The 2050 Energy Infrastructure Outlook project provides data on the costs associated with key types of fixed energy infrastructure as well as identifying possible ‘grey areas’ where technology development could significantly influence cost and performance. The project gathered data on different types of infrastructure associated with electricity, gas, hydrogen and heat. It also looked at infrastructure types: transmission, distribution, storage, conversion and connections. The data itself looked at costs relating to capital, fixed/variable operating and maintenance, abandonment (‘infrastructure decommissioning’) and repurposing (‘altering existing infrastructure’).
This presentation outlines the infrastructure cost calculator tool which was developed by Buro Happold as part of this project - how it works, its data sources, what it can be used for, and its limitations.

ETI’s Strategy Analyst Alex Buckman presents “Balancing supply and demand in the energy system” at the All Energy 2017 Conference in Glasgow.
- Energy balancing is critical and extends beyond the electricity system
- Numerous opportunities to achieve balancing include:
- Energy storage
- Demand side flexibility
- Vector integration
- Key decisions that lead to new energy systems will affect how much and what type of flexibility is needed.
- There is a huge amount of potential that we do not currently understand about balancing within a whole energy system.
- It is possible to assess the requirements for future flexibility – tools and evidence are being developed to help with this.

This project looked at designing a supply chain solution to improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of the 26 million UK homes which will still be in use by 2050.It looked to identify ways in which the refurbishment and retrofitting of existing residential properties can be accelerated by industrialising the processes of design, supply and implementation, while stimulating demand from householders by exploiting additional opportunities that come with extensive building refurbishment.The project developed a top-to-bottom process, using a method of analysing the most cost-effective package of measures suitable for a particular property, through to how these will be installed with the minimum disruption to the householder. This includes identifying the skills required of the people on the ground as well as the optimum material distribution networks to supply them with exactly what is required and when.
This report is part of WP4.2. It presents the development of the framework of an adaptable and scalable supply chain to meet customers’ requirements for whole house retrofit for improved thermal efficiency. The findings to date are derived from workshops held with members of the retrofit industry.

This slide set was presented by the Forest Research led team, covering the findings from the whole of the Characterisation of Feedstocks Project. This project provides a wealth of robust information and many consistent high-level findings to inform biomass growers and end-users. The findings have challenged some widely held views, reinforced others and hinted at some intriguing differences that may be worth further study.
It was not possible to derive simple guidance for biomass growers because of the differences in the behaviour of the individual feedstock characteristics. For any one year and site, the net effect of these changes is difficult to predict.
If there was sufficient premium for crop quality, a monitoring programme, which could focus on the most important parameters for the end - use in mind, could be considered.

ETI’s Chief Technical Officer Chris Thorne presented “Heavy Duty Vehicles: Efficiency Opportunity, Options, Demonstration and Barriers” at the Low Carbon Vehicles (LCV) conference in 2016
- HDVs represent an opportunity to cost effectively decarbonise the UK energy system across a range of abatement and cost levels
- In the first instance, the ETI’s efficiency projects have shown that a 30% reduction in fuel efficiency across the UK fleet can be achieved with reasonable payback periods
- Properly sourced and managed natural gas when coupled to a low methane slip powertrain can provide further CO2(equivalent) benefits
- As the UK transitions to a very low CO2 energy system (circa 2040 to 2050), further ‘carbon priced’ HDV options could become attractive
- The marginal carbon price will be a function ofthe other technologies deployed in the energy system (e.g. CCS versus no CCS), but thresholds can be set using the ETI’s ESME tool
- Barriers exist in the uptake of fuel efficiency technologies and new tools, techniques and policies are required to overcome them –a subject for future work

No! It’s not dead!
No! It’s not dead!
- The UK has massive CO2 storage potential; it also has tremendous gas infrastructure (assets and people) to support CCS
- The storage sites closely relate to existing gas industry and power generation locations
- Gas power plant is cheap and quick to build compared to its competition; CCS (on gas) is competitive
- Mid 2020’s sees a need for significant new generation –the market should value reliable, despatchable power
- Gas companies may be sufficiently motivated to develop new long term customers that they may take new risks –storage, capture and transport are all existing gas company competencies
- Gas CCGT with CCS provides both capacity and green electrons – it avoids having to subsidise an OSW plant for green electrons and an OCGT for reserve
- High OSW penetration could be increasingly costly –having CCS as an option will be valuable

