Details

The Smart Meter Energy Data Repository (SEDR) programme, of up to £1 million, aims to support innovation to determine the technical and commercial feasibility of a smart meter energy data repository, quantify the benefits and costs of such a smart meter energy data repository, and simulate how it could work.

The programme consists of 2 phases:

• Phase 1: feasibility, establishing the feasibility of a smart meter energy data repository through funding feasibility studies and proposing a Technical Solution for establishing a system-wide repository
• Phase 2: developing and demonstrating a ‘proof of concept’ capable of simulating key features of a smart meter energy data repository and setting out recommendations for how a system wide repository may be created

Background

The smart metering system is a rich source of energy related data (consumption, price, demand, voltage etc) but this data is effectively distributed across the millions of meters that generate and store it.  As such, as a ‘big data’ set, it is difficult to access, requiring serial requests.  In addition, there may be limitations at the device level, HAN level, WAN level and DSP (Data Service Provider) level that restrict innovative use cases.

A single secure cloud-based repository of smart meter energy data would offer potential consumer benefits including those related to flexibility services and other energy data-related services that are currently unrealised, or unrealisable.

This programme is part of the up to £65 million overarching Flexibility Innovation Programme which seeks to enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme will fund innovation across a range of key smart energy applications, and sits within the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
