The Scorching Water Affiliation (HWA) and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE) are internet hosting a devoted webinar to supply heating engineers with steering on power storage potential and ‘grid enabled’ scorching water shops.
Going down on 13 February between 6pm and 7pm, the occasion will likely be hosted by Kevin Lowe, Technical Supervisor on the HWA, and Alan Clarke, Technical Marketing consultant on the HWA.
This follows the discharge of an business report from the HWA, entitled Linked Properties, which recognized the potential for decent water cylinders for use as thermal shops for grid electrical energy to construct resilience in peak intervals.
Kevin Lowe commented: “As tackling power safety stays one of many UK’s major challenges, it’s essential that business consciousness of the potential position of scorching water cylinders within the power combine continues to develop. By making present and new cylinders related in houses throughout the nation, heating engineers have an essential half to play.”
The report revealed that if the 9 million cylinders in UK houses had been related by way of sensible controls and used as batteries, the Nationwide Grid might unlock 23GWh of power storage – almost half the UK’s day by day power utilization.
Kevin continued: “To profit from this power storage potential, cylinders require sensible functionalities launched both by way of retrofitting sensible controls, or brand-new cylinders have to be put in with gasoline boilers or warmth pumps. It’s crucial that owners are satisfied to make this undertaking a actuality. As many rightfully depend on the data of the nation’s heating consultants, they’re key to making sure that scorching water cylinders are used to alleviate strain on {the electrical} grid.”
“We have now partnered with the CIPHE to host a webinar for heating engineers desirous about discovering out extra in regards to the half they will play. Following the discharge of the HWA’s Linked Properties report, it’s important that we lead by instance, beginning by suitably getting ready the UK’s heating engineers to unlock the potential of scorching water storage cylinders.”
