ENERGY STORAGE AND ICT

How do we maximise the opportunity from Distributed Energy Storage in Buildings?

• Store the intermittent renewable energy efficiently for future use when there is consumer demand: -

- Smart Electric Thermal Storage (Dimplex Quantum)

• What is required to facilitate this?

- Smart Grid Technology with ICT innovation- Energy Market Mechanisms- Collaboration between industry players
