LATENT - findings from a two year heat deferral field trial
In order to meet UK 'net zero' objectives, residential heat demand is to be decarbonised through a combination of electrification (alongside the decarbonisation of electricity generation) and energy efficiency measures. This strategy, in combination with electric vehicles, could lead to a 200-300% increase in the UK's annual electricity demand and could introduce serious capacity issues for the electricity system. In the future, residential electrical heating or electric vehicle charging loads may need to be controlled remotely and adjusted to better suit the capacity of electricity network infrastructure.
Here we present findings from a two year field trial which aims to understand issues surrounding third-party control of electric heating systems (including heat pumps), in which a number of aspects were investigated, including: user behaviour and attitudes and the thermal response of dwellings.

Abstract
In order to meet UK 'net zero' objectives, residential heat demand is to be decarbonised through a combination of electrification (alongside the decarbonisation of electricity generation) and energy efficiency measures. This strategy, in combination with electric vehicles, could lead to a 200-300% increase in the UK's annual electricity demand and could introduce serious capacity issues for the electricity system. In the future, residential electrical heating or electric vehicle charging loads may need to be controlled remotely and adjusted to better suit the capacity of electricity network infrastructure.
Here we present findings from a two year field trial which aims to understand issues surrounding third-party control of electric heating systems (including heat pumps), in which a number of aspects were investigated, including: user behaviour and attitudes and the thermal response of dwellings.
