Product Policy Framework for Demand Side Flexibility: Case Studies

This report is a compilation of case studies mapping the status of residential product flexibility in seven jurisdictions using the EDNA Product Policy Framework for Demand Side Flexibility.  The report aims to test the effectiveness of the framework for mapping product policy and to collate approaches across a range of jurisdictions. 

Residential HEMS and controllers

This report investigates the global home energy management system (HEMS) market addressing key questions about existing products, market penetration, product categories, interoperability, and relevant policies.   

Advancing the energy efficiency of home energy storage systems

This report explores the energy efficiency of home energy storage systems (HESS), identifies current standards available to test HESS energy efficiency performance, identifies current barriers to lifting the minimum energy efficiency of HESS, and makes recommendations to address these barriers.

Overview of Flexibility Platforms

This report examines the ability of ‘flexibility platforms’ to unlock demand flexibility from appliances in the household and commercial sectors.

Data Centre Energy Efficiency Labels

This study explores energy efficiency labels for data centres by researching and analysing existing labelling schemes and making suggestions for the characteristics of a worldwide applicable data centre energy efficiency label.

Cybersecurity for Demand Flexible Appliances

This report focusses on cybersecurity threats in relation to demand flexible networked appliances.  It investigates current efforts to address these, and summarises the issues that policy makers should be aware of in relation to minimising cybersecurity risks.

Policy Brief – Energy Management Protocols

Summarises the EDNA Guide to Energy Management Protocols, which is a resource for policy makers. Gives an overview, description and categorisation of protocols, their relevance to energy management, and details of market uptake.

Guide to Energy Management Protocols

This report is a guide to ‘application layer’ communications protocols used for energy management, such as those used to facilitate intelligent efficiency and demand flexibility.

Standardisation for Smart Devices

This report highlights the most relevant standards in areas such as measurement of energy consumption of smart devices, and communication protocols for smart devices.
