Advanced Dynamic Energy Pricing and Tariffs (ADEPT)

Normalised daily power demand profiles for all businesses by sector

An illustration of the differences between the tariffs used and the typical variation of the RT

How complex can and should a dynamic energy tariff be?

DIET – Data Insights against Energy Theft

• ~£400M in theft per year• £8 - £20 per property per year• Smart Metering only commercially

viable by reducing human interaction.

• Data Insights against Energy Theft (DIET)

• 2 year Innovate UK• British Gas(Lead), G4S & EDMI

• 300k meters per day, commercial customers

• 48 half-hour kWh readings per day• Details of 200 confirmed theft events

provided by partners ‘on demand’

• How to scale to near real-time for 50M meters?

• ~50k potential theft triggers per day

What can analytics say about energy usage?

• Turning Data into Actionable Information; – Supporting network functions

– Predicting and classifying costs when there is a shift in the type of tariff, e.g. shifting to a real-time tariff from a fixed price tariff.

– Clustering of load profiles, determining behaviour type and/or consumer response

– Determining fundamental drivers of energy consumption
