PIONEERING RESEARCH TO MAKE A FULLY SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL ENERGY SYSTEM A REALITY.
ADOPTION CURVE OF LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES
NEW BUSINESS MODELS FOR BUILDINGS 1) GENERATE 2) USE 3) STORE DEMAND MANAGEMENT INCENTIVES

CLEAN ENERGY CITIES IN THE REAL WORLD
INSPIRATIONS: LONDON ZERO BILLS HOMES Remote-managed self-use, import, and export Support smart heating/cooling and charging in domestic sector supplied by excess local renewable generation Distributed City - 2025 Prefer smaller VRE modules and batteries as community assets Connected City - 2025 Set up an information hub for consumer flexibility
INSPIRATION: THE SMART BUILDING RATING Value on flexibility for better incentives The Smart Building Rating will support demand for smart devices in a growing market, adding a key missing part: a measure which can be linked to green finance and property value. This bolsters the reinforcing feedback loops that can see these smart devices scale. It also increases consumer awareness of demand flexibility, as well as visibility of flexibility capacity in the system.
INSPIRATION: CALIFORNIA FLEX ALERT Automated responses to high demand Grid stress management alert system Free market City - 2025 Create local tax rebates for investments in renewable generation and storage Free market City - 2040 A Flex Alert is issued in the summer when extremely hot weather drives up electricity use, making the available power supply scarce. This usually happens in the evening hours when solar generation is decreasing and consumers are returning home and switching on air conditioners, lights, and appliances. The California Public Utilities Commission created a new incentive, the Emergency Load Reduction program, that compensates consumers who reduce their electricity use when a Flex Alert is in effect.
INSPIRATION: SEATTLE WASTE REMOVAL EV FLEET EVs taking over the public sector Procure EVs and charge- points for public sector fleet Scalable City - 2025 Require LCTs for all new builds, public and private Scalable City - 2025 Develop community retrofit programmes. When the 10-year contract for waste haulers came up for renewal in 2018, Seattle s waste and water utility Seattle Public Utilities saw an opportunity to implement a major change in waste hauling services. Seattle s new waste fleet includes 200 new clean emissions vehicles powered by electricity, renewable natural gas, and renewable diesel. This includes two full size 100% electricity recycling trucks.
LIVE PROJECTS: BIRMINGHAM -TYSELEY Modelling local storage investment Build data platforms for strategic planning of storage Available city - 2040 FEEDER HEADROOM IN 2030 = FLEX AND STORAGE NEEDS
Financing Tech adoption and flexibility Consumer engagement
