- MSOA level electricity and gas consumption
- A bottom up address level model of heat demand
|
- Bottom up address level model of electricity
- Temporal model of electricity demand based on load profiles
- Information on upcoming developments in Bristol with large projected load
|
| Current and future ‘local power generation’ levels and intermittency caused |

- Outcome of SoLa Bristol project
|
| Opportunities for demand side response and reduction in the city (power and heat) |
- Technical maximum demand shift at different times of day and year
|
|
| Anticipated uses of smart energy data in future energy system management - what gets smart? |

|
- Expected levels of uptake of smart devices within the home
|
| Inventory of large discretionary loads in the city |
|
|
| Storage technology development trends and potential opportunities |
- The different existing storage technologies
