摘要

Abstract

In transition towards net-zero carbon emissions

a high penetration of renewable power generation and electrification of heat and transport at the grid edge will increase total and peak power consumption significantly with greater uncertainties

thus posing serious challenges to electric power systems. Smart local energy systems

which manage distributed energy resources locally with various smart technologies and commercial arrangements

are one of the promising solutions to this problem. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the practice of local energy systems in the UK in the context of net-zero transition. At the macro level

local conditions

local businesses

profitability

investment and whole electricity system impacts of local energy systems are reviewed. Then

a practical case in North Wales

is analyzed for demonstrating technical

commercial and regulatory arrangements available and needed for setting up a local energy system practice. Implications are summarized for providing a useful reference for developing smart local energy systems within and beyond the UK.
