A model manual, an assumptions and QA log and detailed teach-in sessions of the model are required. Description: The model BEIS wishes to commission must output GB distribution network reinforcement costs associated with different peak demand (or peak distributed generation) scenarios driven by general electricity demand and different technology/intervention uptake on the demand and supply side. The model must allow the assessment of different volumes, timings, geographical spread and clustering within networks of general demand and the different types of technology/intervention uptake. It must be able to assess changes in reinforcement costs due to different solution types (conventional and non-conventional), different Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) foresight or investment strategies. In addition to the specific model requirements, BEIS requires a model manual (which should be both a technical user guide and a self-learning training guide), an assumptions and QA log and detailed teach-in sessions on the model.
