Dynamic Response

What is Dynamic Response

A means of load shifting electricity from off peak

to peak times, through battery storage, with the

demand reduction being a tradable commodity.

How it works and where are

the batteries

• Batteries are placed on site, for example office

block, hospital etc.

• The batteries are sized between 100Kwh to

3Mwh

• The Batteries are behind the Fiscal meter

• The batteries do not export power to the grid

Potential

• If 1,000 sites installed 1Mwh of Batteries,

although the potential number of sites that

could install would be far larger

• Potential 1Gwh of reduced demand for 1,000

sites

• Reduction can be targeted at the substation

level

• Batteries can be installed at domestic level

Finance

• The batteries can be leased to sites, add

security of supply

• Income sources

• Payment for using excess exports from

solar/wind

• Avoidance DUoS, TNUoS, red band charges

• Reduction in need to pay peak prices

• Payment for Mwh of Demand Reduction

Dynamic Response Benefits

• Security of supply for businesses

• Potential reduction need for power on the

grid

• A levelled grid

• Lower energy prices

• Carbon emissions reduction
