Abstract:

This is the Final Report of the ETI project by Delta Energy & Environment to Review International Smart Systems and Heat Initiatives. This follows an initial piece of research undertaken by the ETI in 2011 examining this question. The work is intended to provide a digestible overview which links to the driving policies where appropriate, and complements a review undertaken during the scoping phase of the programme. The report:

Examines initiatives (with a clear focus on heat), successes and lessons learned; their outcomes / next steps; and possible learnings for the UK
Identifies the policies driving these initiatives
Identifies who’s involved and why

Key recommendations:

Recommended countries where there are many learnings for the ETI are Denmark and the Netherlands– heat pumps, market structures, district heating, and exploiting synergies between electric and gas networks.
Specific projects / areas for investigation in these countries are pointed out
Consider customer recruitment for trials at a very early stage and place the customer proposition at the heart of project design
The ETI may be able to utilise platforms / hardware / software that has already been developed for other projects
We see an absence, generally, of how gas, electricity and heat networks can work together, but some projects integrating two networks into a wider system. We believe this is a critically important aspect of a ‘smart heat system’
Business models and market frameworks that the ETI could utilise
Examples of highly relevant purely private sector innovations
