The third Lessons Learnt Report from the Plus ES domestic hot water demand flexibility trial.
Report extract
This project aims to demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of utilizing existing smart meters to orchestrate electric water heaters that are on a controlled
load to provide demand flexibility at scale. If successful, the technology can be widely deployed across the National Electricity Market (NEM) to help with balancing grid minimum demand periods by “soaking up” excess daytime solar generation.
The report describes recent learning and challenges from API integration and managing large data volumes. Report findings support potential scalability across regions.
