Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC)
De-risking and accelerating net-zero innovation through our partnerships
Delivering low-carbon solutions at scale is hard, especially when technologies need to perform safely and reliably across interconnected electricity, transport and heating systems. Resillion works closely with PNDC (Power Networks Demonstration Centre) at the University of Strathclyde) to help organisations test, validate and demonstrate innovations in a real-world environment.
Derisk and validate your low-carbon energy technology prior to deployment
Innovation programmes can stall when stakeholders can’t see robust, repeatable evidence that a solution will work outside the lab – or when integration risks only appear during rollout. Our partnership combines PNDC’s unique whole-energy-systems facilities and engineering expertise with Resillion’s independent assurance, test leadership and evidence-led reporting.
Whether you’re developing a new product, running a trial, or preparing for market and regulatory scrutiny, we’ll help you to move from prototype to deployment with a structured approach that supports learning, reduces rework and increases confidence.
BENEFITS
Innovate faster with lower deployment risk
Our partnership brings together independent assurance and a world-class demonstration environment, so you can innovate faster, with clearer decisions and lower deployment risk.
Faster validation cycles
Reduced integration risk
Stakeholder-ready evidence
Improved regulatory confidence
Cross-sector learning
Independent, trusted assurance
Challenge
Octopus Energy needed to prove its end-to-end Vehicle-to-Grid Power Pack (EV, bi-directional charger and software) could safely export to the UK grid and meet G99 requirements – something that can’t be evidenced credibly by testing components in isolation.
Approach
Resillion led the compliance and evidence plan and worked in close partnership with PNDC (University of Strathclyde) to bring the full V2G system into PNDC’s controlled environment for efficient test/retest cycles and robust, repeatable results.
Result
Octopus achieved G99 certification, with stakeholder-ready third-party evidence, showing how the Resillion + PNDC partnership speeds up approval and reduces deployment risk for first-of-kind net-zero solutions.
How we work together
Resillion and PNDC combine independent assurance with whole-energy-systems facilities, so you can validate performance, safety and compliance and turn trials into stakeholder confidence.
A typical engagement follows this pathway:
Design the test approach: requirements, scenarios, instrumentation and evidence plan.
Execute at PNDC: integrated system testing in a controlled, realistic environment.
Analyse and assure: repeatability checks, defects/risk findings, assurance review.
Deliver decision-grade outputs: recommendations and evidence packs to support next steps (pilot, scale, certification, investment).
Still hesitating? See what’s at stake
If you’re weighing whether close partnership matters, consider the difference between booking a test facility and working with a joined-up delivery team. Without an established PNDC partnership, programmes can lose time aligning test scope, accessing the right environments and iterating through retests. Our partnership reduces friction and produces decision-grade evidence that stands up to stakeholder scrutiny.
