Energy Storage and Distribution
Moved energy economically and efficiently to where and when it is needed.
What we have done
Projects
Multi Vector Integration
The project aimed to improve the understanding of the opportunity for and implications of moving to more integrated multi vector energy networks in the future.
Storage & Flexibility Modelling
This project developed energy system modelling capability to increase understanding of the role of energy storage and system flexibility in the future energy system
Infrastructure Cost Calculator
This project led by international consulting engineers Buro Happold provided data on the costs and performance associated with key types of fixed energy infrastructure
Distribution Scale Energy Storage
Demonstration of grid scale energy storage technology with the National Facility for Pumped Heat Energy Storage at Newcastle University
Heat Infrastructure Development
The project sought to identify the innovative solutions needed to deliver major reductions in the capital cost of heat network infrastructure
Pre-saturated Core Fault Current Limiter
The Fault Current Limiter, developed during this project by GridON, was commissioned into service in May 2013 at a UK Power Networks main substation in Newhaven. During more than three years in service it demonstrated excellent performance
Offshore Connection
The research was delivered by Sinclair Knight Merz, a leading projects firm with global capability in strategic consulting, engineering and project delivery
Network Capacity
The £600k Network Capacity project was undertaken by the management, engineering and development consultancy Mott MacDonald and completed in 2010
Heat Storage
International consulting engineers Buro Happold completed the £140k research project in 2011
Network Lifecycle Costing
The aim of the project was to investigate further developments in, and the future proofing of, the assessment of operating expenditure costs associated with energy infrastructure
Impact Analysis
This project has developed network modelling to deliver increased capability for assessing the costs of network infrastructure and improved the understanding of network innovation on overall network costs
2030 Electricity Price Time Series
The development of a set of scenarios identifying potential retail electricity prices in 2030.
Transition Analysis Project
An assessment of the implication of pursuing different integrated energy networks transition pathways.
