Energy Storage Integration for a Net Zero Grid (ESI4NZ)

电力网络需要增加储能，以支持风能和太阳能等高水平的可变可再生电力，使我们能够实现净零目标。英国网络目前拥有5.3GW的储能能力，其中1.3GW是电池储能，预计到2030年这一数字将至少增长8GW。但是，仅此一项并不能满足估计的所需容量，因此我们需要使用我们拥有的最佳存储，例如存储的位置和使用时间，这对于避免网络拥塞至关重要。我们还需要促进安装能够在不同时间尺度上运行的不同类型的存储设备，以便例如，一个季节的过剩发电可以在下一个季节使用。该项目的目的是确定如何将不同规模和技术的不同分布式储能资产整合到电网中，作为整个系统解决方案的一部分，以实现适应性、灵活性和弹性。该项目将调查资产在哪里以及如何连接到电网，如何控制它们，以及需要哪些政策和市场条件来满足我们的存储需求。这项研究将在5个合作机构中进行，这项工作以实验为基础，使用在该联盟内运行的网格规模的存储演示器进行操作。产出将包括：-在不同政策和市场条件下对分布式存储的最佳规划和调度的建议，包括对位置部署的激励/监管-跨位置、规模和市场的分布式存储的不同协调级别的影响-用于协调控制存储资产和其他灵活性来源的实用、可扩展的解决方案的演示-描述随着分布式能源存储根据不同情景增长到2035年而能源系统的决策点和选项的路线图。

Increased energy storage storage is needed on the electrical network to support high levels of variable renewable electricity such as wind and solar to enable us to reach our net-zero goals. The UK network currently has 5.3GW of energy storage of which 1.3GW is battery energy storage and this is expected to grow by at least 8GW by 2030. However, this alone does not meet the estimated required capacity, we therefore need to use the storage that we have optimally, for example, the location of storage and when we use it is critical to avoid congestion on the network. We also need to promote the installation of different types of storage that can operate over different time scales so that for example excess generation in one season can be used in the next. The aim of the project is to determine how different distributed energy storage assets, of different sizes and technologies, can be integrated into the grid as part of a whole-system solution to enable adaptability, flexibility and resilience. The project will investigate where and how assets are connected to the grid, how they are controlled and what policies and market conditions are required to meet our storage requirements. The research will be carried out across 5 collaborating institutions with the work underpinned by experiments using operational grid-scale storage demonstrators operated within the consortium. The outputs will include:- Recommendations for optimal planning and scheduling of distributed storage under different policy and market conditions including incentives/regulation of locational deployment - The impacts of different levels of coordination of distributed storage across location, scale, and markets- Demonstrations of practical, scalable solutions for the coordinated control of storage assets and other sources of flexibility- A roadmap that describes the decision points and options for the energy system as distributed energy storage grows according to different scenarios to 2035.
