Introduction: The project includes the assessing the possibility of integration of technology subcomponents – including generation, electricity to hydrogen conversion and storage alongside determining the optimal operational configurations under various scenarios and determining the accompanying economic case.

Objectives:

The project will assess the technical viability of a cross-vector integrated energy system, specifically including:

•    Gas to Electricity conversion
•    Electricity to Gas conversion
•    Energy storage
•    Gas storage

The project will assess the technical viability of a suitable control system for such an integrated system.

The project will assess costs and forecast benefits to establish a level of economic viability for such an integrated system.

Expected Benefits: A successful project will provide positive or negative assessment of the objectives laid in in the previous section : can the identified technologies be used together and in what combinations, is there an economic case for doing so and could our GUS system be successfully applied to control this.
