Case Study: Ensuring Security of Supply Through FlexibilityEMEX
Brexit poses many risks to solving the energy trilemma and has created even more uncertainty about what our future energy mix will look like. However, the benefits of flexibility and the role it has to play in balancing the grid is already very clear, and growth in this area will continue despite wider market volatility.
As this flexibility becomes crucial to maintaining security of supply, it is incumbent on big businesses to do their part and be more responsible in managing their energy consumption. Companies will differ in how they can reduce demand and shift consumption out of peak times, but there will be direct benefits for the businesses that embrace it – both savings on energy bills and additional financial incentives for supporting the grid.
In this session we will cover some of the schemes available for consumers with dynamic energy consumption, and the benefits of working with a supplier to integrate flexibility with procurement to ensure the best possible returns.
Removing carbon from the processes which are essential to our modern world will be one of our generation's defining challenges. Central to this goal will be the role of Energy Storage within our modern infrastructure. Energy storage will need to be placed at all parts in our infrastructure - both in front and behind the meter applications will be key. These diverse applications will need a portfolio of technologies to deliver services to a range of customers. In this talk we explore some innovation possibilities with a focus on (a) Li-ion roadmap and the role of digitisation, (b) Flow batteries for longer term storage and finally (c) Power2X technologies for Energy Reserve and Chemical Industry.

Kerry County Council Submission on Proposal for a Sustainable Energy CommunityTipperary Energy Agency
The document proposes establishing a sustainable energy community in Kerry County through a two-pronged approach: 1) Improving energy efficiency of commercial and residential buildings through retrofits and smart metering systems, and 2) Developing biomass energy centers using locally sourced wood chips to meet heating demands. This would reduce fossil fuel dependence, lower carbon emissions and costs, boost local employment, and improve quality of life. Specific initiatives discussed include retrofitting 134 housing units, installing smart pre-payment meters, developing a 20MW biomass plant, and supporting 150 full-time jobs. The proposal aims to meet national 2020 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency.
This feasibility study examines a proposed solar self-consumption project for a building called the "House of Enterprises" in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, France. The building currently has high electricity consumption of around 154 MWh per year. A photovoltaic system with two fields totaling 260 square meters would generate an estimated 56 MWh of electricity annually, enough to cover 35% of the building's needs on average. However, the financial analysis shows that with an investment of €240,000, the savings from avoided electricity costs over the system's lifetime would not offset the upfront costs. For the project to be economically viable, energy efficiency upgrades would need to lower the building's consumption first. Currently,

11. The Principle of Heat Pump Technology Takes low grade energy in the ground, water, air This is effectively solar energy Transmits it to higher grade energy via a compressor This heat energy provides heating for the home or office It also provides for domestic hot water
14. Performance Measurement - COP? Coefficient of Performance A measurement of the ratio of energy input (electricity) to heat output For example: 2kW electricity to provide 7kW heat = COP of 3.50 Must however be compared like with like Common to compare GSHP’s at B0W35 (EN14511) Common to compare ASHP’s at A2W35 (EN14511)
15. COP – So What? EST Monitoring Programme – Installs pre Nov 2008 Professor David MacKay, Chief Scientific Officer, Department of Energy and Climate Change: “Heat pumps will be a crucial component of our low-carbon future, provided they perform well. It’s therefore essential to conduct trials to establish best practice, and perfect this technology for use in building throughout the UK.” However, 80% of monitored installs did not meet EU proposed level for classification as renewable energy of 2.6 Notably - European installs perform better Experience Equipment Quality
16. Heat Pump v Natural Gas - Comparison Space heating load 100 kWh per week Heat pump with COP of 3.5 Gas Boiler operating at thermal efficiency of 100% HP energy consumption = 100/3.5 = 30 kWh Boiler energy consumption = 100/1 = 100 Kwh
17. Heat Pump v Natural Gas – CO 2 At 2009 current UK generator mix emitted CO 2 - 0.43kgCO 2 /kWh of electricity used. Corresponding figure for natural gas is 0.194 kgCO 2 /kWh Based on previous example Heat pump emissions: 30 x .43 = 12.9 kgCO 2 Gas Boiler emissions: 100 x .194 = 19.4 kgCO 2 Therefore Heat Pump emits 33% less CO 2 that Gas Boiler
18. Heat Pump v Natural Gas - Cost Approximate price of fuels per kWh – gas = 4.1p electricity (inc. Low cost tariffs) = 10p Hence comparison of actual costs: Gas = 4.1p x 100 kWh = £4.10 per week HP = 10p x 30 kWh = £3.00 per week Heat Pump saving of 26% on gas

Over the course of today you will hear many definitions of sustainable development but possibly the most to the point is that coined by the Brundtland Commission. The BC, originally named the World Commission on Environment and Development was convened by the UN in 1983 to address growing concerns about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources. The Commission was concerned with how sustainable development might be managed on a world wide basis with consideration given to inter country interaction on the issue given differing levels of social and economic development. And so Sustainable Development is ..... Ultimately the concept of ‘sustainable design’ suggests there is an onus on us all to make ourselves aware of how best to direct those who will build towards ensuring that we as humans remain in a state of equilibrium with our environment.
Areas to consider under the banner of sustainable development are for example modes of living, ie the development of eco villages, sustainable cities. Food production, how we can ensure replenishment of the soil through crop rotation, resting land strategies and so on. Work practice, particularly pertinent today and most specifically areas such as sustainable architecture. How we as individuals consider our ongoing use of natural resources, how can we impact imrprovements in consideration of energy usage, food packaging. New Technology, playing a significant role at the simplest level new forms of low energy lightbulbs through to sophisticated building management systems and of course somewhere in between renewable energy solutions.
There are many areas to consider when promoting sustainable design, however let’s look at how this might be done through the medium of renewable energy. OK, so what is renewable energy? These are a number of examples of renewable energy, and in particular we are interested in micro renewables such as heat pumps, solar thermal and PV, Biomass.
The heat pump is a particularly obvious form of renewable energy albeit this assumes a number of things including good practice in the design, install and commissioning of. Get these right and the heat pump as we will demonstrate is a particular effective form of sustainable living.....
A significant advance through IDM R&D has been the introduction of the new Navigator control system. A truly intelligent unit has a host of features designed to get the best out of the space heating abilities of the heatpump whilst optimising the production of hot water. Additionally the Navigator takes into account variables such as external temperature conditions and trends predicting heat requirements into the future thus optimising energy usage say in terms of utilising low tariff electricity. Furthermore the Navigator enhances consumer control of the unit with the entire system being controllable from your office desk! Unlike heatpump controls generally the system is intuitive with for example „party setting“ designed to interupt the normal day to day operation to allow for a sudden one off change in usage
Of course the IHS system allows for the integration of all forms of renewable and traditional systems as and when they might be required in the future. The thermal store being the central focus of our systems allows for the storage of all energy and ultimately the distribution of the energy to where it is needed to maintain maximum comfort for those relying on the system
Bei einem errechneten Stromverbrauch von 32.000 kWh p.a. ergibt dies eine Jahresarbeitszahl von 5,68. Die thermische Sanierung umfasste 2 Maßnahmen: Vollwärmeschutz Grundwasser-Wärmepumpenanlage Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Sanierung war auch die Erneuerung des Heizungssystems und die Reduktion des Energieverbrauchs.
