130797Renewable Energy Peak Output Demand Side Management - Project FootroomClosedFeasibility StudiesInnovate UKFlexitricty Ltd created and now operates the first, largest and most advanced smart grid system in the UK – bringing revenue to UK businesses, reducing national carbon dioxide emissions and helping to secure energy supplies. The DSR Footroom will conduct research to establish the business models and regulatory/commercial frameworks necessary for a Demand Side Resource service to address the growing issue of balancing wind power generation with demand. This will reduce the need to curtail wind output at times of low demand, increase the ability of networks to absorb renewable energy, support new energy storage technologies, and provide additional revenue to industrial energy users and operators of low-carbon generators.
