Modern infrastructure for new housing (MINH)

该项目探讨了将最新的分布式能源基础设施纳入英国新住宅开发的商业可行性。它将探讨三种情况：A。一个全电动的发展B。基于热电联产（CHP）的区域供热方案的发展。一个开发项目，每个家庭都可以选择连接到新的本地智能基础设施或使用传统的天然气和电网。这些方案将使用最新的网络管理，存储和需求响应技术进行开发，并根据现有配电网络的技术要求和限制，以及房屋发展商的商业要求和地方当局。该项目将使用沃里克郡一个真实的计划开发的3000套新住宅作为案例研究和潜在的试点。

This project explores the commercial feasibility of incorporating the latest distributed energy infrastructure in new housing developments across the UK. It will explore three scenarios:A. An all electric developmentB. A development based around a district heating scheme with combined heat and power (CHP)C. A development where every house has choice between connecting to the new local smart infrastructure or using the traditional gas and electricity grids.These scenarios wil be developed using the latest technologies for network management, storage and demand response, and tested against the technical requirements and constraints of the existing distribution network as well as the commercial requirements of housing developers and the political and planning constraints of a local authority. The project will use a real planned development of 3000 new homes in Warwickshire as a case study and potential pilot.
