Objectives To develop a tool that will communicate the investments that National Grid is proposing on the network to external and internal users in an engaging manner. Development of a user interface tool and positive feedback received from stakeholders.
Abstract National Grid will embark on an intensive stakeholder engagement programme from April 2014 onwards related to investments, such as compressor replacement, that are required on the network over the RIIO period. Previous feedback from interaction with stakeholders has indicated that the technical information, including output from network analysis studies needs to be made more easily understandable by and appealing to non specialists. Key tasks within the scope include: Detailed design of the tool, phase 1 and 2. Database and data model development Analysis code Story board editor System Testing Although the work done to date has been very promising, it has not been possible to meet all of the requirements set out in phases 1 and 2 above within the original tight timescales and budget. In order to make best use of the extended time requested, the project team has captured valuable feedback and learnings from stakeholder tool workshops held in August and September 2014, in order to further refine the tool requirements and provide clear deliverables and dates. Further work will therefore be undertaken to build upon the successful outputs achieved during the first two phases of this project.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above
