Description

This SBRI competition aims to support feasibility studies to improve and develop understanding of how energy management systems (EMS) can act together with energy smart appliances to deliver interoperable demand side response.

The IDSR programme consists of three Streams of work, to support the innovation, design, and demonstration of interoperable demand side response (DSR) systems. This Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Competition forms Stream 3 of the Interoperable Demand-Side Response programme.

Through a pre-commercial procurement SBRI competition, BEIS seeks to support feasibility studies to improve and develop understanding of how energy management systems (EMS) can act together with energy smart appliances to deliver interoperable demand side response.

Total funding of £150,000 is available for Stream 3 of the Interoperable Demand Side Response programme, with a maximum of £30,000 per Project. We anticipate funding 5 projects under this Stream.

You can find other interested stakeholders to collaborate with by signing up to our networking platform - https://flexibility-innovation-programme-collaboration.b2match.io/

Further information about the IDSR programme including the Competition Guidance Notes for all three IDSR programme Streams is available on the Competition website - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/interoperable-demand-side-response-programme-apply-for-stream-3-opportunities.

The IDSR programme is part of the up to £65 million overarching Flexibility Innovation Programme which seeks to enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme will fund innovation across a range of key smart energy applications and sits within the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
