Behavioural Energy Efficiency Potential

March 4, 2019

India’s building sector energy consumption is expected to grow by an average of 2.7% per year from 2015 to 2040, more than twice the global average. About 70% of this building sector energy demand will come from the residential sector. In this light, it is important to explore innovative interventions, particularly those that would help avoid costly augmentation of generation, transmission and distribution capacities. To this end, utility-led demand-side management (DSM) programmes represent a significant and largely untapped potential for realising grid-wide energy efficiency gains in India.

Bridport Renewable Energy Group

BREG has now established BESCo the Bridport Energy Services company as an Industrial and Provident Society. This development of this sister organisation has necessitated the development of business plan for BREG that makes clear the distinct roles of the two groups. The BREG plan is currently envisaged to have the following five themes: a programme of events informing ourselves and the wider community, and a contribution to the policy development; research development and demonstration of technologies so that they may be implemented with confidence; the delivery of projects through BESCo the establishment of a wood fuel resource the development of the Brit Valley Community Farm, a vision of integrated food and energy production and organic waste processing.

The EU’s Plan to Scale Up Renewables by 2030 Implications for the Power System

whitePaper | April 12, 2022

Scaling up renewable energy (REN) is paramount for climate protection and energy security, but it is also a major industrial challenge for the European Union (EU). The REPowerEU plan requires multiplying the installed capacity for solar photovoltaic (PV) power by a factor of 3 and raising wind capacity by a factor of 2.5 in less than 8 years from now.

Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence at the Grid Edge

whitePaper | October 14, 2022

The utility industry struggles to store and analyze the ocean of data recorded by state-of-the-art distribution devices. Performing some analytics locally—within the devices themselves—promises to unlock new operational value and cost effectiveness, and the first phases of testing needed to prove that theory are now complete. Laboratory investigations showed distributed intelligence (DI) applications far surpassed the capabilities of cloud-based analytics for three common use cases on the distribution grid; and field testing confirmed the results across thousands of customer meters, while also revealing other valuable, real-world applications for the data.

White paper: Toward a new energy system

whitePaper | April 4, 2022

Climate change is real and one of the greatest challenges in the history of humankind. The impact of global warming is no longer theoretical. We’re seeing the consequences: droughts, fires, and floods at our doorstep and in every corner of the planet. We’re experiencing the warmest years since weather records began.

Smart Consumers in the Internet of Energy: Flexibility Markets & Services from Distributed Energy Resources

whitePaper | November 28, 2019

In light of new EU market rules adopted as part of the Clean Energy Package, responsive and energy-efficient consumers are likely to play a crucial role in the challenging transition to a low carbon energy system. This is especially true for smart consumers who have access to distributed energy resources (DER) assets, such as demand response, solar photovoltaics, storage, electric vehicles and heating appliances. With the ‘internet of energy’, interconnected smart consumers can trade on both sides of the market, either directly or through an intermediary such as an energy service provider, an aggregator or an energy community.
