Details
The Smart Meter Energy Data Repository (SEDR) programme, of up to £1 million, aims to support innovation to determine the technical and commercial feasibility of a smart meter energy data repository, quantify the benefits and costs of such a smart meter energy data repository, and simulate how it could work.
The programme consisted of 2 phases:
- Phase 1: feasibility, establishing the feasibility of a smart meter energy data repository through funding feasibility studies and proposing a Technical Solution for establishing a system-wide repository
- Phase 2: developing and demonstrating a 바카라 사이트˜proof of concept바카라 사이트™ capable of simulating key features of a smart meter energy data repository and setting out recommendations for how a system wide repository may be created
Background
The smart metering system is a rich source of energy related data (consumption, price, demand, voltage etc) but this data is effectively distributed across the millions of meters that generate and store it.바카라 사이트¯ As such, as a 바카라 사이트˜big data바카라 사이트™ set, it is difficult to access, requiring serial requests.바카라 사이트¯ In addition, there may be limitations at the device level, HAN level, WAN level and DSP (Data Service Provider) level that restrict innovative use cases.
A single secure cloud-based repository of smart meter energy data would offer potential consumer benefits including those related to flexibility services and other energy data-related services that are currently unrealised, or unrealisable.
This programme was part of the up to £65 million overarching Flexibility Innovation Programme which seeks to enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme funds innovation across a range of key smart energy applications, and sits within the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
