Mixergy Limited

This project will be a feasibility study on how to maximise the value to households from new smart energy technology. It will do this by assessing the potential to add new income streams to the household electricity tank, building on Mixergy's initial demand side response tank (currently designed to 1. provide optimal demand side response services to elec...

The DESIRE project will explore supply chains that integrate grid demand response services with domestic hot water and battery storage. If successful, the project will open up new supply chains and income streams for markets that can underpin the intergation of large-scale intermittent energy into the grid. Upside Energy has developed a novel, cloud-based...

The Balanced Energy Networks project will deliver both a physical and digital network to integrate systems that will enable the balancing of heating, cooling, electricity, and carbon, in a way that minimises costs. Addressing the energy trilemma - delivering security of supply, at low cost, and with low carbon emissions - is a key requirement for achievin...

Domestic hot water tanks are a pivotal element for an effective demand side management strategy. The UK has an estimated 13.9 million hot-water tanks, of which 59% use electricity as a primary or secondary energy source (this will rise as the UK moves towards DECC’s vision of a 2050 low carbon economy). Currently, this represents an installed energy store...
