High-Density Hydro [HDHydro]; New energy-storage system demonstration.

该项目是关于脱碳能源，减缓气候变化和促进新的可再生能源装置的增长。HDHydro：一种储能解决方案，在泵送储能系统中使用创新的环保高科技流体。抽水蓄能在概念上非常简单：在能源丰富的时候，低成本的电力被用来将大量的水从较低的水库抽到较高的水库。随着能源价格的上涨，水通过管道和涡轮机被释放到山下，涡轮机将电力重新输送到电网，通常使用水的抽水蓄能的往返效率约为80%。然而，RheEnergise并没有使用水，而是在一个埋地的闭环系统中使用了他们专有的高密度流体（水密度的2.5倍）。在所有其他条件相同的情况下，这将可用的功率和能量增加了2.5倍。该流体是一种环境友好的悬浮固体在水中。在电池系统中，往返效率约为83%，没有寄生冷却负载。由于高密度流体，这也意味着项目可以安装在低山丘上，而不是山区，因为HDHydro项目在低2.5倍的场地上实现了与水相同的功率。HDHydro项目位于小山丘上，而不是山区。气候变化委员会、能源系统弹射器、极光能源研究、彭博新能源基金会和其他机构都认为，储能是平衡未来能源系统供需的一项重要技术，未来能源系统将由大量间歇性可再生能源和基本负荷核能发电主导。这两种发电类型都将依赖于储能来匹配可变的供应和可变的需求。本项目为第一阶段：一项技术可行性研究，包括一些初步的扶持工作，以促进第二阶段项目的交付（如果申请过程成功）。第二阶段项目将是一个实物展示质量的示范运行可逆泵涡轮机专门设计用于与RheEnergise高科技流体。涡轮机将安装在便携式底座（ISO容器尺寸）上，连接到加压储存罐（模拟山丘的高度），使用歧管和阀门控制流量。它将包括一个定制的动力系统，操作控制系统和客户显示界面。对该项目的范围界定是为了确保在缔约方大会第二十六届会议的时间表内能够交付。该项目实现了英国在新冠肺炎疫情后“重建得更好”的目标。它是 * 在几个工程学科高度创新 * 提供了大量的英国商业机会 * 保护气候和环境 * 显示客户的兴趣和批量销售的机会。* 有能力在COP26之前进行示范。

This project is about decarbonising energy, climate-change mitigation and facilitating growth in new renewable energy installations. HDHydro: An energy-storage solution that uses an innovative environmentally benign, high-technology fluid in a pumped-energy-storage system. Pumped-energy-storage is conceptually very simple: at times of energy abundance, low-cost electricity is used to pump massive quantities of water, up mountains, from a lower-reservoir to an upper-reservoir. As energy prices rise, the water is released back down the mountain, through pipes and a turbine, which regenerates electricity back to the electricity-grid, typically round-trip efficiencies for pumped energy storage using water is about 80%. However Instead of using water, RheEnergise use their proprietary high-density fluid (2.5x the density of water), in a buried, closed-loop system. All else being equal, this increases the power and energy available by a factor of 2.5\. The fluid is an environmentally benign suspended-solid in water. Round-trip efficiencies are ~83%, without parasitic cooling loads, found in battery systems. Because of the high-density fluid it also means that projects can be installed on low hills rather than mountains, as HDHydro projects achieve the same power, compared to water, on sites that are 2.5x lower. HDHydro projects are located on small hills rather than mountains. The-Committee-on-Climate-Change, The-Energy-Systems-Catapult, Aurora-Energy-Research, BloombergNEF and others all agree that energy-storage is an essential technology to balance the supply and demand of future energy-systems dominated by large volumes of intermittent renewable-energy and base-load nuclear generation. Both generation types will rely on energy-storage to match variable supply with variable demand. This project is Phase1: A technical feasibility study with some initial enabling works that would facilitate the delivery of a phase2 project (if successful in the application process). The Phase2 project would be a physical exhibition quality demonstration of an operational reversible-pump-turbine specifically designed for use with the RheEnergise high-technology fluid. The turbine would be mounted on portable base (ISO container sizing) be connected to pressurised store tanks (to simulate the elevation of a hill) use a manifold and valves to control the flow. It would include a bespoke power-system, operational control system and customer display interface. The project has been scoped to ensure deliverability against COP-26 timescales. This project fulfils the UKs aims of 'build-back-better' following Covid-19\. It is * Highly innovative across several engineering disciplines * Provides large UK business opportunities * Protects the climate and environment * Shows customer interest and the opportunity for volume sales. * The ability to construct a demonstration by COP26\.
