The integration of distributed and non-dispatchable renewable energy into the wider energy system (electricity, heat/cold and transport) poses significant challenges for the design and operation of the energy system. For example, due to the increasing fraction of non-dispatchable generation it becomes more important to provide novel mechanisms to balance supply and demand.
Combine hydrogen production with technology to capture and store the resulting carbon emissions and you could have the means of decarbonising the heat, power and transport needs of entire cities across the UK.
