Energy storage is currently receiving great attention from policy-makers, industry as well as researchinstitutions, as it is considered one of eight great technologies for the future of energy. Combining electricityand heat for minimising cost and emissions in future networks is an emerging research field. Sussex researchershave tested the use of advanced systems to optimise use of electricity and heat, but energy storage was notpart of that system. Building on combined electricity and heat, a storage-enabled system groups together thecapacity of electrical and thermal energy systems as one large flexible “power plant” for balancing demand andsupply in a cost-efficient way. This project will focus on energy storage for electricity and heat, with thepossibility of adding more in future research. The challenges this project will address are: (i) feasibilityassessment of the proposed storage control techniques through realistic simulations, (ii) deriving functionalrequirements / specifications of storage controller software & hardware, (iii) testing the feasibility of lab-basedstorage control implementations.

储能技术目前受到政策制定者、工业界和研究机构的高度关注，被认为是未来能源的八大技术之一。结合电力和热量以最小化未来网络的成本和排放是一个新兴的研究领域。苏塞克斯大学的研究人员已经测试了使用先进的系统来优化电力和热量的使用，但能量存储不是该系统的一部分。在电力和热能结合的基础上，储能系统将电力和热能系统的能力组合在一起，作为一个大型灵活的“发电厂”，以经济高效的方式平衡需求和供应。该项目将专注于电力和热能的储能，并有可能在未来的研究中增加更多。该项目将解决的挑战是：（i）通过逼真的模拟对拟议的存储控制技术进行可行性评估，（ii）导出存储控制器软件和硬件的功能要求/规格，（iii）测试基于实验室的存储控制实现的可行性。
