Earth Notes: Heat Battery Grid Top-up Maximum

(See the control parameters, logs, dataset and backstory.)

This page shows the maximum percent-full to top-up to from the grid, if any, for the DHW heat battery.

Diversion plus top-up today: 0kWh

Heat battery control log entry: 2024-09-19T06:31Z MT 0 GI 225 IT 137 F FRpqbvx ES 1

Putative current raw top-up level (when allowed): 15% (normal min 0%, max 100%).

Flags/status:

• [MT] 0% heat battery Maximum Top-up level: 0%
• [GI] Grid Intensity gCO2/kWh: 225 (7d mean 153)
• [IT] Grid gCO2/kWh Intensity Threshold below which discretionary top-up is allowed: 137.
• [F ] expected grid demand from High (peak) / - (normal) / Low (off-peak).
• [F F] good Forecast PV generation tomorrow.
• [F R] grid is Red (high) intensity, or unknown [r].
• Recent (2/8) days when battery did not fill: 25%
