There is no doubt that renewable generation and other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are seen as one of the main ways to realize sustainable energy systems (Hu et al., 2021), as well as help provide energy to remote, off-grid, communities. Over time, these can be integrated to support each other and form the wider community distribution energy networks, while becoming integrated or helping build more complex interconnected energy systems. Typically, electricity markets are seen as a way forward to enable novel technical solutions, and market designs at both transmission and distribution/local levels need to evolve as the energy systems shift towards the low carbon technologies. Given the variability nature associated with these resources, provision of flexibility services that can help with balancing variability of renewable generation and support secure system operation, while lowering costs associated with integration and connections of these technologies, are becoming crucial. This increases as the solar and wind resources continue to grow in importance and numbers. In addition, zero marginal cost associated with these resources, as well as their inter-temporal operational technical constraints, may pose serious challenges for conventional electricity market designs in the future electricity systems, and significant work has been carried out to understand and develop adequate mechanisms to enable participation of DERs in such markets. This includes utilization of different market designs and concepts such as Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) management of flexibility services provided by various DERs. As such, this research study will evaluate the Novel Design and Analysis of Electricity Markets and Flexibility Ancillary Services in Low Carbon Energy Systems.The proposed project is largely motivated by the need to enable and facilitate provision of fallibility services that can help with balancing variability of renewable generation and support secure system operation while lowering costs associated with integration and connections of these technologies. In addition, the solutions also need to provide revenue opportunities to investors in novel technologies, as well as various political jurisdictions committed to deeply decarbonize energy systems in order to mitigate against the potential risks associated with the climate change. For such decarbonized energy systems, significant portion of the energy needs will be supplied by the DERs. Moreover, the project will seek to investigate how such bottom-up approach, seeking to support electrification in rural areas in developing countries such as Kenya, can help develop and improving power systems with weak networks and enable gradual integration of off-grid community systems.

毫无疑问，可再生能源发电和其他分布式能源（DER）被视为实现可持续能源系统的主要方式之一（Hu等人，2021年），并帮助为偏远的离网社区提供能源。随着时间的推移，这些可以整合，相互支持，形成更广泛的社区配电能源网络，同时成为一体或帮助建立更复杂的互联能源系统。通常，电力市场被视为实现新的技术解决方案的一条前进道路，随着能源系统向低碳技术的转变，输电和配电/地方各级的市场设计都需要发展。考虑到与这些资源相关的可变性，提供灵活性服务，帮助平衡可再生能源发电的可变性并支持安全的系统运行，同时降低与这些技术的集成和连接相关的成本，变得至关重要。随着太阳能和风能资源的重要性和数量的不断增长，这一数字也在增加。此外，与这些资源相关的零边际成本，以及它们的跨期操作技术限制，可能会对未来电力系统中的传统电力市场设计构成严重挑战，已经开展了大量工作来理解和开发适当的机制，使DER能够参与这些市场。这包括利用不同的市场设计和概念，如虚拟发电厂（VPP）管理各种DER提供的灵活性服务。因此，本研究将评估低碳能源系统中电力市场和灵活性辅助服务的新设计和分析。拟议项目的主要动机是需要实现和促进提供容错服务，这些服务可以帮助平衡可再生能源发电的可变性，并支持安全的系统运行，同时降低与这些技术的集成和连接相关的成本。此外，这些解决方案还需要为新技术的投资者以及致力于深度脱碳能源系统的各个政治管辖区提供收入机会，以减轻与气候变化相关的潜在风险。对于这种脱碳能源系统，能源需求的很大一部分将由DER提供。此外，该项目还将努力调查这种自下而上的方法如何能够帮助发展和改善网络薄弱的电力系统，并使离网社区系统逐步一体化，以支持肯尼亚等发展中国家农村地区的电气化。
