Resilient Energy

Stephen Crosher, CCO

• Introduction to X-wind Power

• The issues

• Resilient energy system

• Project Partners

• Application in the developing world


Introduction to X-Wind

An 80kW vertical axis wind turbine

• Low, Low maintenance• Small footprint• Low noise

Class leading economics, 200MWh on typical site


The issues

• Island communitiesor remote communities /

businesses• Long distances for power lines• Vulnerable to faults/ interruption• Takes time to fix


The issues

• … its annoying, ruins your Xmas dinner

• Can present health risks• Adversely affects businesses• Compensation costs• Costs and CO2 of standby generators …. becomes political


The issues

You need energy & batteries …

…. BUT …. Its all expensive

You need a way of creating value from your all assets.


Solution partners

The generator provides value through energy off-set and incentives such as feed-in tariffs

Value is created from batteries when they are used, the more they are used the more value created

Ideally: Payments for- Resilience provided- Stand-by & utilisation- Grid upgrade avoidance- Grid balancing / fault limiting

Needs fast reaction times- Arbitrage


The solutions

Battery characteristics:

- Long life, 10,000+ cycles- Variable power vs. energy- Low LCOS- Rapid reaction time

Expandable


The solutions

System characteristics:

- Generation- Storage- Expandable- Ability to predict

- local supply and demand - Weather- Potential for grid faults

- Ability to measure flows to realise revenues

Community Energy Scotland:

- Access to communities- Understanding of issues


The solutions

Benefits:

- Ability to ‘island’ and reconnect- Stand-by operating reserve payments- Grid-balancing payments- Grid-upgrade avoidance payments- Arbitrage [trading]- Improved voltages- Improved frequencies- Improved thermal constraints- Local system resilience- lower compensation provision- Health- Business- Capital expenditure generating revenues


The solutions

Application in developing markets:

- 1.4 bn people off-grid, no power [world bank]

- 1.1+ bn people on weak grids [economist]

- 2.8bn people rely on solid fuels for cooking- Estimated to kill 1.5m people p/a

- 2,000 off-grid communities in N Canada alone [diesel generation]

- UK only 16% of DNO quotes for grid connection progress to completion [grid constrained, high costs]


The solutions

2.5+ bn People need power with:

- Good power quality - [or things do not work properly]

- Resilience

- Ability to loose grid and reconnect [islanding]

- Ability to trade energy

- Ability to manage changing demands over time

Improving health, quality of life & prosperity

Lowering CO2


The solutions

Partnerships:

- Once the integrated system is complete we would look for project partners to apply the technology in those places of greatest need.
