Contents
A: Technical- Energy
| What we know | What we could know | |
|---|---|---|
| Power, heat and gas flows in city and known patterns of change |
|
|
| Current and future ‘local power generation’ levels and intermittency caused |
|
|
| Electricity distribution system operational issues and expectations in ‘smarter’ system |
|
|
| Opportunities for demand side response and reduction in the city (power and heat) |
|
|
| Anticipated uses of smart energy data in future energy system management - what gets smart? |
|
|
| Inventory of large discretionary loads in the city | ||
| Storage technology development trends and potential opportunities |
|

Questions for collaborators
B: Technical - Data and IT
| What we know | What we could know | |
|---|---|---|
| IT, data handling, storage and analytics requirement for city-scale activity | ||
| Data comms and opportunities for data capture within anticipated flows | ||
| Smart meter functionality and consumer access device opportunities | ||
| Using smart meter and energy data to improve energy management – tools and apps | ||
| Integrating smart energy data and sensors and controls (‘internet of things’) – what’s in the pipeline and what benefits can it bring (energy and in other spheres – e.g. health)? | ||
| Engagement with DNO and GDO to establish real-time data feeds at various network nodes (cf just smart meters) | ||
| Use of local data to minimise search costs to target assistance on those who need it most. |
C: Commercial
| What we know | What we could know | |
|---|---|---|
| Value flows in energy system and in smart meter roll-out – scaled to ‘Bristol scale’ | ||
| Understanding markets where value is traded (balancing, capacity etc) | ||
| Understanding value created by smarter energy response and management of system at city scale (and how that will change over time) | ||
| Understanding potential financial value of using smart energy data in other services (e.g. health improvement – thermal safeguarding etc) | ||
| Energy supplier smart meter roll-out plans and potential for securing integrated city-wide approach | ||
| Potential business models for city-wide approach | ||
| Innovation and research activities and funding sources for smart energy data/city development | ||
| Investment requirements and potential sources |
D: Regulatory/policy
| What we know | What we could know | |
|---|---|---|
| Smart meter roll-out plans and timetable (incl. opportunities for involvement, data issues, support for vulnerable etc) | ||
| Licensing of different roles in energy system (supply, distribution, meter operation, access to DCC etc) | ||
| Opportunities to mandate ‘smartness’ in new developments and refurbishment | ||
| ‘Space to experiment’ opportunities to operate outside full regulatory regime (Ofgem, DECC etc) – and what could be done | ||
| Privacy (for both individuals and commercial interests) vs public good. Can data be anonymised while still retaining sufficient detail? |
E: Social/cultural
| What we know | What we could know | |
|---|---|---|
| Public perception and engagement issues | ||
| Individual, community and business engagement and behaviour change opportunities | ||
| Support needs of vulnerable households and approaches to local provision | ||
| Communication and dissemination routes – audiences and narratives | ||
| Interest of health and social care sectors and understanding of 'cold homes' link to health |
