SUMMARY:Hydrogen Storage In Caverns 2022
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATIONS AND VIDEO FROM HYDROGEN STORAGE IN CAVERNS 14 MARCH 2022 HELD AT GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY\, LONDON \nTOWARDS NET ZERO\nEnergy storage is going to be absolutely central to the timely achievement of Net Zero. That storage will have to be applied over a vast spectrum of times ranging from fractions of a second to many months – and possibly more than a year. \nStoring pure hydrogen in caverns has a vital role to play in this\, because the transformations from primary energy to hydrogen and back to usable energy are so relatively straightforward. \nThis event\, which took place at the Geological Society in London on Monday 14 March 2022\, set out to explore some of the key challenges involved in deploying the necessary amounts of hydrogen storage in caverns. \nEvent Summary\nThe event started with a keynote review of just how much hydrogen storage we are likely to need in the UK – many tens of TWh worth and possibly more. The workshop will examine: \n\nHow hydrogen storage blends with large-scale compressed air energy storage and other thermo-mechanical energy storage solutions much better suited to shorter timescales than hydrogen.\nThe potential in the UK for making salt caverns to store hydrogen\nThe technical challenges of storing hydrogen in caverns\nExamination of case studies of hydrogen storage in caverns \n\nThe workshop concluded with a panel session comprising experts from academia and industry. \nYou may also be interested in our Medium Duration Energy Storage event?\nWe also held a Medium Duration Energy Storage event at the Institution for Mechanical Engineers on Wednesday 16th March. If you are interested in the discussions that took place at this event\, and to view the presentations and video\, visit the page. \nMedium Duration Energy Storage web-page \nEvent Sponsors\nThis event was run by the University of Nottingham in conjunction with our sponsors\, the Geological Society\, the Supergen for Energy Storage\, The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Supergen\, and the Energy Research Accelerator. \n \nEvent Presentations\nWelcome and Introductions: Tom Bent\, Chair\, Independent Energy Market Consultant \nPart 1: Video presentations of Deep KBB\, Birmingham University\, Gravitricity and Arup \nRe-tasking methane cavities for H2 – Rene Schneider\, Deep KBB GmbH  \nThe need for H2 storage – Dr. Grant Wilson from Birmingham University  \nHydrogen Storage in Underground Lined Rock Shafts – Dr. Anastasios Stavrou from ARUP \nPart 2: Video presentations of Atkins and Teeside University \nHydrogen Storage in Underground Lined Rock Shafts – Sally Molyneux from Gravitricity \nUtilising public data for identifying offshore salt strata and developing salt caverns for storing hydrogen – Dr. Georgios Yfantis \nHydrogen geological storage in saline aquifer and depleted gas reservoirs – Dr Sina Gomari\, Teeside University \nPart 3: Video presentations of UCL\, SSE & Equinor\, BGS and University of British Columbia \nThe value of hydrogen storage in the UK’s net-zero emissions energy system – Dr. James Price from UCL  \nHydrogen in the Humber: Creating one of the world’s largest hydrogen storage facilities at Aldbrough – Michael Gillatt\, Director of Gas Storage\, SSE &  Dr. Silvan Hoth\, Equinor \nSSE Thermal and Equinor: Hydrogen storage at Aldbrough (vimeo.com) \nGeology as an enabler and barrier to underground hydrogen storage- Research questions – Dr. Ed Hough from BGS \nElectrolysis at elevated pressures – suited to charging caverns – Professor Walter Merida from University of British Colombia \nPanel session: Video featuring Professor Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith (Oxford University)\, Sarah Kimpton (DNV)\, Georgina Morris (BEIS)

SUMMARY:Medium Duration Energy Storage 2022
DESCRIPTION:Presentations and video from Medium-Duration Energy Storage\, which took place on 16th March 2022 at IMechE\, LondonThe importance of Medium Duration Energy Storage As the UK decarbonises its economy\, offshore wind turbines and solar PV panels will deliver increasingly larger fractions of the country’s energy demand.  \nEnergy storage will become one of the main mechanisms to maintain a balance between electricity generation and demand in a renewable-dominated electricity grid.  \nEnergy storage will be required over a vast range of discharge times\, going from milliseconds up to several months.   \nThis event\, which took place at IMechE in London\, focused on the medium duration range (between 4 to 200 hrs)\, which is best handled by thermo-mechanical solutions.   \nThe event brought together academics\, industrial stakeholders\, and policy makers together to discuss:   \n\nwhat is the extent of the role for medium duration energy storage? \nwhat are some of the current blockers? \nwhat new policies are required to support the deployment of medium duration storage technologies.  \n\nYou may also be interested in our Hydrogen Storage in Caverns eventWe also held a hydrogen Storage in Caverns event at the Geological Society in London on Monday 14th March 2022.

