LEMDEx - Local Energy Market in Devon and Exeter

“英国政府希望鼓励当地的能源项目，认识到更广泛的社区参与的好处。许多英国能源用户，包括该项目的合作者，希望更好地进入能源市场。这些组织包括社区能源团体、工业和商业能源消费者、分布式发电机、当地能源资产投资者和产消者家庭。目前集中的英国能源系统和单一的能源供应商模式是不提供的参与机会，许多这些组织和individualsdesires.We建议，本地能源市场（LEM）的方法的基础上点对点（P2P）能源交易将提供更多的机会，为当地的参与和更好地利用当地的能源资产。这种方法也有可能为网络和系统管理提供更公平、更可扩展的方法。Swanbarton已经为此开发了一个技术平台，并进行了一些令人鼓舞的技术试验。使用LEM方法更好地管理分布式能源资产，将有助于将温室气体减少到第五个碳预算以下。LEMDEX项目将研究部署本地能源市场的商业要求，包括对监管变化的任何依赖，并设计解决方案。该项目还将设计适当的支持系统，如计费集成和整体商业模式。Swanbarton Limited将领导LEMDEX项目，并与德文郡郡理事会，埃克塞特市理事会，埃克塞特大学和埃克塞特社区能源合作。LEMDEX项目的目标是设计一个系统，使当地能源市场能够在2020年在埃克塞特和德文郡进行试点。"

"The UK government wants to encourage local energy projects, recognising the benefits of wider community engagement. Many UK energy users, including the collaborators in this project, want better access to the energy market. These include organisations such as community energy groups, industrial and commercial energy consumers, distributed generators, local investors in energy assets and prosumer households. The current centralised UK energy system and the single energy supplier model is not providing the engagement opportunities that many of these organisations and individuals desire.We propose that a Local Energy Market (LEM) approach based on peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading would provide greater opportunities for local engagement and better use of local energy assets. This approach also has potential to deliver a fairer and more scalable approach for network and system management. Swanbarton has already developed a technology platform for this purpose and run some encouraging technology trials.Better management of distributed energy assets, using a LEM approach, will help to reduce greenhouse gases below the 5th carbon budget.The LEMDEx project will study the commercial requirements for deploying a Local Energy Market, including any dependencies on regulatory change, and design a solution. The project will also design appropriate supporting systems, such as billing integration, and the overall business model.Swanbarton Limited will lead the LEMDEx project and work in collaboration with Devon County Council, Exeter City Council, the University of Exeter and Exeter Community Energy.The objective of the LEMDEx project is to design a system that would allow Local Energy Markets to be piloted in Exeter and Devon in 2020\."
