Home-Based Flexible Demand Management H-BFDM

由于政府改变能源政策以应对气候变化，DNO预计将面临电力需求的增长。如果这种需求发生在现有网络高峰期，DNO将面临一个艰巨的挑战，即在不过度投资网络加固的情况下确保容量。除了消费者对白色和棕色产品的需求不断增长以及热泵和电动汽车的增长外，分布式光伏发电的采用正在进一步限制为较小单向负载设计的网络。除非消费者的需求变得更加灵活，否则继续加强低压网络将是管理配电基础设施的一个昂贵的现实。英国电力网络正在与PassivSystems一起研究从住宅客户创造灵活需求的可行性，以减少峰值负荷增长，从而减少对传统网络加强的需求。

As a result of changing Government energy policy to tackle climate change DNOs expect to face growth in electricity demand. If this demand occurs at times of existing network peaks, DNOs face a difficult challenge of ensuring capacity without over investing in network reinforcement.In addition to growing consumer demand for white and brown goods and growth in heat pumps and EVs, the uptake of distributed PV generation is placing further constraints on networks designed for smaller, one way loads. Unless consumer demands become more flexible, continuing reinforcement of the low voltage network will be an expensive reality of managing the distribution infrastructure.UK Power Networks is examining with PassivSystems the feasibility of creating flexible demand from residential customers in order to reduce peak load growth and thereby reduce the need for traditional network reinforcement.
