Enel X授予3.7美元竞技场格兰特,皮帕Haupt | 2023年7月19日Enel X澳大利亚获得了370万美元的赠款从澳大利亚可再生能源机构(舞台)支持灵活的需求解决方案的小商业和工业制冷行业。建立的领域,澳大利亚政府,支持过渡到零排放量试运行创新的步伐加速,澳大利亚消费者的利益,企业和工人。Enel X是澳大利亚最大的虚拟电厂(VPP)聚合灵活的需求,电池存储、备份发电和电动流动资源支持电网和公司可再生能源的供应。Enel X的开放灵活的商业制冷行业的需求计划将聚合超过20兆瓦的灵活的企业在全国电力市场的需求。埃奈尔X是招募440名商业制冷设备超市,食品、饮料、方便和最后一英里物流需求提供灵活的支持澳大利亚可再生能源过渡的能力。灵活的需求是电力负荷的协调编制网格来缓解压力。作为变量可再生能源如风能和太阳能产生更大份额的澳大利亚发电解决方案需要帮助供给和需求相匹配。储能是等式的一部分但转移需求从高峰时期,关键时候可以补充的需求减少,降低整体成本的能量。网站将参加埃奈尔X VPP和提供服务来支持澳大利亚的电力系统。涉及的企业将支持安全可靠供电的所有消费者和经济奖励通过Enel X VPP这样做。 Refrigeration, like other forms of heating and cooling, offers a valuable source of flexible demand due to the thermal mass of facilities maintaining temperature even when refrigerators and chillers are ramped down. Small changes to power usage can have a large impact when aggregated at scale, with no noticeable change for users or impact to product quality. Enel X has engaged a Tier 1 Grocery chain as an initial supermarket customer for this project with a 20-store pilot with potential to extend to up to 250 stores participating in the VPP. Lineage Logistics’ refrigerated warehouses will also take part in the project at 13 refrigerated warehouse sites. Enel X is actively sourcing other businesses with varied refrigeration applications to participate in the program. ARENA CEO Darren Miller said the project could pave the way for further investment in flexible demand. “Our electricity grid is changing, and a more variable supply requires more flexible demand. Commercial refrigeration can unlock this on a greater scale than the household level, so we’re excited to see the Enel X project rolled out across Australian supermarkets and other businesses with refrigeration. “We want to see projects like this demonstrate to the market the benefits of flexible demand – to electricity users and the grid. By demonstrating and proving the technology to prospective users, we’re hoping to see more and more electricity users look to it as an attractive option,” Miller said. Enel X APAC MD Jeff Renaud said the energy market needed new ways to balance renewables, and businesses needed new ways to reduce energy costs. “With ARENA’s support, we will prove that small-scale refrigeration systems, when plugged into a Virtual Power Plant, can make a large-scale contribution to the renewable energy transition,” said Renaud.
