Dr Ben Anderson and Dr Tom Rushby recently responded to the Energy Networks Association’s consultation on ‘flexibility’. In a a short paper summarising relevant ECCD and colleagues’ research to date they concentrated on the following questions:
- New DSO Services–2020 Product 5
- Q6 At what point do you believe it is appropriate to standardise new products? For example, should we initiate standardisation early onlimited experience, or allow more than 2-3 DNOs to developand procuresimilar products before commencing standardisation?
- Residential Flexibility
- Q17b-Can you identify any barriers that might currently exist, along with potential solutions?
Their responses drew on their experiences with the SAVE demand response trials as well as longer-term experience in the development of open standards via the IETF.
