Energy Autonomous Community (Isle of Wight)

“能源自治社区将研究怀特岛虚拟电网（VPN）和灵活性市场发展带来的机会。它将创建一个以灵活市场为核心的本地智能系统，这将使该岛能够改善其本地能源管理和使用，并推进其能源自治愿景，实现可再生能源电力的自给自足。随着能源革命的步伐加快，怀特岛已经经历了许多电网容量问题，预计这些问题将在全国范围内出现。考虑到进一步的传统加固存在物理和财政障碍，它已经确定需要一个智能电网解决方案来促进其愿景。概念和设计研究将集中在West Wight地区，该地区约有15,000户家庭，其中包括相当大比例（20%）的废气物业。它将调查消费者如何以一种智能的方式利用电力，通过在可再生能源发电量高的时期储存（热的和电的）和使用电力，并在低产量时期减少需求。这个过程被称为“负载转移”，我们将研究实现这一目标的各种方法。这包括将屋顶光伏、家用电池存储和电动汽车（EV）充电系统与加热组件集成在一起的家庭系统；公共电动汽车充电点，根据本地发电量收取不同的收费；以及与太阳能农场相连的大型电池存储系统。总之，这些解决方案将确保实时可再生能源发电的最大用电量。该研究将探讨灵活性如何使所有发电商都能选择将电力出售给当地的灵活性市场，并将当地发电与当地消费者更直接地联系起来。这可能需要新的商业模式，如点对点（P2P）交易和一个通过通知消费者何时有更便宜的本地电力来管理灵活性系统的平台。这些新车型将被全面调查，以确保它们能够提供消费者选择和能源安全。这个概念和设计研究将探索向低碳发电的过渡。虽然它将在怀特岛进行，但其结果很可能在英国任何希望高水平分布式发电的地区复制，并希望社区成为这一代的主要受益者。”

"Energy Autonomous Community will investigate the opportunities arising from the development of a Virtual Power Network (VPN) and flexibility marketplace on the Isle of Wight. It will create a local smart system, with the flexibility marketplace at its heart, which will allow the Island to improve its local energy management and usage and to progress its energy autonomy vision, to be self-sufficient in electricity from renewable sources.The Isle of Wight is already experiencing many of the grid capacity issues that are expected to occur nationally as the energy revolution gathers pace. It has identified the need for a smart grid solution to facilitate its vision, given the physical and financial obstacles to further traditional reinforcement.The concept and design study will focus on the West Wight area which contains approximately 15,000 households, including a significant proportion (20%) of off-gas properties. It will investigate how consumers can utilise electricity in a smart way by storing (both thermally and electrically) and using electricity during periods of high renewable generation, and reducing demand during low production periods. This process is known as 'load shifting' and various means of achieving this will be investigated. This includes domestic systems which integrate rooftop PV, domestic battery storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging systems with the heating component; public EV charging points which have variable tariffs depending on the amount of local generation available; and large battery storage systems connected to solar farms. Together, these solutions will ensure maximum power usage of real time renewable generation.The study will investigate how flexibility can give all generators the option to sell power into the local flexibility market and connect local generation more directly with local consumers. This is likely to require new commercial models such as peer-to-peer (P2P) trading and a platform which manages the flexibility system by informing consumers when cheaper local power is available.These new models will be fully investigated to ensure that they can deliver consumer choice and energy security.This concept and design study will explore the transition to low carbon generation. Whilst it will take place on the Isle of Wight, the results are likely to be replicable in any area in the UK with a desire for high levels of distributed generation and a wish for the community to be a primary beneficiary of that generation."
