What we know |
What we could know
|
Power, heat and gas flows in city and known patterns of change |
- 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 |
- Good estimate of current energy generation capacity within Bristol
|
- More information about intermittency of renewable generation
|
Electricity distribution system operational issues and expectations in ‘smarter’ system |
- Map of demand per substation per LSOA
|
- Available capacity in distribution network for distributed generation
- More about the effects of distributed generation on the distribution network
- 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? |
- There are several potential smart devices that could be adopted
|
- 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
- The options that could be used within a city like Bristol do not appear to be economically viable at present
|
- More about EVs being used as a storage medium
- Future feasibility of storage
