Energy Revolution Research Consortium - Core - EnergyREV

气候变化委员会对英国实现碳预算进展的最新评估显示，英国的排放量比1990年的水平低41%。英国政府的工业战略白皮书指出，在经济增长三分之二的同时，这一目标已经实现。在实现与1990年水平相比至少减少80%的目标的过程中，委员会指出，我们必须每年至少减少3%的排放量。他们还表示，尽管取得了上述进展，但我们目前还没有走上实现2023-27年碳预算的轨道。显然，要履行我们在这方面的法定义务，还需要进一步作出重大努力和创新。与此相一致，政府的工业战略将清洁增长确定为一项重大挑战，指出“我们将在电力、供暖和运输领域开发廉价清洁能源的智能系统……我们将启动一项新的产业战略‘从能源革命中繁荣’计划，开发世界领先的本地智能能源系统，在电力、供暖和交通领域提供更便宜、更清洁的能源。”《工业战略》还指出，清洁增长方面的创新对于低成本、低碳基础设施系统以及实现实现经济效益所需的工业机会至关重要。为此，工业战略挑战基金（ISCF）启动了“能源革命带来的繁荣”（PFER）计划。它的重点是（到2022年）提供可投资和可扩展的本地商业模式，使用综合方法为更繁荣和更具弹性的社区提供更清洁，更便宜的能源服务。由此产生的智能地方能源系统也将使整个国家能源系统受益。它还计划在2020年代将对本地综合能源系统的未来投资增加10倍，同时创建现实世界的试验场，以加速新产品和服务的全面商业化。这些活动的一个主要内容是建立英国在综合能源供应方面的领导地位。为了支持PFER计划，UKRI发起了建立能源研究研究联盟（EnergyREV）的呼吁，以支持这一旅程。在伯明翰举办了一个研讨会，以形成和塑造财团，并启动该提案的发展。由此产生的EnergyREV联盟是多样化的，高度多学科的，包括88%被选中参加研讨会的研究人员。EnergyREV将与能源系统弹射器合作，在其整个生命周期内为演示和演示设计项目（由PFER计划资助）提供支持和信息；进行分析和评估，建立和推动最佳实践，并通过与政策、学术和工业界的国家和国际参与，领导知识交流。此外，EnergyREV还制定并定义了一项应用跨学科研究的战略计划，旨在在整个能源系统和智能本地能源系统领域取得重大成果。这将为公司和政府未来的能源投资提供参考。它将协调和整合现有的英国世界一流的知识、研究团队和设施，并通过它提供建议、研究和创新支持，以帮助确保PFER项目的成功。

The Committee on Climate Change's most recent assessment of the UK's progress towards meeting its carbon budgets shows that UK emissions are 41% below 1990 levels. The UK Government's Industrial Strategy white paper states that this has been achieved while the economy has grown by two thirds. In our journey to meeting a reduction of at least 80% compared to 1990 levels, the Committee states that we must reduce emissions by at least 3% a year. They also say that despite the above progress we are not currently on track to meet the 2023-27 carbon budget. Clearly, significant further effort and innovation is required to meet our statutory obligations in this area. In line with this, the Government's Industrial Strategy identifies Clean Growth as a grand challenge stating "We will develop smart systems for cheap and clean energy across power, heating and transport ... We will launch a new Industrial Strategy 'Prospering from the energy revolution' programme to develop world-leading local smart energy systems that deliver cheaper and cleaner energy across power, heating and transport". The Industrial Strategy also points out that Innovation in clean growth is critical for low cost, low carboninfrastructure systems, and for realising the industrial opportunities needed to deliver economic benefits. In response to this the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) has launched the Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) programme. It is focused on delivering (by 2022) investable and scalable local business models which use integrated approaches to deliver cleaner, cheaper, energy services for more prosperous and resilient communities. The resulting smart local energy systems should also benefit the national energy system as a whole. It also targets a ten times larger future-investment in local integrated energy systems versus business as usual in the 2020s while creating real world proving grounds to accelerate new products and services to full commercialisation. A major element of the activities is building UK leadership in integrated energy provision. To support the PFER programme, UKRI launched a call to establish the Energy Research Research Consortium (EnergyREV) to support this journey. A workshop was held in Birmingham to form and shape the consortium and to initiate the development of this proposal. The resulting EnergyREV consortium is diverse and highly multidisciplinary, incorporating 88% of the researchers who were selected for the workshop.EnergyREV will work with the Energy Systems Catapult to enable and inform demonstrators and demonstrator design projects (funded by the PFER programme) through their lifetime; undertaking analysis and evaluation, building and driving best practice and, leading knowledge exchange through national and international engagement with policy, academic and industrial communities. Further to this, EnergyREV has shaped and defined a strategic programme of applied interdisciplinary research which aims to achieve significant outputs in the areas of whole energy systems and smart local energy systems. This will inform future energy investment by companies and Government. It will coordinate and integrate existing UK world-class knowledge, research teams and facilities, and through this provide advice, research and innovation support to help ensure the success of the PFER programme.
