• Python data extraction
  • National Grid - embedded wind and solar generation - to 7 days
  • Elexon - transmission system wind generation to 2 days
  • Elexon - 1 day hourly demand, 7 days peak demand
  • Peak demand and previous weeks demand used to project hourly demand
  • Therefore 2 days of hourly low carbon generation and electricity demand
• Web interface
  • Translates the above data to a message which is easily understood by user
  • In this case "Should I bake"
  • Simple yes no message
  • Greater sophistication and other uses possible

Brief Description

Example outputs 1.

Example outputs 2.

Example outputs 3.

Example outputs 4.

Future Iterations

• Simulate transmission generation to extend timescale
  • using proof of concept model
• More sophisticated message
  • e.g. tiered scheduling
  • Auto scheduling via smart home
• Add other generation
  • e.g. biomass, Hydro, Nuclear?
  • European power?
• Advertising
• Commercial power scheduling
