A new take on district heating and #flexibility: can dynamic pricing help reduce overall heating costs? The short answer is yes, and automatic controllers would reinforce this effect. Peak heat demand, sometimes also from fossil sources, can thus be reduced.

The left graph shows production costs, consumer prices and target demand over a 24-hour period. The first two are negatively correlated with the third.
The right graph shows the production cost reduction in five different demand response scenarios: up to 52.6%.

WFH has made my quads very tight... I found that out when I started practicing the Asian/deep squats.
Calves and Achilles, oddly not so much of an issue.
I am trying to target flexibility/mobility with different stretching positions, and it is definitely making a difference.

One of the many interesting pages in the Future Energy Scenarios 2025, published today by NESO (🇬🇧 National Energy System Operator).
It focuses on the why, how and what of demand side flexibility.
Key: reward consumers, build trust, automate and smart tariffs.
EV smart charging gateway to more residential flex.

screenshot of report page: harnessing demand side flexibility to benefit both consumers and the system
Demand flexibility reduces both peak electricity demand and the need for supply side infrastructure.

Rewarding consumers for their high levels of engagement in demand flex has the potential to halve peak electricity demand

I have been 'resting' when in town by doing Asian/Deep Squats and feel very self conscious as it's not something people regularly do here.
