Macro DE - Project Baseline Objectives

Abstract:

This project quantified the opportunity for Macro level Distributed Energy (DE) across the UK and accelerate the development of appropriate technology by 2020 for the purposes of significant implementation by 2030. The project studied energy demand such as residential accommodation, local services, hospitals, business parks and equipment, and is developing a software methodology to analyse local combinations of sites and technologies. This enabled the design of optimised distributed energy delivery solutions for these areas.

This deliverable is number 1 of 3 in Work Package 1. Its intention is to ensure full alignment between the project consortium and the ETI on the detailed processes to achieve the key project objectives and the assessment criteria at the start of the project. To this end it specifically covers:

• The process for achieving the project’s key objectives
• Detailed performance criteria for the assessment of DE zone approach and UK benefits, at a minimum CO₂ reduction, security of energy supply and cost of delivery
• Baseline assessment assumptions, including the target end users
