Research project

Developing methods to model local area temporal domestic electricity demand

Project overview

The purpose of this 35 month EU International Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2015) was to implement a programme of research, training and impact activities intended to provide a step change in the level of understanding of, and modelling capacity for, spatially disaggregated temporal domestic electricity demand in a smart grid and demand response context.

This programme was developed in partnership with internationally recognised experts led by the University of Otago (host) who are pioneering in this field.
