Abstract
The UK electricity system faces challenges of unprecedented proportions. It is expected that 35 to 40% of the UK electricity demand will be met by renewable generation by 2020, an order of magnitude increase from the present levels. In the context of the targets proposed by the UK Climate Change Committee it is expected that the electricity sector would be almost entirely decarbonised by 2030 with significantly increased levels of electricity production and demand driven by the incorporation of heat and transport sectors into the electricity system. The key concerns are associated with system integration costs driven by radical changes on both the supply and the demand side of the UK low-carbon system. Our analysis to date suggests that a low-carbon electricity future would lead to a massive reduction in the utilisation of conventional electricity generation, transmission and distribution assets. The large-scale deployment of energy storage could mitigate this reduction in utilisation, producing significant savings. In this context, the proposed research aims at (i) developing novel approaches for evaluating the economic and environmental benefits of a range of energy storage technologies that could enhance efficiency of system operation and increase asset utilization; and (ii) innovation around 4 storage technologies; Na-ion, redox flow batteries (RFB), supercapacitors, and thermal energy storage (TES). These have been selected because of their relevance to grid-scale storage applications, their potential for transformative research, our strong and world-leading research track record on these topics and UK opportunities for exploitation of the innovations arising.
At the heart of our proposal is a whole systems approach, recognising the need for electrical network experts to work with experts in control, converters and storage, to develop optimum solutions and options for a range of future energy scenarios. This is essential if we are to properly take into account constraints imposed by the network on the storage technologies, and in return limitations imposed by the storage technologies on the network. Our work places emphasis on future energy scenarios relevant to the UK, but the tools, methods and technologies we develop will have wide application.
Our work will provide strategic insights and direction to a wide range of stakeholders regarding the development and integration of energy storage technologies in future low carbon electricity grids, and is inspired by both (i) limitations in current grid regulation, market operation, grid investment and control practices that prevent the role of energy storage being understood and its economic and environmental value quantified, and (ii) existing barriers to the development and deployment of cost effective energy storage solutions for grid application.
Key outputs from this programme will be; a roadmap for the development of grid scale storage suited to application in the UK; an analysis of policy options that would appropriately support the deployment of storage in the UK; a blueprint for the control of storage in UK distribution networks; patents and high impact papers relating to breakthrough innovations in energy storage technologies; new tools and techniques to analyse the integration of storage into low carbon electrical networks; and a cohort of researchers and PhD students with the correct skills and experience needed to support the future research, development and deployment in this area.

Planned Impact
The UK electricity system is facing challenges of unprecedented proportions. Our analysis to date suggests that a low carbon electricity future would lead to a massive reduction in the utilisation of the conventional electricity generation, transmission and distribution assets if the present network operation and design philosophy is maintained. Very significant reinforcements of the UK distribution and transmission networks may be required to accommodate the integration of low carbon generation, heat and transport sectors, together with a significant amount of backup conventional generation needed to support intermittent generation. This challenge could be turned into a significant opportunity for the UK research community and commercial sector to gain early experience, and to lead system integration of advanced future grid size energy storage technologies, as the application of storage technologies is of considerable relevance to the UK given its weak interconnections with other systems, and the need to balance demand and supply largely within the GB Island. Our recent work for the Carbon Trust suggested that cost- and technically-effective electricity storage, efficiently deployed, could lead to a saving of around £15 billion in 2030. Resolving grid integration challenges through multidisciplinary cutting edge research will take a major step forward towards achieving those savings and positioning the UK at the forefront of global research initiatives on future electricity networks supported by energy storage.
We will make technical advances in four technologies - Supercapacitors which offer high power for short times, redox flow batteries and thermal energy storage which have large capacity and long timescales and Na-ion batteries with intermediate characteristics. UK-based companies are well-placed to take a lead in developing these technologies. We will work with a range of manufacturers, from multinationals to SMEs, to create new materials for key components, improve the devices' capabilities and ensure that they can be manufactured economically.
The devices also have to be operated within the complex environment of the electricity system. We will develop the control theories and power electronics to ensure that storage can contribute to the security of the electricity network. This will be of benefit to electricity companies - who can make significant savings on other investments if storage is an effective substitute - and also to manufacturers in learning how their products will be used.
We will take information on how storage technologies can be used to show how they should be used - what is the optimal deployment for a range of storage devices across the UK under different future development scenarios? This information will be of value to the whole industry, and also to policy-makers, who need to know how storage fits in to the evolving vision of a low-carbon energy system. We will also study how storage investors and operators respond to the economic incentives that they face, and how to design market rules and government policies that support efficient investment and operating decisions.
We will produce A Road Map for Grid-Scale Storage in low-Carbon Pathways for the UK to 2050, to inform manufacturers, electricity companies and policy-makers of the technological developments, deployment and operating strategies, and policy measures required if storage is to make a full contribution to the low-carbon energy system.
We will produce a large body of trained researchers, including 14 PhD students funded by our own universities, who will be used to working in interdisciplinary teams and with a high level of knowledge of storage technologies, who can move into future posts in industry, government or academia. We will engage with the public, spreading understanding of the contribution that storage technologies can make to a low-carbon future.

