Abstract

The SmartHubs Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES) demonstrator project consists of several electrical and thermal energy generation and storage assets, that can be controlled from a central controller. A high-level aim of the project is to explore and quantify benefits that can be achieved by operating multiple energy assets together in order to meet a common objective (e.g. reducing the carbon intensity of energy). In this paper we outline the approach taken to modelling the operation of the SmartHubs demonstrator project, in the particular context of a publicly funded project, accounting for the differing needs of the various stakeholders. The work develops: three modelling scenarios that capture two baselines and stakeholder values and motivations; a framework for describing flexibility; and templates for eliciting the required information for modelling from the project partners.
