There is no doubt that renewable generation and other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are seen as one of the main ways to realize sustainable energy systems (Hu et al., 2021), as well as help provide energy to remote, off-grid, communities. Over time, these can be integrated to support each other and form the wider community distribution energy networks, while becoming integrated or helping build more complex interconnected energy systems. Typically, electricity markets are seen as a way forward to enable novel technical solutions, and market designs at both transmission and distribution/local levels need to evolve as the energy systems shift towards the low carbon technologies. Given the variability nature associated with these resources, provision of flexibility services that can help with balancing variability of renewable generation and support secure system operation, while lowering costs associated with integration and connections of these technologies, are becoming crucial. This increases as the solar and wind resources continue to grow in importance and numbers. In addition, zero marginal cost associated with these resources, as well as their inter-temporal operational technical constraints, may pose serious challenges for conventional electricity market designs in the future electricity systems, and significant work has been carried out to understand and develop adequate mechanisms to enable participation of DERs in such markets. This includes utilization of different market designs and concepts such as Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) management of flexibility services provided by various DERs. As such, this research study will evaluate the Novel Design and Analysis of Electricity Markets and Flexibility Ancillary Services in Low Carbon Energy Systems.The proposed project is largely motivated by the need to enable and facilitate provision of fallibility services that can help with balancing variability of renewable generation and support secure system operation while lowering costs associated with integration and connections of these technologies. In addition, the solutions also need to provide revenue opportunities to investors in novel technologies, as well as various political jurisdictions committed to deeply decarbonize energy systems in order to mitigate against the potential risks associated with the climate change. For such decarbonized energy systems, significant portion of the energy needs will be supplied by the DERs. Moreover, the project will seek to investigate how such bottom-up approach, seeking to support electrification in rural areas in developing countries such as Kenya, can help develop and improving power systems with weak networks and enable gradual integration of off-grid community systems.

毫无疑问，可再生能源和其他分布式能源资源（DER）被视为实现可持续能源系统的主要方法之一（Hu等，2021），并帮助为偏远，离网社区提供能源。随着时间的流逝，这些可以集成以互相支持并形成更广泛的社区分销能源网络，同时融合或帮助建立更复杂的互连能源系统。通常，电力市场被视为启用新型技术解决方案的前进的道路，随着能源系统向低碳技术的转移，传输和分销/本地水平的市场设计都需要发展。鉴于与这些资源相关的可变性性质，提供灵活性服务，可以帮助平衡可再生生成和支持安全系统操作的可变性，同时降低与这些技术的集成和连接相关的成本，这变得至关重要。随着太阳能和风资源的重要性和数量继续增长，这会增加。此外，与这些资源相关的零边际成本及其时间间的运营技术限制，可能会对未来的电力系统中的传统电力市场设计构成严重的挑战，并且已经进行了重要的工作，以理解和发展适当的机制，以使DERS参与此类市场。这包括利用不同的市场设计和概念，例如虚拟发电厂（VPP）管理各种DER提供的灵活性服务。因此，这项研究将评估电力市场的新设计和分析以及低碳能源系统中的灵活性辅助服务。拟议的项目在很大程度上是出于需要并促进可违规服务的需要，从而可以帮助提供可再生生成的可变性和支持安全系统运营的可变性，同时降低与这些技术相关联的连接和连接这些技术的连接。此外，解决方案还需要为新技术的投资者以及致力于深层脱碳能源系统的各种政治管辖区提供收入机会，以减轻与气候变化相关的潜在风险。对于这种脱碳能力系统，DERS将提供大部分能量需求。此外，该项目将寻求调查这种自下而上的方法如何支持肯尼亚等发展中国家农村地区的电气化，可以帮助发展和改善网络薄弱的电力系统，并能够逐步整合离网社区系统的逐步整合。
