Liverpool Multi-vector Energy Exchange - Resilience

英国低碳能源转型的一个主要主题是消费者的崛起。在一个以消费者为中心的新能源世界中，我们不再仅仅是电力线末端的能源购买者，我们可以将能源服务“备份”，降低成本并创造新的收入。到2030年，当地发电厂（主要是太阳能和风能）将占英国发电能力的近一半，而2018年为四分之一。大部分将由一种新的能源“产消者”进行点对点交易，在当地提供一系列清洁能源服务，并向电网运营商提供。** 利物浦多矢量能源交易所 **（LMEX）将为全市范围的智能本地能源系统创建详细设计，该系统将大大促进清洁能源、电动汽车和低碳供暖和制冷。我们的设计将为一系列创新技术打开大门，包括电动汽车充电;带地源/水源/空气源热泵的供热网络;太阳能制氢以取代天然气供应和燃料电池;基于电池和REDOX的能源存储;以及一系列灵活的需求方法。LMEX包括两个关键层-都是同类第一。首先是硬件：一个 ** 智能网络控制器 **，其功能远远超出目前的市场，可以实时通信，控制和优化大量的本地能源资产。第二个是基于软件的：** 灵活性交易平台 **（FXP），通过该平台，产消者将以完全透明、自动匹配且无第三方干预的方式进行点对点交易。FXP将被嫁接到控制层，以便a）所有的买卖交易都可以兑现;和B）系统的技术限制不能被强调/违反。LMEX项目是关于 ** 商业驱动的研发 **。LMEX的发展得益于其在开发智能能源网络方面的真实记录，尽管其设想的城市规模远远超过当今能源世界的任何规模。LMEX为产消者和能源系统运营商带来切实的利益：* 新的灵活性参与者：各种规模、用户类型和技术，能够在电力、供热和制冷以及运输方面交易清洁、灵活的能源服务。*更多、更便宜、本地生产的能源，以降低消费者的账单。减少从电网的输入，以减少网络损失，避免网络加固和相关中断。更多的清洁能源，从而改善当地的空气质量，减少温室气体的排放。新的收入来源：参与者能够进入不断扩大的地方和国家能源市场，其中新的收入来源正在稳步出现。

A major theme of the UK's low-carbon energy transition is the **rise of the consumer**. No longer just energy buyers on the end of power lines, we can send energy services "back up the wire", reduce costs and generate new revenues in a new, consumer-centric energy world.In 2030, local power plants (mostly solar and wind) will comprise nearly half of UK capacity, up from a quarter in 2018\. Much will be traded peer-to-peer by a new class of energy "prosumers" offering a range of clean energy services locally, and to the grid operators.The **Liverpool Multi-vector Energy Exchange** (LMEX) will create a detailed design for a city-wide, smart local energy system that will greatly facilitate clean energy, electric vehicles, and low-carbon heating and cooling. Our design will open the door to a host of innovative technologies including EV charging; heat networks with ground / water / air source heat pumps; solar-powered hydrogen production to replace gas supply and power fuel cells; battery and REDOX based energy storage; and a host of flexible demand approaches.LMEX comprises two critical layers -- both first-of-a-kind. The first is hardware: a **Smart Network Controller** with capabilities far beyond the present market, to communicate with, control and optimise in real-time myriad local energy assets. The second is software-based: the **Flexibility Exchange Platform** (FXP), through which prosumers will trade peer-to-peer with full transparency, automatic matching, and without third-party intervention. FXP will be grafted on to the control layer so that a) all buy and sell transactions can be honoured; and b) the technical limits of the system cannot be stressed/violated.LMEX Project is about **commercially-driven R&D**. It benefits from real-world track record in developing smart energy networks, though the city-wide scale envisaged here is far greater than anything in the energy world today.LMEX is about tangible benefit to prosumers and energy system operators:* New flexibility players: all sizes, user-types and technologies able to trade clean, flexible energy services across power, heat and cool, and transport.* More, cheaper, locally produced energy for lower consumer bills.* Reduced import from the grid for reduced network losses and avoidance of network reinforcement and associated disruptions.* More clean energy, leading to improved local air quality, and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases.* New revenue streams: access for participants to a widening spread of local and national energy market segments, in which new revenues streams are emerging steadily.
