Greater Manchester Local Energy Market

大曼彻斯特本地能源市场(LEM)项目将测试GM区域范围内的本地能源市场的可行性，该市场响应基于地点的限制和市场需求。该项目的关键驱动因素是通过以下方式启用和增加能源分配网络的灵活性：新的管理工具(包括建筑管理系统)、市场聚合器和虚拟发电厂(VPP)，以允许更高的渗透率和加速部署可再生能源(RES)和需求侧(DSR)响应机会。该项目由电力西北有限公司(ENWL)牵头，并汇集了大曼彻斯特联合管理局(GMCA)、日立欧盟、布伦特伍德和创新的中小企业上升能量。项目的主要目标是；\*确定LEM的要求，即控制和交易平台。\*确定这是否需要与其他本地控制平台集成，特别是由项目负责人ENWL运营的平台，以提供本地平衡服务和与国家传输系统的接口。\*展示LEM通过提供一个平台，在复杂和人口稠密的地区优化能源，为该地区的利益相关者带来的价值，包括国内和商业消费者、较小的可再生项目、车辆到电网项目和ENWL。

"The Greater Manchester Local Energy market (LEM) project will test the feasibility of a GM region wide local energy market which responds to \`place-based' constraints and market needs.The key driver for the project is to enable and increase the flexibility in the energy distribution network through: novel management tools (including building management systems), Market Aggregators and virtual power plants (VPP) to allow higher penetration and accelerated deployment of renewable energy sources (RES) and demand side(DSR) response opportunities.The project is led by Electricity North West Ltd (ENWL) and brings together the resources of Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Hitachi EU, Bruntwood and innovative SME Upside Energy.The projects key objectives are;\*identify the requirements for a LEM, ie control and trading platforms.\*establish if this needs to integrate with other local control platforms, particularly those operated by project lead ENWL, to provide balancing services locally and an interface to the national transmission system.\*Demonstrate the value the LEM can bring to stakeholders in the region including domestic and commercial consumers, smaller renewable projects, vehicle to grid projects and ENWL through providing a platform for energy optimisation across a complex and highly populated region."
