Transportation-grid interdependence: how to make net zero energy work using energy storage

电力市场将受到影响，因为运输部门寻求实现净零目标。根据加拿大的政策对运输部门进行脱碳（即，2030年减排计划和到2050年实现零排放）将大大改变供应和需求的空间格局，因为交通和电力部门变得越来越相互依赖。需要新的电网平衡方案，以确保电力市场能够管理这种变化。 此外，新的废物流（例如，电池产生的电子废物）将需要周密的计划，以减轻脱碳对环境的不利影响。 政府决策需要对成本和影响有充分的了解，以确保实现净零目标，同时克服能源转型带来的不可预见的负面影响。 该提案的目标是建立一个联盟，以开发决策支持工具，提供有关关键的新兴存储选项的强大技术信息，这些选项将支持加拿大的净零过渡，因为运输和电力部门变得越来越相互依赖。 该提案将涉及的关键技术领域包括：抽水蓄能、电池、氢和替代燃料选择。 技术经济和生命周期评估将针对魁北克目前和预计的每一技术流的能源基础设施进行。将通过一个讲习班制定通用模型，并根据加拿大各地的不同规模和地区进行调整。由于地理和时间可变性会影响结果，参数模型对于与加拿大的净零政策保持一致至关重要。研究结果将支持加拿大可持续的、经济上可行的净零能源系统的解决方案。我们的合作伙伴包括加拿大自然资源部和加拿大电力部，因此包括电力和存储领域的关键技术专家以及全国各地的政策制定者和公用事业公司。我们的合作者，魁北克大学（Trois Rivieres）和Hydro-魁北克，将成为受邀参加研讨会的各种专家利益相关者之一，并将召开审查小组会议，每年两次在线提供进展和结果的反馈。

Electricity markets will be impacted as transportation sectors seek to achieve net zero goals. Decarbonization of the transportation sector in line with Canada's policies (i.e., the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan and Zero Emissions by 2050) will substantially shift the spatial patterns of supply and demand as transportation and electric sectors become increasingly interdependent. New grid balancing options will be required to ensure electricity markets can manage such shifts. Further, new waste streams (e.g., e-waste from batteries) will need thoughtful plans to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of decarbonization. Government decision-making requires robust knowledge of costs and impacts to ensure that net zero goals can be met while overcoming otherwise unforeseen negative consequences of the energy transition. The goal of this proposal is to build an Alliance to develop decision-support tools that provide robust technical information about the critical, emerging storage options that will support net-zero transitions in Canada as the transportation and electric sectors become increasingly interdependent. The key technological areas this proposal will address include: pumped hydro, batteries, hydrogen, and alternative fuel options. Techno economic and life cycle assessments will be built specific to Quebec's current and projected energy infrastructure for each technology stream. Generic models will be developed and adapted to different scales and regions across Canada informed by a workshop. Since geographic and temporal variability can impact outcomes, parametric models will be critical for alignment with Canada's net zero policies. Results will support scenarios that investigate solutions for a sustainable, economically viable net zero energy system in Canada. Our partners comprise Natural Resources Canada and Electricity Canada, thus including key technical experts in electricity and storage as well as policymakers and utilities across the country. Our collaborators, University of Quebec (Trois Rivieres), and Hydro-Quebec, will be among a variety of expert stakeholders invited to participate the workshop and a review panel that will convene to provide feedback on progress and results online twice a year.
