Welcome to POWBAL. POWBAL is an initiative and research project by Imperial and LSE researchers. POWBAL wants to make the energy sector cleaner by moving power consumption to time periods when power generation is cleanest. This requires new technology. More importantly, it requires an understanding of the behavioural drivers of adoption of those technologies. At POWBAL we develop simple technological solutions to facilitate load shifting and examine the adoption behaviour by users.
Projects
POWBAL and TATA Power
In collaboration with TATA Power, Powbal is conducting experiments with residential electricity customers in Delhi and Mumbai to study the role of automation and incentives in leveraging flexibility in household power demand.
Energy Monitoring
With the POWBAL platform we can easily deploy monitoring solutions at the device level. This can be useful for understanding which devices exactly are making up your energy demand.
POWBAL in Student Halls
An early powbal pilot project in student halls in and around London.
POWBAL with university staff
What’s the real energy consumption of organisations when most are working from home and how can we make it cleaner?
