7 And we are getting clearer about what is needed.. Now Generation Providing Control (All transmission connected) Large generating units in frequency control mode Distribution Network Automatic Controls (Voltage Regulation Devices) 10,000 devices Smart Cities & Smart Communities (GB Future Cities) None These are now emerging and developments are international National Regional Commercial Local Communities 2030 Generation Providing Control (Transmission & Distribution connected) 600,000 If 10% of small units using waste, hydro & PV are assisting frequency control Distribution Network Automatic Controls (Voltage Regulation Devices Plus Smart Innovation) 900,000 devices Smart Cities & Smart Communities (GB Future Cities) 60+ smart cities A forecast based on the 30 City Council projects active today in Britain Decarbonisation of electricity: too slow to allow heat and transport to transfer wholesale. Multi-vector low carbon heat, cold and transport solutions. Energy efficiency: improve quickly. Energy storage and smart grids: really important. Domestic energy heat: the biggest challenge. Customers: the heart of new markets for new energy services. Solutions: differ by location. Insights into consumer response and behaviour Automatic Controls in Homes (Home Energy Management) None In broad terms, all demand is positive Homes Automatic Controls in Homes (Home Energy Management) 15 million If half the smart meters link with energy management devices Information sharing and trust: key issues. Real time variation of multi-vector solutions. Continual system integration required Energy Systems Catapult

8 ETI s Smart Systems and Heat Programme Creating future-proof and economic local heating solutions for the UK Connecting together the understanding of consumer needs and behaviour with the development and integration of technologies and new business models into Delivering enhanced knowledge amongst industry and public sector ETI members Resulting in industry and investor confidence to implement from 2020 which enables a UK heat transition The Energy Systems Catapult will deliver Phase One of the SSH programme as a supplier to the ETI following the transition of the SSH programme team to the Catapult. From 2017 the Catapult will be responsible for delivery of Phase Two of the programme independently of the ETI.

9 Smart Systems and Heat This critical enabling first phase of the SSH programme is funded by the Energy Technologies Institute 2017 Energy Systems Catapult

10 SSH Team In Nov 2015 the ETI SSH team transferred to ESC Now c50 ESC team working on SSH in innovation, project management & business development ETI SSH Phase 1 funded work: Energy Path Networks; Consumer Research HEMS development; Business Model development; EnergyPath Operations, Retrofit Projects and Integrated Electric Heat Modelling toolkit SSH Phase 2 Development : overseen by a Steering Group chaired by BEIS involving Energy Systems Catapult, OFGEM, 3 x LAs and Welsh Government, plus ETI members EDF Energy and Hitachi. Plans include placement of Field Trial development officers in LAs in 2017 Phase 3 demonstration environment follow on 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP

11 Decarbonising domestic energy is a very complex systems integration challenge Change supply Change vector Change appliances Change delivery Change heat losses Biomass boiler Natural Gas Biomass Coal Gas boiler Gas Combined Heat & Power Reformation Gasification Electrolysis CCS Hot water Hydrogen Smart Meter Smart Meter Heat network interface unit Gas boilers Solar Thermal Solar PV Hot water storage Electric heaters Wet pipe radiators Electric showers Loft insulation Mechanical venting and heat recovery Air tightness External solid wall insulation Wind Power Solar Power Nuclear Power Gas-CCS Power Coal-CCS Pwr Gasification Delivery by road Natural gas & bio-methane Electricity Bio-mass Smart Meter Electric air source heat pumps Electric ground source heat pumps Biomass boilers Battery storage Internal solid wall insulation Double or triple glazing & coatings Draught proofing (for illustration not exhaustive) 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP

12 Consumers have little interest in that complexity they care about the experiences energy affords Pleasant air quality Feeling in control Quiet, especially at night No damp build-up Minimum use of space in the home Quick heat-up on-demand Foreseeable running costs Resilient to wear-and-tear Pleasant aesthetics Home cool when/ where wanted Home warm when / where wanted Avoiding exposure to energy price volatility Minimise upfront capital outlay 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP

13 People don t want their comfort in bits or components! Whilst there is a niche that loves tinkering. Everyone else just wants the experience and to trust promises will be delivered Top Features, for illustrative reference: Active Park Assist - Let the computer parallel park for you Reverse sensing - Helps you not back into things MyKey - Parents can limit the vehicle s top speed and audio volume Capless fuel-filler - Just open door and insert nozzle Also Leather, moonroof, navigation, heated front seats 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP

14 The big idea is turning energy retail into an experiential service, not billing for units of commodity consumed This would create major benefits: More focus on customer value, to understand it, shape it and deliver it Retailers earn customers trust to be able to promise performance for low carbon heat Revealed consumers preferences can drive evolution of the whole energy value chain Opens a new option to deliver low carbon, setting long-term technology-neutral limits Retailers compete through long-term innovation & supply chain investment to find the best path to low carbon Opens a new option to reduce fuel poverty, via performance contracts with public sector 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP

15 There are few actors today providing the integration to help people achieve the experiences they value Social housing New build Private rent & owner-occupier Local Authorities and Housing Associations Housing Developers? 2017 Energy Technologies Institute LLP
