Introduction: The project investigates the impacts of multiple LCTs deployed within a domestic property and the value of
coordination.

Objectives: The Project Objectives are:

Use the ability of managing multiple energy assets (EVs, hybrid heating systems and solar PV) to switch between gas and electric load to provide fuel arbitrage and highly flexible demand response services.
Demonstrate the potential consumer, network, carbon and energy system benefits of large-scale deployment of in-home multi-energy assets with an aggregated demand response control system.
Gain insights into the means of balancing the interests of the consumer, supplier, and network operators when seeking to derive value from the demand flexibility.

Expected Benefits: Coordination of LCT flexibility.
