Ebbs and Flows of Energy Systems (EFES)

该项目建立在能源系统可行性研究（31737-230167）的基础上，并展示了虚拟发电厂（VPP）的发展，影响和商业潜力，集成了建筑能源管理，可再生发电，电动汽车和电池存储系统。该项目将管理一系列地点的电力使用，从单一的财产到大型商业场所。建议的管理系统usesalgorithm基于预测控制，使和优化多个电动汽车和家用蓄电池作为能量存储和发电资源的积极利用。该项目将展示VPP功能，聚合不同的能源分布式能源资源，以提供更广泛的网络辅助支持服务，如调峰。这将减少电力需求水平、成本和二氧化碳排放的变化，并提高英国电网的供应安全性。储能是政府确定的推动英国未来增长的八大技术之一（DavidWilletts MP，Policy Exchange，2013）。2010年RCUK能源评论强调，能源储存的研发有可能在2030年之后产生高水平的脱碳。TSB（2012年能源供应战略）指出，能源和运输部门内与电池相关的研发是英国的优先事项，将受益于公共投资。

This project builds upon the Ebbs and Flows of Energy Systems feasibility study (31737-230167) and demonstrates thedevelopment, impact and business potential of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) integrating; building energy management,renewable electricity generation, electric vehicles and battery storage systems. The project will manage the electricity useof a range of sites, from single properties through to large commercial premises. The proposed management system usesalgorithm based predictive control to enable and optimise the active utilisation of multiple electric vehicle and domesticstorage batteries as an energy storage and generation resource. The project will demonstrate VPP functionality,aggregating the disparate energy distributed energy resources to provide wider network ancillary support services, such aspeak shaving. This will reduce variability in electricity demand levels, cost and CO2 emissions, plus improve the UK gridsecurity of supply.Energy storage is one of the eight great technologies identified by the government to propel the UK to future growth (DavidWilletts MP, Policy Exchange, 2013). The RCUK Review of Energy in 2010 highlights that R&D into energy storage has thepotential to yield high levels of decarbonisation beyond 2030. The TSB (Energy Supply Strategy, 2012) states that batteryrelated R&D within the energy and transport sectors is a UK priority that will benefit from public investment.
