Welcome
Session One
The International and Regional Strategic Nature of
Energy Storage
Session Two
How can NI Maximise Opportunities in Intelligent
Energy and Energy Storage?
But first, a look at the emerging energy storage /
intelligent energy landscape in NI.....
3. • DETI Minister Arlene Foster has launched MATRIX Sustainable Energy market foresight report
• Identified Intelligent Energy Systems as a highly attractive future global market for NI industry
• Recommends increased use of interconnection, energy storage and demand side management
• A dedicated delivery vehicle being formed to grasp first mover advantage and secure exports
• NI would become an “early adopter” commercial reference site for intelligent energy systems
• Delivery vehicle will be an essential enabler if NI is to strongly bid for future funding, such as...
• Horizon 2020 and Energy Systems Catapult – an industry led research centre
SENSE
• Formed by emerging energy storage supply
chain companies and pro-active end users...
• to identify how suitable energy storage
technologies can be used to solve
transitional electrical system problems
• Initial storage vector focus on batteries,
Isothermal Compressed Air and H2/NH3
production through electrolysis
• Initial market application focus on wind
farms, micro-grids, large consumers and
existing system support.
• High priority on demonstration projects
LECALE DSU
• Forming soon to develop NI’s first micro-grid
• Community involvement through DDFFRE
• Centred on Bishopscourt former RAF base
• Using SEM model for Demand Side Units
• Aiming to be self-sufficient in electricity
• Aiming to be a net exporter of electricity
• Approximately 70 more micro-grids in NI
• Use of wind, solar PV, AD, tidal and NH3
• Shared micro-grid benefits to reduce the
need for ROCs on individual generators
• 300 houses + EVs as a captive customer base
• New 33kV substation + Energy Storage Park
