Energy Superhub Oxford: Unlocking scalable solutions for EV charging, battery storage and heat through transmission connection and machine learning

“能源超级枢纽牛津（ESO）项目将通过应用创新的机器学习方法和直接连接到输电变电站来缓解或绕过配电网络的限制，展示电池存储、电动汽车充电和供热的实用解决方案。我们的东牛津输电连接点从2019年起为广泛的应用提供60兆瓦的容量，释放了私人投资的潜力，然后流向Pivot Power在英国已经获得的另外44个这样的站点，这些站点将提供2.2吉瓦的电池存储，多达4500个快速电动汽车充电器和16亿英镑的私人投资。储能将安装在国家电网输电变电站附近，包括50.0兆瓦的锂离子技术和2.0兆瓦的氧化还原流储能，由英国制造商redT提供。液流电池将是第一个新型技术，展示了一种“超速”功能，可以将铭牌额定功率提高一倍，持续时间长达30分钟。所有的能源存储将主要以商业能源交易商业模式运作，在批发市场买卖电力，并通过Habitat energy开发的创新算法交易方法平衡机制，证明我们预计在英国将有5-10吉瓦的电池存储商业模式的可投资性。**电动汽车充电**也将大规模启用，使用10兆瓦的连接容量。创新的新商业模式将与牛津市议会合作开发，提供丰富和低成本的电力——每千瓦时低于10-20便士——给当地的电动车队，包括公共汽车、出租车、除尘车和商业车队，反过来使他们能够通过克服充电障碍和提高经济效益来加速车队的电气化。该项目还可以为停车场和高速公路服务站的私家车快速充电提供电力，在那里可以为多达100个超快速充电器供电。将购买可再生能源原产地保证（REGO）计划证书，向消费者提供供应商来自可再生能源发电的电力比例的透明度。**热解决方案**也将作为项目的一部分开发，机器学习优化肯萨将安装的57个共享环路地源热泵的运行，证明有能力将需求转移到低价格时期，最大限度地减少消费者账单，并克服当地网络的限制。”

"The Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO) project will demonstrate practical solutions to battery storage, EV charging and heat, by applying innovative machine learning approaches and direct connection to a transmission substation to alleviate or bypass distribution network constraints.Our East Oxford transmission connection point offers 60 MW of capacity from 2019 for a broad range of applications, unlocking the potential for private investment to then flow to a further 44 such sites already secured across the UK by Pivot Power that would deliver a vast 2.2 GW of battery storage, up to 4500 rapid EV chargers and £1.6bn of private investment.**Energy storage** will be installed adjacent to the National Grid transmission substation comprising 50.0 MW of lithium ion technology, and 2.0 MW of redox flow energy storage supplied by UK-based manufacturer redT. The flow battery will be the first of a new class of technology, demonstrating an 'overdrive' function that can double nameplate power rating for up to 30 minutes. All energy storage will operate primarily a merchant energy trading business model, buying and selling power in the wholesale market and balancing mechanism with an innovative algorithmic trading approach developed by Habitat Energy, proving out the investability of what we expect will be a 5-10 GW battery storage business model in the UK.**Electric vehicle charging** will also be enabled at scale using 10 MW of connection capacity. Innovative new commercial models will be developed in cooperation with the Oxford City Council, offering abundant and lower-cost power - sub 10-20 pence per kWh - to a range of local electric fleets including buses, taxis, dust carts and commercial fleets, in turn enabling them to accelerate the electrification of their fleets by overcoming obstacles to charging and improving the economic case. The project can also deliver power for rapid charging of private vehicles at car parks and motorway services, where as many as 100 ultra-rapid chargers can be powered. Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) scheme certificates will be bought to provide transparency to consumers about the proportion of electricity that suppliers source from renewable generation.**Heat solutions** will also be developed as part of the project, with machine learning optimising the operation of 57 shared loop ground source heat pumps to be installed by Kensa, proving out the ability to shift demand to periods of low prices, minimising consumer bills and overcoming local network constraints."
