Scalable Integrated Multi-Vector Energy Systems (SIM-VES)

SIM-VES项目的目标是开发和演示一种集成的、易于扩展的方法，用于在建筑物内提供升级的热力和电力系统，特别关注最优控制和多矢量能量存储。随着现有存量的脱碳进展，容易实现的干预措施基本上已经用尽，特别是在需要大量政府投资的社会住房存量方面。那些留在社会存量中的属性通常很难处理，或者在私人持有的存量的情况下，它们与社会存量有很大的不同，因为它们的初始能源效率作为起点要低得多。由于织物干预不太可能作为第一步措施发生，因此需要一种不同的方法来对分布在全国各地的重要建筑组合进行高影响的升级。SIM-VES通过提高家庭在考虑其净零轨迹时需要采用的最常见系统的互操作性，采用系统优先的方法进行能源升级。SIM-VES将热泵、新型长期紧凑型稳态储热、电池、光伏和控制技术整合到一个可互操作的模块化系统中，具有预测能力，可以更好地响应居住者需求、能源系统需求和成本点，以管理建筑、社区或国家层面的能源、热能和电力。SIM-VES方法旨在提供：*用户利益：在不影响舒适性的情况下，显著降低消费者的能源账单和碳排放；储存在使用点的电力和热量的安全性。*电网/网络效益：峰值需求的减少使电网碳强度显著降低，避免绿色能源弃电，减少或抵消基础设施投资。*安装好处：简化规格和安装路径，解锁大规模交付。*国家利益：通过提供可扩展的改造解决方案提供新的商业机会；潜在的显著的碳减排影响。

The aim of the SIM-VES project is to develop and demonstrate an integrated and readily scalable approach for delivering upgraded heat and power systems within buildings, with a particular focus on optimal control and multi-vector energy storage.As the existing stock decarbonisation progresses, low hanging fruit interventions have been largely exhausted, especially when it comes to the social housing stock which is subject to significant Government investment. Those properties remaining in the social stock are generally hard to treat or in the case of privately held stock, differ significantly from the social stock in that their starting energy efficiency is significantly lower as a starting point. With fabric interventions less likely to occur as a first step measure there is a need for a different approach to delivering high impact upgrade across significant portfolios of buildings dispersed across the country. SIM-VES takes a systems first approach to energy upgrade by enhancing interoperability of the most common systems households need to adopt when considering their net zero trajectory. SIM-VES aggregates and integrates heat pumps, novel long-term compact and steady state thermal storage, batteries, photovoltaics, and controls technology into an interoperable modular system with predictive capabilities to better respond to occupant demands, energy system requirements and cost points to manage energy, heat and power at building, community or national level.The SIM-VES approach aims to deliver:* User benefits: significantly lower energy bills and carbon emissions for consumers, without compromising comfort; security of power and heat stored at point of use.* Grid/Network benefits: peak demand reduction enabling significant reduction in grid carbon intensity, avoidance of green energy curtailment, and reduced or offset infrastructure investment..* Installer benefits: Simplified specification and installation pathway, unlocking delivery at scale.* National benefits: New commercial opportunities through delivery of a scalable retrofit solution for retrofit; potential for significant carbon reduction impact.
