Energy Masters

Demonstrating aggregated household flexibility in the South Australian Power Network.

Research status

Overview

This $13.8 million project will see SA Power Networks install consumer energy resources (CER) and smart energy appliances in 500 homes, with energy use optimised by a home energy management system (HEMS), in an Australian first demonstration of aggregated flexible demand in residential settings. The project will pioneer the coordination of residential CER and smart appliances to better match energy use to supply and respond to market signals, shifting households’ energy use away from peak demand periods.

CEEM, together with the University of South Australia and UTS, will be undertaking the research component of the project.
