| Objectives | A desktop feasibility study to investigate the feasibility of scale thermal energy storage in the UK as well as validating the economic benefits. Form TES Working GroupSelect heat network partnerDevelop a high level design for future demonstrationsSupport and accelerate the transition to SIF alpha Maximise the success of discovery by feeding in additional data gathering, formatting, reviewing and validation to inform the SIF outcomes | |
| Abstract | Heat - Discovery Continuation aims to explore the feasibility of network flexibility from large-scale and domestic TES to reduce peak demand on the transmission and distribution networks over multiple timescales, reducing the need for network reinforcement. We will also consider benefits to electricity generation by reducing the capacity required to meet peak demand and the gas system by helping to smooth the future demand for hydrogen.This project is in place to safeguard the delivery and continuity of the associated SIF project. | |
