Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of providing a typical distillery with low carbon energy through the combination of local wind energy, solar PV, electricity storage and heat storage. The aim of this is to increase the sustainability of the energy-intensive whisky industry. Using hourly local renewable resource data and typical distillery consumption information, the local energy generation is balanced against the demand at the time of use. This followed by load shifting using a battery and heat storage. Results show that significant carbon savings can be achieved by a carefully designed portfolio of hybrid generation, battery storage and heat storage.
