Cross-Vector Energy Hubs can leverage the flexibility of both Electrical and Gas technologies to support the electricity system and release grid capacity via coordination of these parallel energy vectors. The project builds and demonstrates a planning and simulation toolset that evaluates the Cross-Vector Energy Hub, allowing both DNOs and prospective Energy Hub developers/owners to simulate the coordination of electrical and gas technology components. The toolset models the control of device portfolios as configured by user, quantifying the value of constraint-limitation and feasible device coordination (_technical_), which can then feed into assessment of the commercial value for such coordination (_economic_).

Peterborough Integrated Renewables Infrastructure (PIRI) is a ground-breaking and innovative design that will address common problems relating to low carbon energy provisions, supporting sustainable growth and future expansion challenges within cities across electrification, mobility and heat provision. By integrating these three elements, our design will maximise low carbon energy exploitation, accelerate low carbon technology adoption and optimise the overarching energy system, providing an investment ready project that can be fully replicated for the benefit of other authorities and municipalities.

To embed new testing techniques in support of ongoing product development and sales into the rapidly expanding Smart Grid marketplace.
