Notice Title

SBRI - Flexibility Innovation - Automatic Asset Registration (AAR) Phase 2 and 3

Notice Description

Over the next decade it is expected that millions of low carbon technologies (LCT) will be installed in Great Britain (GB), including heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers, solar photovoltaics (PV) and home battery energy storage systems. While this will deliver benefits to society through lower power bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, it presents challenges for the electricity grid. Visibility of small-scale energy assets is critical to realising their full potential. This project will develop a solution - an automated asset registration process and a central asset register compatible with LCTs smaller than 1 MW. The LCT Connect project leverages GreenSync's proven deX technology and experience in Australia, and will innovate on the existing deX software platform, tailoring and extending its capability to reflect the GB context. The core project team, led by GreenSync and guided by Energy Systems Catapult's regulatory advice, will be supported by a broad and diverse range of companies from across the energy sector. This includes LCT manufacturers, installers, distribution network operators, energy retailers and flexibility providers as well as cybersecurity specialists and innovators. Collectively, the team will develop and test in a real-world environment an innovative automatic asset registration and central asset register solution that enables LCTs to be digitally and securely registered and visible to all market participants with ease and accuracy. The project will also identify and assess sustainable commercial and operating models that will best support implementation in the GB energy system; and will seek input and insights from other stakeholders such as end consumers, local authorities and government institutions to explore the admissibility, regulation and policies, data privacy and other relevant requirements for building and managing a nationwide automatic asset registration and central asset register solution.
