Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

[reef]

Wow that's timed well. There's another Axel event at 0600-0700 tomorrow and then I have a happy hour later in the day to top up the battery for free.

I have 6-7 on top of 8-9 tonight also but no free energy hours tomorrow.

I did 4 hours when I joined EDF but I’m saving them for Jan.

Saving session tonight, 17:30-18:30 90 points

Is it worth using more energy around these times when there is no power down sessions so that when I do power down I’m rewarded more? Is that how it works? Last time I was rewarded 32 points and shifted 0.43kWh. Everything was off so not a lot more I could have done.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

In all honesty, it’s not worth going out of your way to engage with unless you have batteries which you would dump to the grid anyway.

 

[Bunko]

It does seem a bit of a faff. I’m happy to participate in such things but sitting in the dark and doing nothing for an hour to be credited 4p does seems a bit pointless

 

[Ron-ski]

Its only worth doing for the free hour, and that really depends how much you can use in that hour. You only have to save a tiny bit to qualify.

Once upon a time we were getting pounds per kWh saved, and we did sit in the dark, it was worth it, now I get less in a year than I got in one session back then.

 

[Bunko]

How times change, forgot about this contributing to happy hours so I’ll do a bit just not sat in the dark haha

 

[jackboy]

I change nothing other than the discharge time on my timed based schedule and get something for nothing

Just got a session notification for 16:30 - 17:30, 102 points, got to be the highest by far recently.

Shame there isn't going to much to spare.

Nothing showing in my region. Ive switched to agile export today but am exporting at 8kW so can still send out at 9.68kW if there is a saving session for the happy hours.

 

[Ron-ski]

It was only region 12, doubt very much I actually saved anything, as I have been exporting after 16:00 for a longtime, and at 4pm I only had 55% SOC, and nothing had been exported prior to that. My SOC limit is 40%, otherwise it can leave me short in the evening (clearly I need more batteries )

I exported the grand sum of 2.51 kWh in the hour, at least that earned 85p plus the Octopoints.

 

[Ron-ski]

Saving session today 2 - 3pm 144 points

Not sure on what regions at the moment.

Edit: Zone 12 only.

 

[Ron-ski]

Saving session tonight 5 - 6pm zones 4 to 12.

18.65p kWh, add that to Agile Outgoing and thats 65.5p

 

[Pyr0m@nI@]{]

Session tonight 4:30-5:30
Use less electicity for 100 octopoints

 

[Ron-ski]

Only in Zone 12 though, actually that was an early bid, it's now all zones.

 

[jackboy]

I have opted in but my battery discharges everyday at this time so not expecting to get anything

 

[reef]

Now Im on Agile export its similar for me. I normally export at 8kW and increase that to my maximum of 9.68kW during sessions just to get the token for the free weekend hours.

 

[Ron-ski]

Saving session tonight 5-6pm 20p zones 5-12

Saving session tonight 5-6pm 20p zones 5-12

It's showing 72 Octopoints (9p/kWh) for me.
