Merchant Square - Feasibility Study for Integrating CHP, Distributed Storage, and DC Systems in New Development

The project will conduct a feasibility study to explore the integration of Distributed Storage, DC systems (lighting/electronics) into a major mixed-use development in central London, planned for construction in 2014. The development aims to improve the utilization of site-level Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, enhancing electricity balancing and services across the site. The project will deliver site-level schemas and specifications/designs for incorporating integrated technology into buildings, apartment units, hotel units, and commercial office spaces. The goal is to create a showcase of best practices in decentralized power systems, resilience, and carbon savings in new build developments.

Feedback Overview:

The idea of integrating CHP, Distributed Storage, and DC systems into a major mixed-use development in central London is highly innovative and timely. It addresses the growing need for sustainable and resilient energy systems in urban developments. To enhance the feasibility and attractiveness of the project, it is crucial to engage with stakeholders early, including local authorities, potential investors, and technology providers. Additionally, conducting a detailed cost-benefit analysis and pilot studies could help in demonstrating the practical benefits and scalability of the proposed technologies.
