NETWORK / 19 / MAY 2019 likely to be relatively small – 30 MW/10 MWh and under. These services would be designed to reduce the scale of network infrastructure required by using flexibility and demand-side response which may increase overall risk but may also reduce the value of transmission systems. The second system that will be analysed will be bulk transnational energy transmis - sion networks. This is an integrated energy system that is national and transnational such that generation, demand and storage are mainly located long distances apart, greater than 200km, but interconnected through energy networks. Lower levels of public involvement would be needed in this model. The scale of the entities is likely to be large, 500 MW/200 MWh and above. Interactions be - tween gas and electricity networks would be essential. Generation sources such as nuclear, offshore wind and gas with carbon capture and storage could dominate. There is then the blended approach involv- ing energy production and use on a differen- tiated regional, national and transnational basis. Further to this, societal shi†s (changes in how, where and when we need our energy), the impacts of climate change and technologi- cal advances also need to be considered. Each of these architectures will be tested and evaluated against major anticipated chal- lenges such as resilience to climate change, technological disruption and widespread societal shi†s. The Hub would love to hear from anyone currently working in the energy networks space or considering doing so. To join the Hub community, please contact our team by email at supergenEN@newcastle.ac.uk purpose of this project: to understand, shape and challenge the whole energy network infrastructure. The Hub will engage with the energy networks community to ensure that the work is informed by best practice and that the findings are widely visible and under - stood. Furthermore, and of equal importance, the Hub will seek to connect, convene and as- sist the energy networks community to move forward in a coherent manner. The Hub aims to become a beacon for equality, diversity and inclusion and also support early career researchers so that the networks community can grow, become more diverse and meet its true potential. The Hub will begin by investigating multi vector energy networks through the lens of three different architectures; (i) regional, (ii) national and transnational and (iii) a differen - tiated and blended approach. In regional systems generation, demand and storage are all co-located within the regional area energy network. This is likely to involve high levels of public engagement in decision making regarding the energy infrastructure. The scale of these entities is "The Hub will engage with the energy networks community to ensure that the work is informed by best practice and that the findings are widely visible and understood."
