I have posted a piece here which is also on the TT topic, but is more general and I think a new thread would be better. Your voice is heard. See below.
Yes Mike, it is interesting that the diversity method seems to have been copied straight out of the Onsite Guide, and I agree that it does not really work in many instances. Primarily this is because one cannot make skilled Engineering Judgement into a simple rule, and the problem is really a chaotic one anyway meaning there is no analytic solution! I see that there is no BEAMA advice on CUs with local generation or EVC, in the provided documents. Perhaps they have some convenient rule of thumb there too?
