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: 0.002kWh (current diversion 0W, DHW h1d=0.0 h1b=0.0, heat battery h2d=0.0 h2b=0.0)

Heat battery control log entry: 2025-04-29T07:11Z MT 0 GI 241 IT 55 F FRbvxN ES 1

Putative current raw top-up level (when allowed): 39% (normal min 0%, max 100%).

Flags/status:

• [MT] 0% heat battery Maximum Top-up level: 0%
• [GI] Grid Intensity gCO2/kWh: 241 (7d mean 188)
• [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 B] Enphase AC Battery SoC too high to allow transfer to heat battery, or unknown [b].
• [F F] good Forecast PV generation tomorrow.
• [F R] grid is Red (high) intensity, or unknown [r].
• Recent (5/8) full days excluding today when tank or battery did not fill [nnnnnFFF]: 62%
• Recent DHW cylinder pasteurisation days including today, tank maximally Hot [H-HHHHHHH-HHHHH-].
