The Smart Energy Research Lab has recently featured in a blog post for the EnergyREV network.
Entitled ‘Unlocking the potential of smart meter data to accelerate Smart Local Energy Systems’ and authored by SERL team members James O’Toole and David Shipworth, the piece highlights the potential uses of SERL data in the work of EnergyREV researchers. The level of detail of energy use at a local level possible via SERL can allow for much more precisely tailored smart local energy systems. As ever with SERL, all data is fully anonymised and only accessed with the full informed consent of the householder.
EnergyREV is an interdisciplinary group of over 60 researchers from 22 universities who are working to accelerate the introduction of Smart Local Energy Systems. The network is part of the UK Industrial Challenge Fund’s Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) programme. Smart local energy systems aim to use technology to match energy supply and demand in a specific area. They can be tailored to the needs of local communities to ensure the most efficient use of energy and the best value for residents.
