1 Energy Systems Catapult Whole Systems Approaches for UK Energy Sector Transformation Nick Winser - Chairman

2 The Energy Systems Catapult launched in April Vision: 1 st April Enable Britain to be a global leader in new products and services for energy systems by exploiting the opportunity created by the transformation of Britain s Energy Systems Scope: Heat, Combustible Gases and Electricity Networks; Integration, Interoperability System design, Communications, Data, Analytics, Digital, Cyber security, M2M, Power electronics, Decision tools, Efficiency, Customer engagement; Business models, Market mechanisms Target: Stimulate UK economic growth. > 6billion value & 9,000 new jobs across the UK energy sector by 2030 Target: 9,000 new jobs

3 Developing expertise, making it available via themed programmes and projects Catapult Expertise Whole Systems Approaches Systems Integration Customers SMEs, New entrants Operators, T1 T2 Supply chain Community programmes Local authorities, Energy suppliers, ESCo s, Government, Investors, Other Catapults Themed Programmes Heat Localised Energy Systems (TBC) DSR (TBC) Integrated Storage (TBC) Advanced Controls (TBC) Services / Projects Feasibility, Market planning, Datasets, Modelling, Simulation Test, Prototyping, Demonstrators Standards, Convening Projects

4 Demand for whole systems approaches Multiple UK energy innovation projects but few new products and services coming to market Transformation programmes stuttering, false starts, changing views for solving the energy trilemma UK has a complex energy system Decision makers lack comprehensive evidence based understanding of how UK energy system can transform.

5 The Outlook Credit: National Grid

7 Cluster A Cluster B Higher TRLs Lower TRLs Able to be deployed by incumbents High political attention Very large, lumpy costs New players needed Lower political attention Distributed, incremental spend pattern Politically contentious Potential to reduce bills Raise customers bills No track record for deployment Track record of slow progress Required for Cluster A to work Hitting targets looks unlikely Less risk Cannot work as an integrated system without Cluster B More short term impact potential Need both A and B to deliver succession goals

9 Whatever the Direction of Travel, systems integration is fundamental to success Introducing new technology based solutions requires complex, multi layered systems integration (SI) SI includes market mechanisms, business models, consumer engagement and operations. The Catapult is developing a flexible SI architecture to support rapid, complex, efficient and cost saving change

11 The Catapult s initial themed programme is focused on Heat... 1 st April Opportunity: Space and water heating in UK homes is much greater than total electricity consumption. Peak demand for energy delivered by gas is 6x s peak electricity demand Heat networks and electrification of heat present technical solution The target: >20% reduction in 350bn DECC estimate to decarbonise UK local heating by 2050 Working closely with the Energy Technologies Institute s (ETI) Smart System and Heat Programme Phase 1: Develop tools enabling Local Authorities to design / implement low carbon energy systems Phase 2: Validate with up to 3 large scale trials (1,000 s of buildings): Manchester, Newcastle, Bridgend Target: 9,000 new jobs

12 Energy Systems Catapult over the next 12 months Work with experts in whole systems approaches across academia, industry, Government and research organisation to enable a consolidated evidence base to inform a direction of travel for UK energy systems transformation SI Architecture validation via sector consultation Focus on Heat, working closely with the ETI s Smart Systems and Heat Programme. Analysis and sector consultation to identify Themes and develop Programme engagement model. Developing Capability: Whole Systems Approaches Systems Integration Architecture Themed Programmes: Heat Integration of Storage, DSR, Local Energy Systems, Advanced Controls (?)
