GBDESC: Grid Balancing via the Domestic Energy Supply Chain

这项为期12个月的首创“GBDESC：通过国内能源供应链实现电网平衡”项目的重点是在400个拥有光伏系统的家庭中安装家庭储能系统（HESS，包括电池、逆变器、仪表和控制系统），然后使用这些系统为电网提供平衡服务。通过这样做，该项目将牢固地确立大规模部署低碳储能系统的技术、监管和财务效益，并将其整合到国家电网的平衡服务中。该项目的八个合作伙伴是上行能源、夏普实验室欧洲、夏普电子、滨海绍森德自治市议会、可持续住宅、斯通福德协会、帝国学院和国家电网。可再生能源发电的增长，加上供暖和运输的电气化等趋势正在给电网带来巨大变化。这为英国存储和需求侧响应（DSR）创造了每年80亿英镑的机会。GBDESC项目将通过商业规模的国内和社区能源供应链创建能源供需动态平衡的第一个示范。该项目将开发一个可重复的模式来部署家庭储能系统并使用它们为电网提供平衡服务。这开辟了一条将数十千兆瓦时的储能系统部署到住宅物业的道路，从而为电网提供了巨大的灵活性和价值。GBDESC项目将部署一个集成的解决方案，在整个供应链中创造价值，从而实现大规模部署。它基于两项技术创新：Upside Energy的高度可扩展和灵活的云平台，用于管理大量国内站点的能源存储，从而将其聚合成一个连贯的虚拟能源存储（VES）；以及夏普的家庭能源管理系统（HEMS），该系统可以管理房屋内的电力流动，并将HESS内的能源提供给VES。该项目围绕这两项创新建立了可持续的供应链，为HESS制造商、安装商、房东、租户、房主和电网创造价值。它还涉及两个关键的支持因素：支持大规模可重复部署的一揽子融资方案，以及支持这种部署的政策建议。

The 12 month First Of A Kind "GBDESC: Grid Balancing via the Domestic Energy Supply Chain" project is focused on installing Home Energy Storage Systems (HESS; including Batteries, Inverters, Meters, and Control Systems) into 400 homes with PV systems, and then in using these systems to provide balancing services to the grid. In doing so the project will firmly establish the technical, regulatory and financial benefits of mass deployment of low carbon energy storage systems, and their aggregated integration into National Grid’s balancing services. The eight partners in the project are Upside Energy, Sharp Labs Europe, Sharp Electronics, Southend-on-sea Borough Council, Sustainable Homes, Stoneford Associates, Imperial College and National Grid. Trends such as growth of renewable generation, plus electrification of heating and transport, are creating dramatic changes on the grid. This creates an £8bn p.a. UK opportunity for storage and Demand Side Response (DSR). The GBDESC project will create the first demonstrator of dynamic balancing of energy supply & demand via the domestic & community energy supply chain at commercial scale. The project will develop a repeatable model to deploy home energy storage systems & use them to provide balancing services to the grid. This opens up a route to deploy tens of GWh of energy storage into domestic properties, thus providing substantial flexibility and hence value to the grid. The GBDESC project will deploy an integrated solution that creates value across the supply chain, thus enabling deployment at scale. It is based on two technology innovations: Upside Energy’s highly scalable & flexible cloud platform for managing energy storage on large numbers of domestic sites & hence aggregating it into a coherent Virtual Energy Store (VES); and Sharp’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS), which manages power flows within a house and makes energy within the HESS available to the VES. The project builds a sustainable supply chain around these two innovations by creating value for HESS manufacturers, installers, landlords, tenants, homeowners and the grid. It also addresses two key supporting factors: financing packages to support repeatable deployment at scale, and policy recommendations to support this deployment.
