Centre for Energy Systems Integration

Description	The research in CESI is beginning to have an impact in Industry and Government in the UK and internationally and future energy research funding. Through the work of CESI, the UK is moving away from segregated energy vectors that operate in isolation, and towards a more 'whole systems' approach to energy management. Our research has fed into business plans from Northern Gas Networks, has influenced decision-making within BEIS and Ofgem and is changing how the UK Distribution Network Operators view and manage their networks. Ofgem now require whole systems planning from network operators and require considerations for investments in electricity, heat, gas and transport vectors (see Ofgem RIIO-S Business Plan guidance - https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/riio-2-business-plans-guidance-document). Northern Gas Network's whole systems strategy for Ofgem identifies how the transmission operator will enable whole systems solutions in its business (see https://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/A14-NGN-RIIO-2-Our-Whole-Systems-Strategy.pdf). CESI is helping shape the future of energy research in the UK. UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has recently published two reports giving an analysis of the UK's existing research landscape (https://www.ukri.org/files/infrastructure/landscape-analysis-final-web-version/) and identifying opportunities to grow the UK's research and innovation infrastructure capacity (https://www.ukri.org/files/infrastructure/the-uks-research-and-innovation-infrastructure-opportunities-to-grow-our-capacity-final-low-res/) in the period to 2030. These reports make recommendations across six broad research sectors (including energy) identified as key to ensuring the UK remains a global leader. A multi-disciplinary CESI team of researchers from Newcastle University led by Prof Phil Taylor were commissioned by UKRI to consult with the energy community in industry and academia. An important finding from initial consultations was that opportunities to grow future energy research and innovation infrastructure could be classified in seven key themes: Whole energy systems; fuel cells and hydrogen; energy storage; renewable energy sources; alternative fuels; nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage. Our findings and recommendations across these themes are included in the published reports. Of particular relevance to CESI are the recommendations for the whole energy systems theme. These include a new interdisciplinary centre for excellence in energy analysis integration and a decarbonisation of heat demonstrator. CESI research on blockchain has been widely cited nationally and internationally, including by the US Congressional Research Office for a strategic policy briefing to US Congress. The August 2019 US Congress strategic report "Bitcoin, Blockchain and the Energy Sector"( https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45863 ), cited the CESI journal paper "Blockchain Technology in the Energy Sector: A systematic review of challenges and opportunities", published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.10.014). This paper is the most downloaded article in this top-ranked energy journal (IF 10.5). This paper has already received over 160 citations since its publication in February 2019. Professor Karen Turner, Director of University of Strathclyde's Centre for Energy Policy, is PI of a project funded in our first flexible funding call: Modelling the distribution of costs from network upgrades for electric vehicles (EVs) (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/cesi/cesiflexfund/firstcesiflexfundprojects/turn/). Working with Scottish Power Energy Network (SPEN), the project team investigated who would ultimately pay for the cost of upgrading the power network to facilitate the intended rollout of EVs. The project team found that EV uptake has positive impacts for all household incomes and results in increases in GDP and employment. One key finding from the research was that the investment in the electricity network needed to support a 20% uptake in electric vehicles would create 3,000 new jobs. This contributed to a £7.5 million project commissioned by the Scottish Government, following its announcement for accelerated targets to remove the need for carbon emitting cars by 2030 (https://www.gov.scot/news/more-electric-vehicle-charging-points/). The findings of the CESI-funded research are published in Energy Policy (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2019.111117). We have helped Siemens win a large Whole Systems project at Keele University.

