Whole Energy System: Levenmouth Integrated Demonstration (WESLID) - Concept and Design Study

“英国在实现其根据《气候变化法案》做出的将二氧化碳排放量减少到1990年水平的80%的承诺方面取得了重大进展，特别是在电网脱碳领域，以及在国内短途旅行中大幅转向电动汽车的吸收和规划方面。然而，从历史上看，我们能源系统的各种组成向量（即电，热，运输）一直作为独立的函数运行，相互作用和集成有限。为了在我们向脱碳能源系统过渡的下一个关键步骤，我们需要从孤立地看待这些向量，转而创建一个动态平衡和灵活的低碳能源系统。为当地能源系统提供一个完整的系统方法将提供新的服务和价值流，进一步推动英国的直接利益，并促进系统控制、软件开发和聚合服务领域的发展，使英国成为该领域的世界领导者。利文茅斯被选为该项目设计的矢量集成平台（VIP）设计研究的初始试验台。利文茅斯拥有各种各样的资产，包括一个氢微电网，一个部署的电动和氢汽车车队，一个7兆瓦的海上风力涡轮机，一个工业热电联产工厂和热网。由于当地的人口结构、严重的燃料贫困和较低的社会流动性，运营智能当地能源系统的直接效益将得到切实实现。该项目将为VIP开发技术软件规范，使其能够在各种不同的监管和市场安排下控制多种能源载体的供需资产，同时为业主和最终用户回报利润率。通过与公用事业公司、当地能源网络所有者和监管机构密切合作，VIP将为硬件测试和地方一级的建模政策提供一个测试平台，重点是测试公众对脱碳能源系统的意见和反应。与国家模型的互动将促进对多向量结果的准确预测，并使在英国推出改进的VIP并出口到国际。”

"The United Kingdom has made significant progress towards achieving its commitments under the Climate Change Act to reduce CO2 emissions to 80% of 1990 levels, particularly in the areas of de-carbonising the electricity grid and in the uptake and planning to substantially shift to electric vehicles for short domestic journeys. However, historically the various constituent vectors of our energy system (i.e. electricity, heat, transport) have been operated as independent functions with limited interactions and integration. To make the next key step in our transition to a decarbonised energy system we need to move forward from viewing these vectors in isolation to create a dynamically balanced and flexible low carbon energy system. Enabling a whole systems approach to local energy systems will provide new services and value streams, further driving direct benefits to the UK and enabling developments in the areas of system control, software development and aggregation services, establishing the UK as the world leader in this field.Levenmouth has been chosen as the initial test bed for the design study of a vector integration platform (VIP) to be designed through this project. Levenmouth has a diverse range of assets including a hydrogen microgrid, a deployed fleet of electric and hydrogen vehicles, a 7MW offshore wind turbine, an industry CHP plant and heat network. Due to the local demographic, significant levels of fuel poverty and low social mobility, the direct benefits of operating a smart local energy system will be tangibly realised.This project will develop the technical software specification for a VIP with the capabilities to control supply and demand assets across multiple energy vectors under a variety of different regulatory and market arrangements whilst returning a profit margin for both the owners and end users. Through working closely with the utility companies, local energy network owners and regulators, the VIP developed will provide a test bed for hardware testing and modelling policy on a local level with a significant focus attributed to testing public opinion and reaction to a de-carbonised energy system. Interactions with national models will be facilitated for accurate forecasting of multi-vector outcomes and to enable roll out of an evolved VIP across the UK and for exporting internationally."
