We'd like your feedback! Here are the questions Usman mentions in the video...
Firstly, the role of heat storage:
• What are the latest technological developments for heat storage? In FES 19, we assume that around 25% of the homes with electrical heating also have some form of heat storage. Is this a realistic assumption?
• What kind of policy and legislation would need to develop to incentivise home owners to use heat storage systems over peak? Are there no regrets next steps in this area?
Secondly, factors affecting consumer behaviour over peak heating times:
• How might insulation or any other factors impact how long a heating system can be turned off for without consumer impact / discomfort?
• What factors might influence whether households would be prepared to reduce their heating demand over peak times? Are there no regrets next steps in this area?
Thirdly, the use of heat pumps in very cold weather:
• When external temperatures get very low, how might this affect the performance of heat pumps in the UK?
• When external temperatures get very low how will that affect heating behaviour?