Description	Ofgem and Northern Gas Networks - Whole systems approach
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health
Impact	Through the work of CESI, the UK is moving from away from segregated energy vectors that operate in isolation, and towards a more 'whole systems' approach to energy management. Our research has fed into business plans from Northern Gas Networks, has influenced decision-making within BEIS and Ofgem, and is changing how the UK Distribution Network Operators view and manage their networks. For the UK to move towards a secure, reliable, and renewable-friendly energy system, it is vital that we move beyond electricity and consider the integration and interdependencies of heat, gas and transport systems. This is the underlying rationale for CESI, and we have been pushing forward this view with BEIS and Ofgem over three years during industrial advisory board meetings, through consultation responses and in private meetings with Ofgem. To make the case for taking a whole systems approach to Ofgem, we used results from the modelling and simulation of coupled gas and electricity networks and used the research carried out on the full-scale gas and electricity demonstrator, InTEGReL. CESI developed the simulation tools over a period of two years, with models populated with data from industry and real-world cases. Recently Ofgem responded to this by explicitly insisting that the gas and electricity distribution operators make it clear in their GD2 and ED2 plans under the RIIO framework how they are plan to take a whole systems approach in order to deliver value for customers and assist the low carbon transition (see Ofgem RIIO-S Business Plan Guidance - https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/riio-2-business-plans-guidance-document). This has changed the approach of Ofgem and the network operators: Ofgem now ask for whole systems planning from network operators and require considerations for investments in electricity, heat, gas and transport vectors. Prior to this they only considered one vector in isolation. These investments are estimated to be in the billions of pounds in the next decade. This is evidenced in Northern Gas Network's (NGN) whole systems strategy for Ofgem (https://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/A14-NGN-RIIO-2-Our-Whole-Systems-Strategy.pdf) , which forms a section of its business plan for the next price control, Revenue=Incentives+Innovation+Outputs 2 (RIIO-2). In line with Ofgem guidance, this business plan includes information on NGN's whole systems strategy (https://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/A14-NGN-RIIO-2-Our-Whole-Systems-Strategy.pdf, identifying how the transmission system operator (TSO) will enable whole systems solutions in its business. CESI helped NGN to write this strategy, which is heavily influenced by the Centre's research into whole energy systems. CESI Director, Prof Phil Taylor, provided a letter for support for NGN's whole systems approach. In this, he cited the importance of CESI collaborative research projects undertaken with NGN. Of particular relevance here are those undertaken at the CESI demonstrator, InTEGReL, for example exploring multi-vector control rooms of the future and the use of hydrogen and coupled electrical and gas distribution networks. Through these projects it has been possible to demonstrate the value of taking a whole systems approach and the resulting long-term customer benefits.

Impact	CESI is also helping shape the future of energy research in the UK. UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has recently published two reports giving an analysis of the UK's existing research landscape (https://www.ukri.org/files/infrastructure/landscape-analysis-final-web-version/) and identifying opportunities to grow the UK's research and innovation infrastructure capacity (https://www.ukri.org/files/infrastructure/the-uks-research-and-innovation-infrastructure-opportunities-to-grow-our-capacity-final-low-res/) in the period to 2030. These reports make recommendations across six broad research sectors (including energy) identified as key to ensuring the UK remains a global leader. A multi-disciplinary CESI team of researchers from Newcastle University led by Prof Phil Taylor were commissioned by UKRI to consult with the energy community. The extensive consultation process involved four facilitated workshops, two questionnaires and over 100 one-to-one interviews with energy experts from industry and academia. An important finding from initial consultations was that opportunities to grow future energy research and innovation infrastructure could be classified in seven key themes: Whole energy systems; fuel cells and hydrogen; energy storage; renewable energy sources; alternative fuels; nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage. Our findings and recommendations across these themes are included in the published reports. The Landscape Analysis report provides a snapshot view of existing energy infrastructure, of regional, national and international importance. The Opportunities to Grow our Capacity report makes recommendations for progressing the energy themes and highlighted case studies for each. The CESI Demonstrator, InTEGReL (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/cesi/research/demo/integrel/), is referenced on several occasions in this report as an example of the type of facility needed in future and in the case study for demonstrating a whole-systems approach to UK energy use. Of particular relevance to CESI are the recommendations for the whole energy systems theme. These include a new interdisciplinary centre for excellence in energy analysis integration and a decarbonisation of heat demonstrator.

Title	Integration of economy-wide and whole system methods
Description	Over the last couple of years the CEP team has been developing expertise and capacity in applying dynamic economic systems modelling approaches to complement and add value to energy systems analyses in considering energy challenges in both a public policy and 'whole systems' context. Since our 2015 launch, this has involved developing the type of multi-sector economy-wide computable general equilibrium (CGE) models (used for policy evaluation by national policy actors such as HM Treasury, Scottish Government and international ones such as the World Bank and OECD) for economic system analyses of energy policy actions. This has primarily been via an EPSRC 'Working with the [EUED] Centres (grant ref: EP/M00760X/1 - working with CIED, University of Sussex), where the modelling focus is on the economic system side via CGE model development. We have begun the process of considering how our Scottish and UK CGE models may interact with TIMES energy system models via two Scottish Government ClimateXChange (CXC) fellowships held by the CIs Figus and Calvillo. To date, this has been in the context of energy efficiency. Through this flexible funded project we have made novel developments in interacting CGE and TIMES models - largely limited in the existing literature to higher level macroeconomic impacts (e.g. GDP) triggered by and/or driving energy system changes - at a sectoral and market level.

Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	Throughout the project on Modelling the distribution of cost from networks upgrades for electric vehicles (SPEN) we have collaborated with SP Energy Network (SPEN) Strategic Stakeholder Group. This collaboration has developed through our shared aim to develop on respective previous works by SPEN (on estimating likely impacts of infrastructure development on consumer bills) and our Strathclyde Centre for Energy Policy (CEP) work (funded through the EPSRC H2FC Hub, Grant Ref: EP/J016454/1) on potential wider supply chain impacts of hydrogen and other EV solutions. Our contribution to the collaboration involved investigating and providing key insights on who would ultimately pay for the cost of upgrading the power network to facilitate the intended rollout of EVs. We investigate the nature, extent and distribution of a range of potential wider economy returns (including key political economy indicators such as jobs and GDP) resulting from different levels of investment to support the projected EV roll-out (given varying extents of smart centralised charging systems). This is set in the context of energy indsutries aiming to deliver required infrastucture to enable the EV roll out and the transition of the UK's transport system.
Collaborator Contribution	SPEN are keen to see their work challenged and extended in an independent academic research context, and to learn how they can realise internal value through engaging with public policy research. SPEN's contribution have included discussing and challenging the modelling assumptions to ensure that our analysis is robust
Impact	Policy brief paper, titled, Who Ultimately Pays for and Who Gains from the Electricity Network Upgrade for EVs? Journal paper, titled, Can spending to upgrade electricity networks to support electric vehicles (EVs) roll-outs unlock value in the wider economy?

Results and Impact	At this launch event, we held a very constructive workshop consulting our Industrial Partners (47 representatives from these organisations) on what they see as the key challenges of energy systems integration. We collated the findings and grouped these under the broad headings of Affordability, Security, Sustainability, Societal, Operational and Policy. One strong outcome from the feedback is the need for a literature review to provide a 'state of the art' understanding to use as a starting point for our project. This is already a key early deliverable of the Centre and each work package will deliver a specific review. Horizon scanning exercises will also be carried out as preparation for the first co-evolution cycle. From the outputs of this and our ISAB meeting, we will introduce multi-vector, multi-disciplinary working at the very outset of the Centre's research by kick-starting our collaboration with a defined programme of seven Task and Finish groups. These are based on the academic and industrial partner suggestions, and with consultation with our ISAB. These short term projects will bring together different academic and industrial partners to address critical challenges/opportunities within the energy system with delivery over the next 3 to 6 months.

Results and Impact	This event brought together the Centre's directorate with the members of our International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) to establish the scientific and technical gaps in our collective knowledge, to set the initial focus of the project and to ensure that our activities are both relevant and timely. The ISAB members contributed by providing the Board with their thoughts on what they felt to be the 'state of the art' whole system analysis and where they believe the gaps currently were in this field. While the majority of ISAB travelled to Newcastle (from the EU) for the event, our members from the USA and Singapore, teleconferenced in. This meant all our industrial scientific advisors contributed to the discussions. The Centre's research strategy was discussed in detail and suggestions for improvement and evolution proposed.

Results and Impact	Attended conference and was a disscussant on Panel discussion on one of the Whole Energy System sessions. 3rd Annual Conference combines our strands of thinking that try to model the future energy pathways under uncertainty where the demands of policy makers and indeed the framing of the issues are in flux. Main Themes: 1. Integrating society within energy systems modelling Capturing societal preferences and iterative actions within energy modelling frameworks is a key challenge to understand the evolving energy transition. 2. Wider drivers, impacts and unintended consequences Broadening the scope of energy modelling to include wider geographical drivers, to link to other technical, economic and physical systems, and to introduce new disciplinary viewpoints is a key challenge. 3. Strategic vs. incremental investment under policy uncertainty Assessing the trade-offs between long-term, (likely) high upfront cost, (possibly) irreversible investments with short term priorities and constraints, is a key challenge in an energy transition with incomplete and inconsistent policy framing.
