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.
Analysis of PstLM and stroboscopic visibility measure variations due to different measurement conditions
Temporal Light Artifacts (TLAs) are undesired visual perceptual effects, caused by Temporal Light Modulations (TLMs), which commonly exist in lighting systems, especially LED lighting systems. Accurate measurement of TLM and evaluation of TLA metrics, specifically the stroboscopic visibility measure (SVM) and the short-term flicker indicator (PstLM), are required by certain product safety regulations with limit values specified.
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.
