Supergen Energy Networks hub 2018

项目摘要

Energy networks are vitally important enablers for the UK energy sector and therefore UK industry and society. The energy trilemma (energy security, environmental impact and social cost) presents many complex interconnected challenges which reach beyond the UK and have huge relevance internationally. These challenges vary considerably from region to region, and change as a result of technology and society changes. Therefore, the planning, design and operation of energy networks needs to be revisited and optimised. Current energy networks research does not fully embrace a whole systems approach and is therefore not developing a deep enough understanding of the interconnected and interdependent nature of energy network infrastructure.The Supergen Energy Networks Hub will provide leadership, a core research programme and mechanisms/funding for the energy networks community to grow and come together to develop this deeper understanding and explore opportunities to shape energy networks which are fit for the future. The research component of the Hub's activities comprises an interconnected and complementary series of work packages. The work packages are: WP1: Understanding, Shaping and Challenging; WP2: Energy Network Infrastructure; WP3: ICT and Data; WP4: Policy and Society; WP5: Markets and Regulation; WP6: Risk and Uncertainty. WP1 incorporates a co-evolutionary approach and brings the other work packages together in a structured way. WP2 is the backbone of the research, dealing with the physical infrastructure in a multi vector manner from the outset. WP3 to WP6 deal with aspects of energy networks that cut across, and are equally valid, for all vectors and have the ability to integrate and modernise network infrastructures. All work packages will consider both planning and design as well as operational aspects. Experimental work and demonstrators will be essential to progress in energy networks research and the Hub will bring these facilities to bear through WP1.The Hub will engage with the energy networks communities throughout the research programme, to ensure that the work is informed by best practice and that the findings are widely visible and understood.The main objectives of the communication and engagement activities will be to ensure the energy networks academic community are connected and coherent, and that their work has a high profile and deep level of understanding in the relevant Industrial, Governmental and Societal communities both nationally and internationally. This will maximise the chances of high impact outcomes in the energy networks space as well as promoting energy networks as an exciting and dynamic area to carry out research, thus attracting the brightest minds to get involved.Communication and engagement activities will be a constant feature of the Hub and will be particularly energetic during the first twelve months in order to rapidly establish a brand, and an open and supportive culture within the relevant communities. Engagement activities will as far as possible be carried out in conjunction with other key organisations in the energy space, to maximise the value of the engagement activities. The Hub aims to become a beacon for equality, diversity and inclusion. Our mission is to enhance equality of opportunity and create a positive, flourishing, safe and inclusive environment for everyone associated with the Hub, from staff, students, Advisory Board members and general Hub representation (at conferences, workshops and reviews). We recognise the need and the challenges to support early career researchers, and improve the balance of protected characteristics across the entire Hub community, such as race or ethnicity, gender reassignment, disability, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief, pregnancy or maternity status, marital status or socio-economic background.

能源网络是英国能源行业乃至英国工业和社会至关重要的推动者。能源三难困境（能源安全、环境影响和社会成本）带来了许多复杂的相互关联的挑战，这些挑战不仅限于英国，而且在国际上具有巨大的相关性。这些挑战因地区而异，并因技术和社会变化而变化。因此，能源网络的规划、设计和运营需要重新审视和优化。当前的能源网络研究并未完全采用整体系统方法，因此没有对能源网络基础设施的互连和相互依存性质有足够深入的了解。Supergen 能源网络中心将为以下项目提供领导力、核心研究计划和机制/资金：能源网络社区不断成长，齐心协力，加深理解，探索塑造适合未来的能源网络的机会。该中心活动的研究部分包括一系列相互关联且互补的工作包。工作包包括： WP1：理解、塑造和挑战； WP2：能源网络基础设施； WP3：信息通信技术和数据； WP4：政策与社会； WP5：市场与监管； WP6：风险和不确定性。 WP1 采用了共同进化的方法，并以结构化的方式将其他工作包整合在一起。 WP2 是该研究的支柱，从一开始就以多向量方式处理物理基础设施。 WP3 至 WP6 涉及能源网络的各个方面，这些方面跨越所有向量，并且对于所有向量同样有效，并且具有集成和现代化网络基础设施的能力。所有工作包都将考虑规划和设计以及运营方面。实验工作和演示对于能源网络研究的进展至关重要，该中心将在 WP1 期间利用这些设施。该中心将在整个研究计划中与能源网络社区合作，以确保工作以最佳实践和研究结果得到广泛关注和理解。交流和参与活动的主要目标是确保能源网络学术界相互联系和一致，并确保他们的工作在相关工业、国家和社会的政府和社会团体国际上。这将最大限度地提高能源网络领域取得高影响力成果的机会，并促进能源网络成为一个令人兴奋和充满活力的研究领域，从而吸引最聪明的人才参与其中。沟通和参与活动将成为能源网络的一个持续特征。该中心将在前 12 个月内特别充满活力，以便在相关社区内快速建立品牌以及开放和支持性的文化。参与活动将尽可能与能源领域的其他关键组织联合开展，以最大化参与活动的价值。该中心旨在成为平等、多样性和包容性的灯塔。我们的使命是促进机会平等，为与中心相关的每个人（包括工作人员、学生、顾问委员会成员和一般中心代表（在会议、研讨会和审查中））创造一个积极、繁荣、安全和包容的环境。我们认识到支持早期职业研究人员的必要性和挑战，并改善整个中心社区受保护特征的平衡，例如种族或族裔、性别重新分配、残疾、性别、性取向、年龄、宗教或信仰、怀孕或生育状况、婚姻状况或社会经济背景。
