This study uses Agent-Based Modelling to analyse the adoption of District Heating (DH) networks in the commercial sector. It examines the impact of financial incentives and policy changes, demonstrating varied responses based on organizational Social Value Orientations. The findings emphasize the need for targeted policy interventions to accelerate...
This study employs an agent-based model to examine the adoption of District Heating Networks (DHNs) in heat zoning areas, focusing on the impact of three policy interventions, subsidy, tax and mandating connections. Analysing a case in South Yorkshire, UK, the research highlights a notable synergy in policies, with a combined £25.5 million from sub...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading enables households to trade electricity with one another, rather than just with their supplier. This can help to incentivise the shifting of electrical loads to align with local renewable generation, which leads to decreased dependence on grid electricity and can bring financial savings for households. P2P is expec...
Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOCs) offer the prospect of long term bulk energy storage using hydrogen or methane fuel. Whilst less mature than alkaline and PEM fuel cell/electrolysis technology, solid oxide cells offer superior efficiency: as high as 80–90%LHV at system level. Furthermore, the possibility of using the cells reversibly means that...
Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOCs) offer the prospect of long term bulk energy storage using hydrogen or methane fuel. Solid oxide technology, whilst less mature than alkaline and PEM technology, offers superior conversion efficiency - especially for electrolysis. Furthermore, the possibility of using the cells reversibly means that separate ‘pow...
The majority of heat in the UK comes from the combustion of natural gas, and heat is responsible for 37% of the nation’s carbon emissions. Thus the decarbonisation of heat is a major challenge. Electrification is one possible approach to decarbonisation; however, huge increases in the electrical grid’s generation and transmission capacity would be...
