Developing novel 5th generation district energy networks

摘要: Abstract Integrated smartly controlled energy networks have the potential to deliver significant reductions in carbon emissions, improve air quality and reduce costs for end-users across world. This paper introduces a novel methodology development of integrated thermal, power mobility 5th generation (5G) smart networks. The proposed 5G concept builds on state art by connecting flexible electricity demands such as heat pumps, electric vehicles intermittent, renewable secondary sources storage using artificial intelligence facilitate optimal control maximise revenue savings. innovative method is being applied central London through two independent schemes. schemes will incorporate range different renewables sources, example, waste from local data centres Underground that supply large proportion demand overall district network capacity. Both operate at close ambient temperature, approximately 15–25 °C so-called ‘ambient loop’ system, with individual pumps each end-user or building connected network. system also integrates thermal electrical create additional flexibility demand-side management. A management flexibly controls assets response price signals reflecting intermittency grid. loop distribute low end users. Results presented this provide an understanding capital associated systems relative performance technologies complex techno-economic modelling approach. Overall, demonstrates implementation results lower consumers while same time transforming existing urban area near zero-carbon terms heating, cooling, transport.
