| Marine source heat pumps |
A marine source heat pump will be installed to transfer heat from sea water in Shoreham Harbour to heat adjacent buildings of the Shoreham Port Authority using a district heating system. |
ICAX |
| In-front-of-the-meter battery energy storage system |
A 12 MW in-front-of-the-meter battery energy storage system will be installed in Sompting, West Sussex. The battery, using second-life electric vehicle batteries, will allow the grid to source more energy from renewable sources which can fluctuate regularly due to weather conditions. |
Connected Energy |
| Behind the meter battery energy storage system |
Up to nine 300 kW behind-the-meter battery energy storage systems will be installed across the region. In addition to providing grid balancing these second-life electric vehicle systems will help reduce energy bills for their sites and provide an alternative to costly grid import increases. |
Connected Energy |
| EV solar carport |
Up to five EV charging hubs with integrated photovoltaics and battery energy storage will be installed across West Sussex. The sites will have a total electric vehicle charging power of 243 kW and an estimated 865 kW of solar PV. |
Connected Energy |
| Domestic air source heat pumps (ASHP) |
Up to 250 ASHP will be installed in domestic social and private residences both on and off gas grid. The smart systems will learn algorithms and analyse data points within the homes to learn their thermal properties. Weather information and user behaviour will then be overlaid to predict user demand and optimise the efficiency and aggregate to respond to demand side response (DSR). |
PassivSystems |
| Photovoltaics, Battery and ‘Vehicle to Grid’ Home and Light Commercial Network |
To deliver sustainable, low-carbon energy to social housing, schools, businesses and the local public sector in West Sussex, up to 350 solar and battery systems will be installed. 250 of these are aimed at the residential market, and 100 will be larger-scale installations for commercial or public sector sites. 250 electric vehicle charging points will be installed optimised by Moixa's GridShare software, to show how smart charging can break down the cost barriers of transitioning fleets of traditional ICE vehicles to electric. |

| Data analysis |
Mathematical methods will be used to evaluate the whole series of network management techniques used in the project. Modelling expertise will be used to provide a detailed technical understanding of the performance parameters of each technology deployed. |
Newcastle University |
| Virtual Power Plant (VPP) |
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) will be created to aggregate and manage the large fleet of hybrid systems across transport, heat and power. This VPP will deliver flexibility services into ancillary markets ensuring system reliability and delivering a stronger, cheaper, cleaner network. |
