Summary
Distribution network operator UK Power Networks has partnered with Arup, Environmental Resources Management and Bring Energy to launch HeatScape.
HeatScape aims to map current and future heat networks, as well as the electricity required under various scenarios, enabling better preparedness for electrification and decarbonisation.
Information will be collected from datasets, advanced modelling, and real-world insights and integrated into UK Power Networks’ Strategic Forecasting System to show how electrified heat networks will interact with the grid.
Ultimately, the project will enable more informed decisions on how to prepare and ready the electricity network for future requirements. Furthermore, it will explore more flexible management of heat networks, for example, by using thermal storage to reduce peak demand.
