Project strategy (NK)
- Use novel localised power balancing mechanisms
alongside digital control to provide robust and responsive energy systems across the electricity, transport and heat networks.
- Develop a Virtual Power Plant to manage energy
flows in each of the three sectors.
- Use pre-financed and self-financed customer/user
infrastructure delivered through democratised business models.

- Most turbines of any county in the UK
- 1/9th of UK’s domestic turbines (0.07% of UK’s solar)
- Income to Orkney economy: >£4M/yr
- Reducing money ‘lost’
- Squeezing more efficient ‘big wind’ off
OREF runs a unique database on performance & faults

Changing electricity use - EVs
Cars
- Now >210 vehicles in the county
- 1 bus + ATVs
- 12 pairs of FAST chargers, 4 RAPID chargers
- 2018-2023 EV strategy in place
- Highest % uptake in Scotland
OREF data base shows
- >2/3 of charging is done at home
- 80% have a private charger
- Average mileage of EVs studied = ~24 miles/day
- Electricity use for vehicles ~ 7-9kWh /day/car
- If average speed is 30mph then cars are in use 1 hour/day

Wealth distribution?
How many people in Orkney benefit directly from generating energy? 300 people employed in the renewable sector 500 householders with micro wind turbines installed 400 homes with solar and heat pump technology installed 8 large scale community turbines sites directly linked to >1000 households; 40 local investors in two locally owned schemes 210 electric cars running locally
Consequently there are likely to be ~700 ‘enterprises’ and 2000 or 20% of households that have a direct link with and benefit from renewables

Task 4.3 LA/DSL owned grid integrated EV buses & demand responsive vehicles (OIC) Through this task analysis and review of the local transport sector will be undertaken to identify gaps and opportunities where the ReFLEX project may be able to interact with transport services to offer local benefit. This could include replacement or enhancement of existing services or provision of new services. The study will identify promising opportunities and assess viability. Implementation of new solutions will be pursued where appropriate.

Task 4.5 Marine Transport (CES/OIC/EMEC) Task 4.5.1 Options for Maritime Transport Decarbonisation This task will review and assess the diverse range of marine vessels and their supporting infrastructure operating in the Orkney eco-system, to gain a detailed understanding of the complexity of transitioning this key sector of Orkney’s transport sector to low / zero carbon alternatives. Task 4.5.2 Opportunity for Marine Transport flexibility within ReFLEX CES and the OIC will engage with project partners to investigate the potential to incorporate their existing marine transport/ferry infrastructure into the project. Task 4.5.3 RTFO review This final activity in this task will provide the ReFLEX project with a report detailing the overall opportunity, the steps necessary to incorporate green hydrogen for maritime applications into the RTFO support mechanism and the procedure for RTFO registration for eligible Renewable Fuel producers.
WP5 – FlexHeat (GB)
Objectives
- To reduce the cost/kW of heat generated
- Deliver a net increase in affordable warmth.
Achieved by:
- Installing appropriate hardware to efficiently generate heat : A/GSHP, HFC
- Matching heat demand and supply : Building management systems
- Improving on-demand, intelligent generation/release of heat : VES integration
- Align with district heating / heat trading where infrastructure permits : OIC plans

- ‘12-’16 decrease in oil price encourages use. Incentive needed for alternative solutions
- Broad mix of domestic heating in Orkney - 39% (oil/solid) and 43% electric
- Require to raise awareness of ‘whole house heating’ approach vs ‘selective rooms’
Domestic Heating - Now
Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps extract low temperature energy from the environment, raise the temperature and then distribute it to provide hot water or general domestic heating.
Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) Typically:
- 4x more efficient than fossil
fuels
- 1kW in 3 - 5kW out
- Air/Air : space heating
- Water/Air : space heating
- Air/Water: hot water
- Variable performance
Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) Typically:
- 40-50% heating cost of oil/LPG
- 4x more efficient (fossil fuels)
- 1kW in 3-4kW heat out
- 7yr income under Domestic
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
- 20yrs for Non-Domestic RHI
Slightly more efficient than ASHP - uniform ground temperature
Targets
- Install heat pump in insulated homes + RHI
- Reduce and measure carbon footprint
reduction for heating for each targeted house
- Deliver ‘affordable warmth’

Heat Heat Heat Power
Thermal Storage, or Distribution via District Heating
(to be confirmed)
Integration of:
- Heat pumps (A/GSHP)
- Hydrogen fuel cell
- Building mgmt. systems
to deliver heat as needed. Excess heat generation has potential to be stored or distributed (and traded) on a district heating network, in similar manner to power grid.
Connection to Other Initiatives
Diverting unused renewable energy into affordable heating
