<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAdib is a Research\nAssociate within the Power Systems Research Team, School of Engineering, Newcastle\nUniversity<\/a> and currently works on several projects including the EPSRC National Centre for Energy Systems\nIntegration (CESI)<\/a> and the Supergen\nEnergy Networks Hub<\/a>. Adib received his PhD from the University of Joseph Fourier in the\nfield of control engineering. His research involves projects around the\nelectricity distribution and off-grid power sector and multi-vector energy\nsystems. These projects are addressing the need to cost efficiently decarbonise\nthe energy sector over the next thirty years by facilitating innovative network\nintegration of new generation, and the integration of different energy vectors\n(electricity, gas, and heat). Computer simulation, laboratory investigation and\ndemonstration projects are used together to produce new knowledge that delivers\nthis requirement. He has published more than 25 technical papers in leading\njournals and conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact Details<\/strong> Governments around the world are working hard to\nreduce their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In the UK, the government has set\na target of \u201cNet Zero\u201d GHG emissions by 2050 in order to reduce contribution to\nglobal warming [1]<\/a>.\nThis necessitates the integration of more Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) into\nthe energy networks and consequently reduction in the use of fossil fuels while\nmeeting and reducing energy demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve this objective flexibly and reliably, it\nmay be necessary to couple the energy networks using several network coupling\ncomponents such as gas turbine (GT), power-to-gas (P2G) and Combined Heat and\nPower (CHP) [2]<\/a>.\nAlso, the energy networks may benefit from different types of Energy Storage\nSystems (ESSs) in order to be able to compensate for any energy carrier deficit\nor other constraints in energy supply in any of the networks [3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to comprehensively study multi-vector\nintegrated energy systems and analyse ESS potentials, a Techno-Economic-Environmental\n(TEE) evaluation framework needs to be designed to investigate the mutual\nimpacts of each of the networks on the operational, economic and environmental\nperformance of others. This is the main aim of this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The paper divides ESS into two different categories\nof Single Vector Storage (SVS) and Vector Coupling Storage (VCS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A literature review looked at models which have been\nused to perform planning of the whole energy system of several countries taking\ninto account all layers of the energy system, as well as different types of\nenergy storage in multi-vector energy networks. As well as using a case study\nfrom a rural area in Scotland which is connected to the electricity\ndistribution network only, also benefitting from a small wind farm and roof-top\nPV\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA framework was developed\nas a result of the literature review carried out and this was tested on the\nreal-world rural area in Scotland. The\nevaluation framework provides the ability to perform TEE operational analysis\nof future scenarios of Integrated Gas and Electricity Distribution Networks\n(IGEDN). Several specifications and\nachievements from this study are identified in the paper which is available to\nread online and will be published in the November issue of the Journal. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n [1] Committee on Climate Change.
