DESIRE (Domestic Energy Storage Integrating Renewable Energy)

该项目将探索将电网需求响应服务与家庭热水和电池存储相结合的供应链。如果成功，该项目将开辟新的供应链和收入来源，从而支持大规模间歇性能源与电网的整合。Upside Energy开发了一种新颖的基于云的需求响应平台，该平台将在试验过程中设计一系列Mixergy坦克和Powervault家用电池系统。Mixergy开发了一系列创新的电热水箱，这些热水箱具有智能控制和传感功能，因此能够与Upside的平台进行通信。Powervault获奖的家用电池系统将使Upside能够提供双向储能服务。该试验的目标是：了解分布式储能系统的系统价值如何激励利益相关者安装智能水箱和电池;量化家庭中存在的真正多矢量储能潜力;评估消费者的反应;为集成电池/热水箱系统开发最佳控制策略并确定最佳供应

The DESIRE project will explore supply chains that integrate grid demand response services with domestic hotwater and battery storage. If successful, the project will open up new supply chains and income streams formarkets that can underpin the intergation of large-scale intermittent energy into the grid. Upside Energy hasdeveloped a novel, cloud-based, demand response platform which will choreograph a fleet of Mixergy tanksand Powervault home battery systems over the course of the trial. Mixergy have developed a range ofinnovative electric hot water tanks that have intelligent controls and sensing, so enabling them to communicatewith Upside's platform. Powervault's award winning home battery system will enable Upside to provide abidirectional energy storage service. The objectives of the trial will be: to understand how systemic value fromdistributed energy storage can incentivise stakeholders to install intelligent tanks & batteries; to quantify thetrue multi-vector energy storage potential that exists within households; to assess consumer responses; todevelop optimal control strategies for integrated battery / hot water tank systems & identify optimum supply
