Date (CPCD) as defined in the Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC) in relation to a particular User in the Construction Agreement

2 The Systems Connection Point Metering Equipment should be as defined in Code of Practice. For economic reasons, at Shared GSPs (where there are two or more Distribution Systems connecting to the Transmission System at the same busbar, see below) the Metering Equipment may still be on the Supergrid Transformers - such arrangement may require a Metering Dispensation.

3 The Metering Dispensation form requires an MSID. If this is not known at this stage, TBC can be included on the form and updated when known. Or an MSID can be reserved by contacting the CRA and registered at a later stage.

4 This form appoints the MOA, however the MOA may object to the appointment if they don’t believe that they are the MOA for the Metering System

5 Normally this step is completed by the MOA

6 Guidance on writing Aggregation Rules can be found in the Aggregation Rules’ Guidance

7 GSP Group Metered Volume is the algebraic sum of: the Active Energy flowing into Grid Supply Points connected to the GSP Group and at DSCPs connected to that GSP Group, and the quantity of Active Energy flowing out of a GSP Group at Grid Supply Points connected to the GSP Group and at DSCPs connected to the GSP Group only.

8 Note that these steps are often not completed as the CDCA writes the GSP Group Take Aggregation Rules from its own knowledge of the GSP Group

9 GSP Group Take (GSPGT) is determined as GSPGT = GSP Group Metered Volume + I – E

where: I means the magnitude of the quantities of Imports at CVA Boundary Points in that GSP Group (as at the Transmission Boundary) and, E means the magnitude of the quantities of Exports at CVA Boundary Points in that GSP Group (as at the Transmission Boundary).

10Section K1.4.3 requires Elexon to issue the approval to energise notice when all registration requirements are complete. BSCP25 requires the CRA to inform the NETSO and the LDSO not to energise the circuits if the registration is not complete. In practise Elexon issues withhold energisation instructions.

11 A Shared GSP is defined in BSCP25 as a Systems Connection Point at which the Transmission System is connected to two or more Distribution Systems

12 BSCP75 convention for a DSCP is export is from the Registrant’s GSP Group and import is to the Registrant’s GSP Group

13 If necessary, both LDSOs will need to discuss and agree the Line Loss Factor Value but this must be submitted by the LDSO who is Registrant of the Metering System.

14 Alternatively, this information can be completed via the Self-Service Gateway (Elexon Kinnect Customer Solution).

15 BSCP75 convention for a DSCP is export is from the Registrant’s GSP Group and import is to the Registrant’s GSP Group

16 If necessary, both LDSOs will need to discuss and agree the Line Loss Factor Value but this must be submitted by the LDSO who is Registrant of the Metering System.

17 In cases where the measurement transformers were installed by the LDSO on or after 6 November 2014, the MOA will request the Commissioning record from the LDSO if they need to re-commission Metering Equipment following material change. Where the measurement transformers were installed before 6 November 2014 the MOA at the time of the original install should hold the measurement transformers commissioning records.
