“…Smart EVs and HPs could not only reduce 53 the required generation/network capacity [3] and the incremental carbon emissions 54 driven by EVs and HPs, but also facilitate the integration of RES through energy 55 arbitrage [6] [7] and ancillary service provision [4] [8]. In this context, this paper focuses 56 on analysing and quantifying the implications of deploying smart EVs and HPs for the 57 carbon emissions and RES integration cost within the UK electricity system.…”

EVs/HPs could significantly enhance both the carbon benefit and the RES integration 29 benefit of smart EVs/HPs. 30 31 Introduction 32Rapid expansion of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is expected to make a key 33 contribution to electricity system decarbonisation. However, high penetration of 34 2 intermittent RES will increase the requirements for various reserve and frequency 35 response services, leading to reduced carbon benefit and increased balancing cost. 36Moreover, large amount of additional generation capacity is required to provide "RES 37 firming" for system security reasons, which causes additional costs associated with 38 RES integration. 39At the same time, the electrification of transport through electric vehicles (EVs) and 40 heating systems through heat pumps (HPs) is seen as another key policy measure to 41 further reduce the use of fossil fuel in energy supply and hence reduce carbon carbon emissions and RES integration cost within the UK electricity system. Therefore, 58 the key specific objectives of this paper can be summarized as: 591. Analyse the benefits of smart EVs/HPs trialled in LCL in reducing carbon emissions 60 in a broader UK electricity system. 61 2. Quantify the economic benefits of carbon savings from smart EVs/HPs in terms of 62 lower requirements to invest in zero-carbon generation capacity in order to achieve 63 the same carbon emission target. 64 3. Analyse the benefits of smart EVs/HPs in reducing system integration cost of RES, 65 including balancing cost associated with RES intermittency and investment cost 66 associated with back-up capacity to ensure system security. 67The impact of smart EVs/HPs is investigated for three future system development 68 scenarios, with particular emphasis on different possible evolution trajectories of RES 69

“…24 It has been learnt that apart from an increase in overall system efficiency, flexibility 25 and reduction in energy consumption, adding TES to a CHP system also reduces CO 2 emissions 26 by thrice compared to a CHP only system. Upon proper optimization and controls, TES-CHP systems operate effectively in district and building heating/cooling applications 27 and areas with notable renewable energy penetration.…”

“…Sets of various spatial distributions of heat pumps and combined heat and power plants are integrated in operational optimizations. The results allow decisions between the various spatial planning strategies, e.g., about the installation of centralized or decentralized energy sources [144]. The work in [145] lines up a decomposition method, including spatial, as well as operational optimization of energy systems.…”

Abstract:In the face of the broad political call for an -energy turnaround‖, we are currently witnessing three essential trends with regard to energy infrastructure planning, energy generation and storage: from planned production towards fluctuating production on the basis of renewable energy sources, from centralized generation towards decentralized generation and from expensive energy carriers towards cost-free energy carriers. These changes necessitate considerable modifications of the energy infrastructure. Even though most of these modifications are inherently motivated by geospatial questions and challenges, the integration of energy system models and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is still in its infancy. This paper analyzes the shortcomings of previous approaches in using GIS in renewable energy-related projects, extracts distinct challenges from these previous efforts and, finally, defines a set of core future research avenues for GIS-based energy infrastructure planning with a focus on the use of renewable energy. These future OPEN ACCESS ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2014, 3 663 research avenues comprise the availability base data and their -geospatial awareness‖, the development of a generic and unified data model, the usage of volunteered geographic information (VGI) and crowdsourced data in analysis processes, the integration of 3D building models and 3D data analysis, the incorporation of network topologies into GIS, the harmonization of the heterogeneous views on aggregation issues in the fields of energy and GIS, fine-grained energy demand estimation from freely-available data sources, decentralized storage facility planning, the investigation of GIS-based public participation mechanisms, the transition from purely structural to operational planning, data privacy aspects and, finally, the development of a new dynamic power market design.Keywords: integration of GIS and energy system models; GIS and renewable energy; GIS-based energy infrastructure planning; future research challenges; fluctuating renewables; structural planning of local energy systems; operation optimization
