This report provides a methodology and appraisal for determining the control schemes of residential battery storage installations given half-hourly electricity interval meter data for a set of households with known residential battery storage installations.
The analysis found that in each state, approximately 92% of households have solar-shifting control schemes, 6% have price-dependent control schemes, and 2% have ‘other’ control schemes. Those households deemed as using ‘other’ control schemes seem to have either consistent peaky loads, large solar panels or batteries, and therefore may also just be solar shifting households incorrectly identified as ‘other’.