The Natural Hazards Review project will develop a framework and best practice approach to characterise natural hazards and seek to improve methodologies where current approaches are inefficient. This is to improve energy system infrastructure design and the project is intended to share knowledge of natural hazards across sectors. The project will be completed in three stages. Phase one will focus on a gap analysis. Phase two will look at developing a series of improved methodologies from the gaps identified in phase one, and phase three will demonstrate how to apply these methodologies. Finally, phase 3 will develop a “how to” guide for use by project engineers.

The aim of the Power Plant Siting Study project was to explore the different opportunities and constraints involved in developing sites in England and Wales for new low carbon power plants. The study considers new nuclear as well as fossil fueled power stations using carbon capture and storage technologies. The study is important to understand the different features which could either make a potential site suitable or, alternatively, prevent its viability. This study is intended to inform whether there is likely to be competition for development sites between low carbon technologies, which could be a future constraint in the low carbon replacement of the UK’s ageing power plants. It will help inform the ETI’stechnology strategy development work, which is looking at how to accelerate the development of new energy technologies for a UK transition to a low carbon economy.

- Substantial challenges associated with widespread roll-out of low carbon vehicles; shift from a “problem for the network” to an “opportunity through integration of vehicles as part of a wider system” can yield benefits for all actors in the system, including:
- increased uptake of low-emission vehicles, managing charging and refuelling, and optimising the system design
- Analysis and solutions must be holistic (considering all parts of the system together, including users)
- Robust trials in Stage 2 will generate data to test solutions and inform analysis, and will add unique value:
- Trial with mass-market users (i.e. people from the majority of the vehicle user and fleet operator markets)
- Addressing widely-applicable plug-in vehicles (BEVsand PHEVs) suitable for wide range of users
- Holistic system design

Phase two of the ETI Tidal Energy Converter (TEC) project will see two Atlantis owned 1.5MW commercial tidal energy turbines installed on an innovative foundation structure designed and built as part of the project. This will take place at the MeyGen site in Scotland and increase the number of turbines at the site from four to six, increasing the rated capacity of the tidal array from 6MW to 9MW (enough to power 4,500 local homes). Atlantis are developing a patent-pending innovative and cost effective multi-turbine foundation design as a result of the work they undertook in the first phase of the project - a total system lifecycle cost of energy methodology to identify tidal energy system technologies capable of significantly reducing the cost of energy being deployed at array scale.

- Targeted a 3-4% fuel efficiency benefit and hence green house gas benefit from this project whilst exceeding emissions standards
- SCR fitted to every truck and large off-highway machine sold in the EU and many newer cars
- ETI requested a SCR system capable of achieving a 98% reduction in NOx whilst not exceeding the space requirement and delivering a superior cost to own to the end use
- SCR technology must be applicable across a range of vehicle types and usage cycles
- Light usage vehicles and machines are the most challenging
- Lots of developmental solutions –little science based engineering.
- Achieved project objectives(3-4% GHG benefit at acceptable cost and package size) – applicable to any diesel engine!
- And many side benefits...

This is to help meet the UK’s ambitious renewable energy targets.Students undertake a four year full time course including time with a sponsoring company working on “real world” applications and research initiatives to obtain their doctorates. IDCORE is administered from the University of Edinburgh.
ETI sponsored IDCORE Research Engineer Inés Tunga presents “UK offshore wind cost optimisation: top head mass” at All Energy 2017 in Glasgow. Reducing the ‘top head mass’ (i.e. nacelle, rotor, gearbox, generator and ancillaries) of a wind turbine is one of the key requirements for current and futuredesigns. It enables a lighter and more cost effective tower and foundation, and reducing gearbox weight and size has a huge benefit.
