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 boost today: 0.747kWh (diversion now 0W, DHW h1d=0.0 h1b=0.0, heat battery h2d=0.7 h2b=0.0)

Heat battery control log entry: 2026-08-18T19:01Z MT 0 GI 226 IT 55 F R2TCN ES 1

Putative current raw top-up level (when allowed): 27% (normal min 0%, max 100%).

Eddi output priority 2: Thermino heat battery.

Flags/status:

• [MT] 0% heat battery Maximum Top-up level: 0%
• [GI] Grid Intensity gCO2/kWh: 226 (7d mean 186)
• [IT] Grid gCO2/kWh Intensity Threshold below which discretionary top-up is allowed: 55.
• [F ] expected grid demand from High (peak) / - (normal) / Low (off-peak).
• [F R] grid is Red (high) intensity, or unknown [r].
• [F T] heat battery nearly full or full.
• Recent (3/8) full days excluding today when heat battery did not fill [FFFFnFnn]: 37%
• Recent DHW cylinder pasteurisation days including today, tank maximally Hot [-----HH----H-------].
• Grid frequency response minutes today (~40% of active): 17
