“…On the other hand, the "power to X" system allows for a multi-stage production process based on the transformation of power into "X", where X denotes various forms of energy such as heat, hydrogen, gas, liquid, methane, ammonia, etc. [110]. Therefore, the main benefits of this technology are, principally, the contribution to the sustainable energy ecosystem, the provision of efficient methods of energy storage that have economic potential, and the optimal configuration of the energy flow in the system, taking into account the particularities of all energy supply systems [111,112].…”

Renewable Power Generation: A Supply Chain Perspective

In recent years, the transition to a more sustainable and clean system has focused on the accelerated development of renewable energy technologies. This transition can be perceived as a major priority, especially with the current environmental concerns, threatening various aspects of human life. The objective of this article is, therefore, to highlight the role of the supply chain in the renewable power generation sector. In this context, a detailed assessment of the supply chain contribution to the renewable energy sector is presented. Next, the performance of the renewable energy supply chain is qualitatively evaluated by illustrating the various barriers against continuing development, and the key measures are recommended to overcome these barriers. Then, the main factors influencing the performance of the supply chain are identified and key performance indicators related to the renewable energy supply chain are established to achieve high efficiency and sustainability performances in the power sector.

“…To be sure, many other kinds of analyses of UK low-carbon transitions do exist, but these mostly focus on particular dimensions, innovations, or actors. Economists, engineers, and modellers, for instance, have made many techno-economic analyses of recent and future UK low-carbon transitions, which focus on the performance and costs of various technologies that are competing in markets, which are shaped by policies (Hardt et al, 2018;Skea et al, 2019;Staffell, 2017;Wilson and Staffell, 2018). Modellers have also made techno-economic whole-system analyses, which investigate how multiple technologies may interact to change systems in lowcarbon directions (Kannan and Strachan, 2009;Strachan et al, 2009).…”

This book is intended for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the dynamics and governance of low-carbon transitions. Drawing on the Multi-Level Perspective, it develops a whole system reconfiguration approach that explains how the incorporation of multiple innovations can cumulatively reconfigure existing systems. The book focuses on UK electricity, heat, and mobility systems, and it systematically analyses interactions between radical niche-innovations and existing (sub)systems across techno-economic, policy, and actor dimensions in the past three decades. Comparative analysis explains why the unfolding low-carbon transitions in these three systems vary in speed, scope, and depth. It evaluates to what degree these transitions qualify as Great Reconfigurations and assesses the future potential for, and barriers to, deeper low-carbon system transitions. Generalising across these systems, broader lessons are developed about the roles of incumbent firms, governance and politics, user engagement, wider public, and civil society organisations. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The Landscape and Roadmap of the Research and Innovation Infrastructures in Energy: A Review of the Case Study of the UK

et al. 2022

Research and development are critical for driving economic growth. To realise the UK government’s Industrial Strategy, we develop an energy research and innovation infrastructure roadmap and landscape for the energy sector looking to the long term (2030). This study is based on a picture of existing UK infrastructure on energy. It shows the links between the energy sector and other sectors, the distribution of energy research and innovation infrastructures, the age of these infrastructures, where most of the energy research and innovation infrastructures are hosted, and the distribution of energy research and innovation infrastructures according to their legal structure. Next, this study identifies the roadmap of energy research and innovation infrastructures by 2030, based on a categorisation of the energy sector into seven subsectors. Challenges and future requirements are explored for each of the sub-sectors, encompassing fossil fuels and nuclear energy to renewable energy sources and hydrogen, and from pure science to applied engineering. The study discusses the potential facilities to address these challenges within each sub-sector. It explores the e-infrastructure and data needs for the energy sector and provides a discussion on other sectors of the economy that energy research and innovation infrastructures contribute to. Some of the key messages identified in this study are the need for further large-scale initiative and large demonstrators of multi-vector energy systems, the need for multi-disciplinary research and innovation, and the need for greater data sharing and cyber-physical demonstrators. Finally, this work will serve as an important study to provide guidance for future investment strategy for the energy sector.
