英国已经制定了一项雄心勃勃的计划，以大幅削减其碳排放。为了实现2050年减排80%的目标，英国正面临着重组其能源系统的重大挑战，目前的特点是锁定集中化。然而，通过发展更加分散的能源系统，不仅基于技术，而且基于更具创新性的政治，社会和经济方法，有可能挑战这种锁定。这些独特方法的例子已经在全球许多城市成功实施，表明更加分散的能源系统可以提高碳排放量。使用多学科的框架，这项工作通过评估国际范例案例研究，批判性地评估了世界各地的几个城市分散能源系统。在半结构化访谈之后，这项工作比较和批评了四个不同的国际案例研究，以展示和对比各种分散的方法。它强调了执行这些项目所涉及的障碍和驱动因素的多样性和相互关系。尽管人们认为，法规严重影响了分散式能源项目的实施，但这些项目往往受到其他因素的推动和激励，如声誉、盈利能力和展示“我们能做到”的机会。主要的非技术性障碍不一定像人们通常认为的那样是财政障碍。治理障碍，如过时的法规或不可靠的合作伙伴，在项目的成功或失败中也起着重要作用。公众对能源消耗的冷漠和错误信息等形式的社会障碍也可能很大，这往往会影响项目的运营。
The UK has set an ambitious plan to substantially cut its carbon emissions. In order to meet this 2050 target of 80 % reduction, the UK is facing a significant challenge of restructuring its energy system, currently characterised by lock-into centralisation. There is however, potential to challenge this lock-in through the development of more decentralised energy systems—based not only on technological, but also on more innovative political, social and economic approaches. Examples of these unique approaches have already been successfully implemented in many cities worldwide, demonstrating that more decentralised energy systems can lead to enhanced carbon emissions reductions. Using a multi-disciplinary framework, this work critically assesses several urban decentralised energy systems around the world through the assessment of exemplar international case studies. Following semi-structured interviews, this work compares and critiques four diverse international case studies in order to demonstrate and contrast a variety of decentralised approaches. It emphasises the variety and inter-relationships of barriers and drivers involved in the implementation of such projects. Although it is believed that regulations heavily influence the implementation of decentralised energy projects, these projects are frequently driven and motivated by other factors such as reputation, profitability and the opportunity to show that “we can do it”. The main non-technical barriers are not necessarily financial, as is often believed. Governance barriers—such as out-of-date regulations or unreliable partners—also play an important role in the success or failure of a project. Social barriers in the form of public apathy and misinformation regarding energy consumption can also be significant, which often affects the operation on the project.
