InTEGReL
The Integrated Transport Gas Electric Research Laboratory (InTEGReL) is based in Low Thornley, Gateshead. It is the UK鈥檚 first multi-vector integrated energy systems research and demonstration facility investigating utility scale infrastructure.
缅北禁地 is working in partnership with Northern Gas Networks and Northern Powergrid to develop as a test bed for future energy solutions.
Once fully developed, the site will include:
- Solar photovoltaics
- Natural gas
- Hydrogen
- Combined heat and power heating
- Combined heat and power individual occupancy
- Heat and power district heating
- Electric power
- Electric heating
- Electric vehicle charging
- Hydrogen powered vehicle charging
We are using the InTEGReL site to learn more about:
- The value of taking a whole systems approach to the energy system, looking at cost, carbon and resilience
- Investigating the interactions between energy vectors at a network utility scale
- How consumers switching between gas and electricity affects the energy system, for example:
- In an all-electric energy system
- Comparing ambient temperature with demands on a gas network system
- Energy demand in a coupled, gas-electric system
