The status quo is:
• safe
• stressed
• cheap
• ageing
And, the future could be:
• multi-vector
• whole system
• distributed
• flexible
• smart
But, change is upon us:
• climate change act
• society
• technology
• digital

Outcomes: potential case studies
Short Term Medium Term Long Term (5 years)
• Capability for local energy planning
• FPSA next phase
• SME collaboration platform
• Test facility access for SMEs
• Energy Knowledge Exchange
• Consolidated whole systems
modelling capability: one stop shop
• EPN delivers Local Area
Energy Strategies
• Heat networks displacing
legacy systems
• Multi-Vector Systems
Architecture developed
• Consensus on innovation priorities
• SSH demo. Low carbon heat
services delivered to ‘000s homes
• Multi-Vector Architecture Model
deployed; “Catapult kitemark”
supports first new technology
And we are getting clearer about what is needed..

Insights into
consumer response and
behaviour
• Decarbonisation of electricity: too slow to allow
heat and transport to transfer wholesale.
• Multi-vector low carbon heat, cold
and transport solutions.
• Energy efficiency: improve quickly.
• Energy storage and smart grids:
really important.
• Domestic energy – heat:
the biggest challenge.
• Customers: the heart of new
markets for new energy services.
• Solutions: differ by location.
• Information sharing and trust: key issues.
• Real time variation of multi-vector solutions.
• Continual system integration required.

ETI’s Smart Systems and Heat Programme
“Creating future-proof and economic local heating solutions for the UK”
Connecting together – the understanding of
consumer needs and behaviour with the development
and integration of technologies and new business
models into…
Delivering enhanced knowledge amongst industry
and public sector
Resulting in industry and investor confidence to
implement from 2020 which enables a UK heat
transition
The Energy Systems Catapult will deliver Phase
One of the SSH programme as a supplier to the
ETI following the transition of the SSH
programme team to the Catapult. From 2017 the
Catapult will be responsible for delivery of Phase
Two of the programme independently of the ETI.

Smart Systems and Heat
This critical enabling first phase of the SSH programme is funded by
the Energy Technologies Institute

SSH Team
In Nov 2015 the ETI SSH team transferred to ESC
Now c50 ESC team working on SSH in innovation, project
management & business development
ETI SSH Phase 1 funded work: Energy Path Networks; Consumer
Research HEMS development; Business Model development;
EnergyPath Operations, Retrofit Projects and Integrated Electric Heat
Modelling toolkit
SSH Phase 2 Development : overseen by a Steering Group chaired
by BEIS involving Energy Systems Catapult, OFGEM, 3 x LAs and
Welsh Government, plus ETI members EDF Energy and Hitachi. Plans
include placement of Field Trial development officers in LAs in 2017

People don’t want their comfort in bits or components!
Whilst there is a niche
that loves tinkering….
Everyone else just wants the experience
and to trust promises will be delivered…
Top Features, for illustrative reference:
Active Park Assist - Let the computer parallel park for you
Reverse sensing - Helps you not back into things
MyKey - Parents can limit the vehicle’s top speed and audio volume
Capless fuel-filler - Just open door and insert nozzle
Also – Leather, moonroof, navigation, heated front seats

The big idea is turning energy retail into an experiential
service, not billing for units of commodity consumed
This would create major benefits:
• More focus on customer value, to
understand it, shape it and deliver it
• Retailers earn customers’ trust to be able
to promise performance for low carbon heat
• Revealed consumers’ preferences can drive
evolution of the whole energy value chain
• Opens a new option to deliver low carbon,
setting long-term technology-neutral limits
• Retailers compete through long-term
innovation & supply chain investment
to find the best path to low carbon
• Opens a new option to reduce fuel poverty,
via performance contracts with public sector
