Abstract

This paper analyses one year's worth of residential load data from 300 homes, as produced publicly by a Sydney- based network supply. The data relates to residences that have a mixture of normal load, controlled load (off-peak water heating) and a considerable proportion also having roof-top solar PV. The objectives of this analysis are to determine the improved "prosumer" response by altering the off-peak controlled load switching times by using "excess" solar PV energy in the middle of the day to pre-heat the controlled load. A sample of 40 homes out of the 300 total is taken, as this amount represents a typical low voltage distributor load. The second set of analyses is done by simulating the impact of having storage at each solar PV owner's premises.