| Description | (1) Developed whole-system modelling approach can be used to inform the development of commercial strategies for energy storage, considering energy storage based network support, provision of frequency regulation services, various forms of reserve and energy trading and the ability to displace the need for conventional generation capacity. (1a) Studies carried out on the role of storage and novel methods developed for quantifying the value of storage, in the future UK low carbon system. This provides evidence to Government about the importance of grid scale energy storage for a cost effective transition to low carbon future. (1b) Novel stochastic optimisation model dealing with uncertainty developed to assess the application of storage in managing intermittency of renewable generation. This informs regulators about the inadequacy of the present market arrangements to reward investment that provides flexibility to deal with this uncertainty. (2) New models for control of energy storage developed that take into account degradation effects. This is critical for the practical application of storage and for informing government and industry. (3) Participation in Low Carbon Network Funding demonstration projects. These are high profile demonstration projects, which will for the first time demonstrate that distributed storage could provide multi-services the electricity system. Beneficiaries are UK electricity industry and research organisations involved. (3a) Smarter Network Storage: we are involved in the development of control strategies for distributed energy storage and quantifying conflicts and synergies of different applications; (3b) Customer Led Network Revolution: Development of trials involving six storage batteries of varying capacities (from 100kWh, to 5MWh) and demonstrating the associated network benefits. (4) New battery management systems have been developed to provide a low cost monitoring technique, using impedance measurements without the need for expensive equipment. These can monitor the state of charge and state of health of electrochemical energy storage technologies. (5) Several promising positive electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries have been prepared and solid state NMR carried out. (5a) Na ion adsorption onto pore surfaces, defects and between expanded layers, before pooling into larger quasi-metallic clusters at lower voltages. (5b) Poor cycle performance of Na-O2 batteries linked to the presence of side reaction products that form due to the high reactivity of NaO2. (5c) The confinement of ions in the nanopores of supercapacitor electrodes decreases the self-diffusion coefficient x100. (5d) The concentration of electrolyte and carbon pore distribution influence the diffusion coefficient. (5e) Discovery of new low cost cathode materials. (6) First successful demonstration of a hydrogen-vanadium regenerative fuel cell/flow battery was carried out. (7) A number of patents have been produced on Battery monitoring in electric vehicles, High temperature rechargeable battery, Hydrogen-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery and Regenerative fuel cells. These demonstrate the leading position of UK research in energy storage technologies. (8) Performance tests of carbonate-metal oxide-nanoparticle based TES materials have been carried out. This work has produced four journal papers. (9) Strong International engagement and contribution to key international conferences and workshops on grid-scale energy storage - These activities increase international profile of UK research in grid scale energy storage. |
| Exploitation Route | Advanced whole-system modelling carried out quantifies the benefits of energy storage and can be used by the Government and Regulatory bodies to support the review of market design, based on sound economic arguments for a cost effective transition to a low carbon future, made possible by storage. Manufacturers of energy storage technologies can make use of the findings associated with new designs and materials. The UK electricity industry can develop commercial strategies to encourage, by appropriate rewards, the uptake of storage. Trials help to stimulate the market and investment, by demonstrating the effectiveness of storage and identifying key advantages and issues early on. Research breakthroughs and innovations promote confidence in the UK's technical ability in this area as a world leader, stimulating further development and investment. |

| Description | The Flexibility in Great Britain - project analysed the system-level value of deploying flexibility across the heat, transport, industry and power sectors in Great Britain to provide a robust evidence-base on the role and value of flexibility in the net zero carbon energy system, to drive decision making across the energy sector and government to create technology, policies and business models to realise this vision. |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Contribution to a national consultation/review |
| Impact | Key findings of the analysis are: - Embedding greater flexibility across the entire energy system will reduce the cost of achieving net zero for all consumers while assuring energy security. - Investing in flexibility is a no-regrets decision as it has the potential to deliver material net savings of up to £16.7bn per annum across all scenarios analysed in 2050. - A more flexible system will accelerate the benefits of decarbonisation supported by decentralisation and digitalisation. - To maximise the benefits of flexibility, households and businesses should play an active role in the development and operation of the country's future energy system as energy use for transport, heat and appliances becomes more integrated. - Policymakers should preserve existing flexibility options and act now to maximise future flexibility, such as by building it into 'smart' appliances or building standards. This provided fundamental evidence to BEIS, Ofgem, Climate Change Committee, Innovate UK, National Infrastructure Commission, related to the role and value of flexibility supporting cost effective decarbonisation. Some of the key aspect of flexibility are now included in the Ofgem regulatory framework RIIO ED2 (Revenue = Incentives + Innovation + Outputs; for: Electricity Distribution 2). |

