Overview
Proactive scheduling for appliances like electric water heaters and space heaters, will enhance grid capacity and user comfort using edge computing and robust connectivity.
Expected Outcomes
- Quantify the reduction in household peak power demand resulting from user engagement and load shifting recommendations.
- KPI: Reduction in peak power demand over the evaluation period (%).
- Quantify the performance gain of the decentralised, virtualised control architecture and its ability to improve voltage stability, thereby enabling higher RES integration.
- KPI: Grid voltage stability: Up to +5% of gain in voltage regulation performance (current voltage variation ±5%).