SUMMARY:Grid Inertia 2022
DESCRIPTION:Inertia and Grid Forming webinar \nInertia is a vital component of a stable electricity grid. Momentary imbalances between supply and demand are an inherent part of a flexible network\, occur on time scales where prime mover adjustment is infeasible\, and must be accounted for is reliable operation is to be achieved. In the thermal plant dominated grids of the past it was the kinetic energy of steam turbine rotors that acted as a reserve to smooth out imbalances. As this resource is eroded through decarbonisation\, many are asking how grid stability can be maintained. There are many technological solutions\, many grid phenomena that\, until now\, have been neglected\, and many economic factors that must be considered. How to best answer the important question of grid inertia is still very much open and optimum solutions will likely be as varied as the make-up of electricity grids we see across the planet. \n This event ‘System Inertia Providers and Grid Forming Inverters: Modelling\, Control\, and Application’ is the third in a series of annual events organised in collaboration between EPRI and the University of Nottingham. This event invites stakeholders from academia and industry to discuss technical\, organisational\, and economic aspects of the inertia question. \nThis year’s event will include talks around two thematic areas\, namely the broad topic of grid inertia and the specific topic of grid forming inverters. Contributions from administrative bodies and analysts will explore how inertia technologies can be incentivised and what the repercussion are for the rest of the market. Speakers from the National Grid\, ESB\, Simens Energy\, Reactive Technologies\, RTE\, AEMO\, Hawaiian Electric\, and SGRE have confirmed their attendance. \nThis FREE online event\, which is taking place on 22nd March 2022\, invites a diverse international audience to discuss the wide spectrum of reactions and approaches to Grid Inertia\, with a view to starting the conversation on grid inertia. The day will comprise of a series of talks from both industry and academia\, culminating in a panel discussion. Talks will discuss emerging technologies as well as developing market place models. \nInertia and Grid Forming event programme\n\n\nTime (UK time)\nTopic\nPresenter\n\n\n1:00PM–1:05PM\nMC Introduction\n \n\n\n1:05–1:25 (20MIN)\nScene Setting\nSolomon Brown (Sheffield University)\n\n\n1:25–1:40 (15MIN)\nSystem Operator\nBen Gommersall (National Grid)\n\n\n1:40–1:55 (15MIN)\nInertia Hardware\nRuairi Costello (ESB)\n\n\n1:55–2:10 (15MIN)\nInertia Hardware\nVijay Shinde (Siemens Energy)\n\n\n2:10–2:25 (15MIN)\nSoftware (TBD title)\nBrian Berry (Reactive)\n\n\n2:25–2:35 (10MIN)\nCoffee Break\n \n\n\n2:45–3:00 (15MIN)\nResearch Collaboration\nEPRI\n\n\n3:00–3:15 (15MIN)\nResearch Collaboration\nThibault Prevost (RTE)\n\n\n3:15–3:30 (15MIN)\nSystem Operator\nNilesh Modi (AEMO)\n\n\n3:30–3:45 (15MIN)\nSystem Operator\nLi Yu (Hawaiian Electric)\n\n\n3:45-4:00 (15 MIN)\nGrid Forming Technology\nElena Salz (SGRE)\n\n\n4:00-4:30 (30 MIN)\nPanellist Session & Finish\n \n\n\n\nEvent sponsors \n \n As large amounts of renewable energy generation are introduced to electrical grids and fossil-fuelled plants close down\, the energy system loses the short-term storage provided by the huge spinning rotors of the power stations.  Want to work with us?For more information about this event\, or if you are a company and would like to discuss ideas related to this topic\, please contact Professor Seamus Garvey at the University of Nottingham. \nEmail: Seamus.Garvey@nottingham.ac.uk \nAn enhanced flywheel system would be much cheaper than a battery based equivalent. It turns out after all that some new problems have some excellent old solutions. \nProfessor Seamus Garvey\, University of Nottingham