| Title | Data for: Charge/Discharge and Cycling Performance of Flexible Carbon Paper Electrodes in a Regenerative Hydrogen/Vanadium Fuel Cell |
| Description | The regenerative hydrogen/vanadium fuel cell (RHVFC) is investigated with Freudenberg carbon paper electrodes (CPs). Along with thermal treatment, the Freudenberg CPs are also treated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using electrophoretic deposition at 300 V. The rGO modified CP results in 25% higher power density than its untreated counterpart under the same operating conditions. In comparison to the first preliminary study, the power density reported herein is more than four times higher. Additionally, the Freudenberg CPs modified with heat treatment followed by rGO deposition facing the membrane (rGOHTFM) provide the best electrolyte discharge utilization (UE) of 99%, followed by untreated (98%) and heat treated samples (97%) at 50 mA cm-2. The rGOHTFM also record high charge and discharge energy efficiencies (?E) of 93% at the same current density, which is slightly higher than untreated CPs (?E = 91%). Cycling the system 10 times also results in higher ?E and UE for rGOHTFM CP (?E = 92% and UE = 99% on average) in comparison to untreated electrodes (?E = 86% and UE = 97% on average). In comparison the widely investigated SGL 10AA CP has lower efficiencies and utilization as expected (?E = 74% and UE = 83% on average). |

| PI Contribution | Advanced whole-system modelling methodology to quantify the synergies and conflicts in the application of energy storage providing services to multiple markets. The model has been extended, enhancing the modelling capability to assess: (a) the impact of reduced system inertia due to high penetration of renewables, both wind and solar; (b) the impact on degradation of storage on its business case - the importance of these topics was not recognised at the stage of work programme development; (c) the option value of energy storage in the context of network planning under uncertainty; we have investigated and successfully applied Dual Dynamic Stochastic Programming to deal with multiple planning uncertainties; (d) the contribution that storage can generate in providing security contribution in the context of distribution network design, which will inform the review of network design standards. Furthermore, in addition to system focused assessment of value of storage, storage-centric modelling has been developed that maximises the revenue stream / profits of energy storage device providing a range of system services (energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, network support etc.), within particular market design. These two modelling approaches are used to provide evidence regarding the consistency of the particular market design (covering energy and ancillary services market, capacity market, network charges etc.) with the system-wide optimal solutions, in the context of valuing energy storage. Research integration: • Integration of value analysis for energy storage with business case and development of novel commercial arrangements for energy storage. • Meetings with WP3 on modelling of degradation effects of energy storage. • Development of the White Paper "UK Research Needs in Grid Scale Energy Storage Technologies". • Interaction with "Integrated Market-fit and Affordable Grid-scale Energy Storage (IMAGES)" - sharing of insights. • Interaction with HubNet - providing insights regarding the role of storage in future electricity grids. • Interaction with Grand Challenge on Autonomic Power Systems - distributed storage and decentralised system operation. • Interaction with wholeSEM project - development of models to quantify the value of flexibility in low carbon electricity systems. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Durham University - Statistical Techniques for Stochastic Valuation of Storage: This work has focused on investigating alternative methods for quantifying option value of energy storage in the context of network planning under uncertainty. The initial modeling has been very successfully completed - new insights about the value of storage providing flexibility in dealing with uncertainty. We will hence extend the investigations and consider the application of Dual Dynamic Stochastic Programming to deal with planning uncertainties. Imperial College Business School - Incentives for Storage Operating and Investment Decisions: We have modelled the interaction between investment in storage and in generation when both are driven by market prices. Preliminary results have been presented at conferences and the model is being extended to include the role of storage in providing reserve. This work differs from that done by Imperial College London, which uses a cost-optimising model rather calculating market prices and agents' responses to them. |
| Impact | Whole systems modelling methodology developed to quantify the synergies and conflicts in the application of energy storage providing services to multiple markets, able to account for uncertainty and including stochastic network planning. Development of novel analytical and statistical techniques for stochastic characterisation and valuation of storage technologies. Investigation of storage providers' response to the complex incentives from energy markets and government policies. |

We will hence extend the investigations and consider the application of Dual Dynamic Stochastic Programming to deal with planning uncertainties. Imperial College Business School - Incentives for Storage Operating and Investment Decisions: We have modelled the interaction between investment in storage and in generation when both are driven by market prices. Preliminary results have been presented at conferences and the model is being extended to include the role of storage in providing reserve. This work differs from that done by Imperial College London, which uses a cost-optimising model rather calculating market prices and agents' responses to them. |
| Impact | Whole systems modelling methodology developed to quantify the synergies and conflicts in the application of energy storage providing services to multiple markets, able to account for uncertainty and including stochastic network planning. Development of novel analytical and statistical techniques for stochastic characterisation and valuation of storage technologies. Investigation of storage providers' response to the complex incentives from energy markets and government policies. |

| Results and Impact | As the recent VW scandal reminds us, the exhaust from petrol and, in particular, diesel cars are damaging our health. So what can science do to help? Jim Al-Khalili invites three scientists into the studio to explain how their research or technology could help reduce pollution from dirty car exhausts. Professor of Chemistry, Tony Ryan makes the case for smart materials that absorb noxious gases. If only everyone could treat their jeans with nanoparticles that that clean up the air as they walk around town. Professor Clare Grey and her team are working on the next generation of batteries for electric cars. And engineer, Bernard Porter is a champion of hydrogen fuel cells. So, which technology is best designed to help us reduce air pollution in our cities? Who deserves the lion's share of Jim's imaginary pot of research funding to help us tackle this problem? |
