PVHs generation is today exported to the Grid regardless of Grid’s needs, which exacerbates the generation-demand temporal mismatch as NWE installed PV capacity grows by 3 GW/yr. Demand peaks at 120% of the daily average from approximately 6 to 9 AM and from 4 to 8 PM, when inefficient, CO 2-intensive ”load-following” plants are activated to meet demand. Every year, up to 6% of available wind energy cannot be gathered in North-West Euope, wasting the cleanest Grid electricity.
This will remove the generation-demand temporal mismatch currently hindering renewables growth: when demand is low on sunny/windy days, output of solar/wind-farms must be reduced. HSSs will store houses' PV output and low-CO 2 energy (wind/solar) drawn from the Power Grid at times of low demand. StHs provide domestic space heating on demand to individual rooms within 24 hr. HSSs will merge batteries and cheap “Storage Heaters” (StHs). RED WoLF will increase renewables' usage and reduce CO 2 emission for Homes with PhotoVoltaics without gas connection (PVHs from now on):Įach of 100 new/existing PVHs, grouped in Pilots provided to RED WoLF by enterprises and Public Authorities (PAs) partners, will be endowed with a Hybrid Storage System (HSS). Addressing North-West Europe housing emissions, responsible for approximately 300 million tonnes of CO 2/yr, is a key step to reach EU goals of sustainable growth and carbon reduction.
