network and can facilitate grid flexibility,
increase penetration of renewable energy
resources and improve the electricity network
efficiency, as a result reducing environmental
impact. This research aims to examine the best
possible locations for utilising BESS (Battery
Energy Storage Systems) across the UK electricity
grid by considering its benefits and associated
beneficiaries. Several locations ranging from the
generation to the distribution network has been
explored with the key focus on technical benefits.
Analysis of the literature shows that locating BESS
system close to intermittent renewable sources
and the end consumer showed optimal results.
Speaker Biography
Patrick Agese is a multi-award-winning energy specialist with extensive
research and consulting experience on technical, financial and policy
development in energy systems. He has over 5 years of experience on
large energy demand reduction projects and has developed energy
performance contracts for large global organisations such as Costain
Group PLC, Anesco and Givaudan. He is also a sustainability enthusiast
and has dedicated his professional career to developing clean energy
solutions. He is currently undergoing PhD research on Urban Energy
Rhythms at the University of Reading. The Urban Energy Rhythms
research aims to characterise distinct energy assets and develop
infrastructure design recommendations for optimising the deployment
of these assets. Previous research in this area combines a series of
deterministic methods for network planning, although these methods
have been associated with drawbacks such as unnecessary distribution
grid reinforcement, making them a barrier to increase penetration of
distributed generation assets.
