MY-STORE: Multi-energY storage-Social, TechnO-economic, Regulatory and Environmental assessment under uncertainty

英国承诺到2050年将其温室气体排放量相对于1990年水平减少至少80%。虽然储能在支持可再生能源整合和帮助实现这些具有挑战性的目标方面的潜在作用得到了广泛认可，但仍然缺乏能够促进储能推广的合适框架的开发。这是由于多种因素，可以反映在相关的研究挑战，该项目旨在解决。其中包括：-充分了解可促进存储部署的商业、监管和机构环境; -深入了解单个存储设备和不同技术的协调组合可为不同市场的不同参与方产生的真正价值流;- 模拟不同能源载体之间的相互作用并最大限度地发挥协同作用，特别是除了电力之外的热量和天然气，开发合适的技术经济模型，以满足影响储能运营商和所有者的相关运营和投资不确定性，并适当考虑网络和市场限制;- 了解不同储存技术的广泛影响和社会反应，包括公众看法和环境影响。我们的愿景是开发一个全面的框架，由创新的技术经济建模技术支持，能够处理不同类型的运营和规划不确定性以及网络限制，旨在为不同类型的储能提供可持续的商业案例。我们的分析将评估连接到不同网络级别的单个储能设备或设备的聚合组合如何同时提供多个稳态，动态服务和电能质量服务，并评估这些服务对不同市场各方产生的相关影响和价值。我们将明确考虑多种能源形式的存储，特别是不同类型的电能存储和热能存储技术，以及电力到天然气等创新技术。我们的模型将在各种技术、商业和监管环境中进行测试，并考虑到社会经济和环境方面，包括公众对不同技术的看法。MY-STORE项目将战略性地补充当前的研究，并通过提供更广泛的背景、理解和应对能源存储的大规模部署带来新的视角。我们的目标是成为世界上第一个提供这样一个全面框架的公司，该框架可以为政策辩论和商业界提供有关任何存储技术在向更可持续的能源网络过渡中的价值和作用的信息。尽管提出的框架具有普遍性，但研究将侧重于英国的情况，时间范围从短期到中期（约2035年），然后开放到2050年及以后。事实上，我们雄心勃勃的计划的一部分是展示储能的价值和作用，并展示如何在短期内建立商业案例，甚至是今天商业化的技术（例如，热能储存和不同类型的电池），然后促进发展适当的监管和市场环境，以实现更大规模的储存部署我们的研究将使英国在这一重要领域走在国际前列，并为未来的发展提供一个安全的平台，这也是基于与我们的工业合作伙伴的密切合作，这些合作伙伴代表了各种已经在英国部署或试用的成熟和新兴的多能源存储技术。

The UK has a commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050 relative to 1990 levels. While the potential role of energy storage to support integration of RES and help meet these challenging targets is well recognised, development of suitable frameworks that could facilitate energy storage rollout is still lacking. This is due to multiple factors that can be reflected in relevant Research Challenges that this project aims to address. These include:- An adequate understanding of commercial, regulatory, and institutional settings that can facilitate storage deployment; - Gaining insights into the true value streams that individual storage devices and coordinated portfolios of different technologies can generate for different parties across different markets; - Modelling interactions and maximising synergies among different energy vectors, and in particular heat and gas besides electricity, in order to unlock the flexibility of multi-energy forms of storage; - Developing suitable techno-economic models that can cater for the relevant operational and investment uncertainties that affect storage operators and owners and properly consider network and market constraints;- Understanding of wider impacts and social responses of different storage technologies, including public perceptions and environmental impacts. Our Vision is to develop a comprehensive framework, supported by innovative techno-economic modelling techniques capable to deal with different types of operational and planning uncertainties as well as network constraints, aimed at fostering sustainable business cases for different types of energy storage. Our analyses will assess how individual energy storage devices or aggregated portfolios of devices connected to different network levels can provide multiple simultaneous steady-state, dynamic services and power quality services and assess the relevant impact and value arising from these services for different market parties. We will consider explicitly multi-energy forms of storage, and in particular different types of electrical energy storage and thermal energy storage technologies, as well as innovative technologies such as power-to-gas. Our models will be tested in various technical, commercial and regulatory environments and taking into account socio-economic and environmental aspects, including public perceptions to different technologies.The MY-STORE project will strategically supplement the current research and bring a new perspective by providing much broader context, understanding and responses to the wide-scale deployment of energy storage. Our Ambition is to be the first in the world to provide such a comprehensive framework that can inform policy debates and the business community on the value and role of any storage technology in the transition towards more sustainable energy networks. Notwithstanding the generality of the framework put forward, the studies will focus on the UK situation, with time horizons from short to medium term (around 2035) and then opening up to 2050 and beyond. In fact, part of our ambitious plan is to bring out the value and role of energy storage and demonstrate how it could be possible to build business cases already in the shorter term and even for technologies that are commercially available today (e.g., thermal energy storage and different types of batteries), and then to facilitate development of appropriate regulatory and market environments for wider scale storage deployment (and possibly based on new technologies) to deal with the challenges of developing a truly low-carbon energy system.Our research will put the UK at the international forefront in this important field and provide a secure platform for future developments, also based on close collaboration with our industrial partners which represent a variety of established and emerging multi-energy storage technologies that are being already deployed or trialled in the UK.
