Abstract

In order to resolve the prospective demand increase and the underutilized network assets, this paper proposes a novel and collaborative business model , shared network access (SNA), for distribution network operators (DNOs). This SNA mechanism encourages the incumbent DNOs to give up their exclusive access to distribution network and lease spare capacity or back up capacity to independent parties, acting as the secondary DNOs, who have the SNA license and can offer special services for flexible demand and consumers with lower reliability. Through this scheme, flexible demand can be integrated efficiently and the efficiency of network utilization can be improved. Moreover, this paper adopts a business model approach to investigate the key aspect of leasing strategy within the proposed SNA business model. Quantification of potential benefits in different parties under SNA model also demonstrates the advantage of this model.
