It was assessed that Brakes Group’s main refrigeration plant compressors and store evaporator fans would be suitable assets to turn down during an FFR event. Brakes Group is energy intensive 24/7 across 19 sites and it was estimated that this would provide an average available load of 3 MW for the FFR Service.
On receiving a control signal the compressors and evaporator fans would be turned down within pre-agreed parameters, within 10 seconds of a grid event occurring. After 30 minutes, Endeco’s platform will release the control signal and the assets are turned up automatically following the required sequence.
