Energy Autonomous Community (Isle of Wight)

能源自治社区将调查在鬼魂岛上开发虚拟电力网络和灵活性市场所带来的机会。它将创建一个以灵活性市场为核心的本地智能系统，这将使该岛能够改善其本地能源管理和使用，并推进其能源自主愿景，实现来自可再生资源的电力自给自足。随着能源革命的加快，鬼魂岛已经在经历许多预计将在全国范围内发生的电网容量问题。考虑到进一步传统加固的物理和财务障碍，该公司已确定需要一种智能电网解决方案来促进其愿景。概念和设计研究将集中在拥有约15,000户家庭的西鬼魂地区，其中包括相当大比例(20%)的燃气物业。它将调查消费者如何通过在可再生能源发电量高的时期储存(热力和电力)和使用电力，以及在生产低迷时期减少需求来智能地利用电力。这一过程被称为“负载转移”，我们将研究实现这一过程的各种方法。这包括将屋顶光伏、家用电池存储和电动汽车(EV)充电系统与加热组件集成在一起的家用系统；公共EV充电站，其电价根据当地可用发电量的不同而变化；以及连接到太阳能发电场的大型电池存储系统。这些解决方案将确保实时可再生发电的最大用电量。研究将调查灵活性如何使所有发电机可以选择向本地灵活性市场出售电力，并更直接地将本地发电与当地用户连接起来。这可能需要新的商业模式，如点对点(P2P)交易，以及一个平台，通过告知消费者有更便宜的本地电力时来管理灵活性系统。这些新模式将得到全面调查，以确保它们能够为消费者提供选择和能源安全。这一概念和设计研究将探索向低碳发电的过渡。虽然它将在鬼魂岛举行，但如果希望实现高水平的分布式发电，并希望社区成为这一代人的主要受益者，那么结果很可能在英国的任何地区都可以复制。“

"Energy Autonomous Community will investigate the opportunities arising from the development of a Virtual Power Network (VPN) and flexibility marketplace on the Isle of Wight. It will create a local smart system, with the flexibility marketplace at its heart, which will allow the Island to improve its local energy management and usage and to progress its energy autonomy vision, to be self-sufficient in electricity from renewable sources.The Isle of Wight is already experiencing many of the grid capacity issues that are expected to occur nationally as the energy revolution gathers pace. It has identified the need for a smart grid solution to facilitate its vision, given the physical and financial obstacles to further traditional reinforcement.The concept and design study will focus on the West Wight area which contains approximately 15,000 households, including a significant proportion (20%) of off-gas properties. It will investigate how consumers can utilise electricity in a smart way by storing (both thermally and electrically) and using electricity during periods of high renewable generation, and reducing demand during low production periods. This process is known as 'load shifting' and various means of achieving this will be investigated. This includes domestic systems which integrate rooftop PV, domestic battery storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging systems with the heating component; public EV charging points which have variable tariffs depending on the amount of local generation available; and large battery storage systems connected to solar farms. Together, these solutions will ensure maximum power usage of real time renewable generation.The study will investigate how flexibility can give all generators the option to sell power into the local flexibility market and connect local generation more directly with local consumers. This is likely to require new commercial models such as peer-to-peer (P2P) trading and a platform which manages the flexibility system by informing consumers when cheaper local power is available.These new models will be fully investigated to ensure that they can deliver consumer choice and energy security.This concept and design study will explore the transition to low carbon generation. Whilst it will take place on the Isle of Wight, the results are likely to be replicable in any area in the UK with a desire for high levels of distributed generation and a wish for the community to be a primary beneficiary of that generation."
