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年起提供60兆瓦的容量，用于广泛的应用，释放私人投资的潜力，然后流向Pivot Power在英国各地已经获得的另外44个这样的站点，这些站点将提供巨大的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。储能系统 ** 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系统，由英国制造商redT提供。液流电池将是一种新技术的第一个，展示了一种“充电”功能，可以使额定功率增加一倍，持续时间长达30分钟。所有储能将主要采用商业能源交易商业模式，在批发市场购买和销售电力，并通过Habitat Energy开发的创新算法交易方法实现平衡机制，证明我们预计将在英国建立5-10 GW电池储能商业模式的可投资性。电动汽车充电 ** 也将使用10兆瓦的连接容量实现规模化。将与牛津市理事会合作开发创新的新商业模式，为包括公共汽车、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-每千瓦时不到10-20便士，从而使他们能够通过克服充电障碍和改善经济状况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处的私人车辆快速充电提供电力，其中可以为多达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，以向消费者提供有关供应商从可再生能源发电中获得的电力比例的透明度。作为该项目的一部分，还将开发供热解决方案 **，机器学习将优化Kensa安装的57台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."
