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)项目将展示电池存储、电动汽车充电和供热的实用解决方案，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限制。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，然后流向另外44个这样的地点，这些地点已经被Pivot Power获得，这将提供巨大的2.2GW电池存储能力。多达4500个快速电动汽车充电器和16亿GB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由英国制造商RedT提供的2.0兆瓦的氧化还原流动储能。Flow电池将是一种新技术的首创，它展示了一种超速驱动功能，可以在长达30分钟的时间内将铭牌上的额定功率提高一倍。所有储能将主要以商家能源交易业务模式运作，在批发市场买卖电力，并利用人居能源开发的创新算法交易方法，建立平衡机制，证明我们预期的5-10 GW电池储存商业模式在英国的投资可行性。**电动汽车充电**也将使用10兆瓦的连接容量规模化实现。将与牛津市议会合作开发创新的新商业模式，为包括公交车、出租车、垃圾车和商业车队在内的一系列当地电动车队提供充足和低成本的电力-每千瓦时低于10-20便士，从而使它们能够通过克服充电障碍和改善经济状况来加快车队的电气化。该项目还可以为停车场和高速公路服务中的私家车快速充电提供电力，那里可以为多达100个超快充电器供电。可再生能源原产地担保(Rego)计划证书将被购买，以向消费者提供关于供应商来自可再生发电的电力比例的透明度。**热解决方案**也将作为该项目的一部分开发，机器学习将优化将由Kensa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时段，最大限度地减少消费者账单，并克服当地网络限制。

"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."
