Report extract
This report provides an overview, progress update and key lessons learnt of the Pooled Energy Demand Management and Modulation Project supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The Project aims to manage a discretionary virtual load of swimming pools providing flexibility in the electricity grid to support the increasing share of renewable energy.
Using networked swimming pools and running them more efficiently, Pooled Energy is able to provide additional flexibility to help the electricity grid accommodate more renewables, as well as indirectly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
