Earth NotesThe <a href="https://mastodon.energy/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> (indeed all storage including <a href="https://mastodon.energy/tags/offGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#offGrid</a>) filled up for the first time this year! So monthly electricity use stayed up as consumption switched from space heat to heat storage, kinda!<a href="https://www.earth.org.uk/out/monthly/16WWMonthlyElectricityConsumption.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.earth.org.uk/out/monthly/16WWMonthlyElectricityConsumption.png</a>

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> in the morning I shall be part of an assessment panel for first year CS students business presentations. This afternoon I really hope to be back on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>!(Yesterday was sunny and filled battery and DHW tank and started to refill the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> and today's sunshine may be enough to fill the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> - my day has so much pending excitement!)

DamonHDThe <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> pipework has been insulated, the PRV installed, and diversion heat is trickling into the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battery</a> so I think that - given that I seem to have some sort of annoying cold/whatevs - I should test the system FOR SCIENCE and medicinally with a nice hot bath!

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> we are on a tidy-up day for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sunamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sunamp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Thermino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thermino</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatbattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatbattery</a> <a href="https://www.earth.org.uk/reconnecting-the-16WW-heat-battery.html#2025-03-06" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.earth.org.uk/reconnecting-the-16WW-heat-battery.html#2025-03-06</a>I have some optimisations in mind, but those can all come after we have things looking generally spick and span...

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> I had lunch with a friend. I observed an unexpected <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHW</a> tank <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pasteurisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pasteurisation</a> cycle in the morning and expected <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> PV diversion in the afternoon, with the PV generation also covering significant <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatPump</a> consumption. I am planning for presenting/MCing some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/entrepreneurship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entrepreneurship</a> stuff at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uni</a> on Wednesday.

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> I am recovering from several busy and social days on the trot, enjoying the morning sunshine, and watching to see if the reconncted <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> gets to do its thing (yesterday it did not quite get the chance)... I may also get to put some temporary lagging on the new DHW pipework.

DamonHDHurrah!Other than some tidying up of cables and insulation of new DHW pipework, I think that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> is go!<a href="https://www.earth.org.uk/reconnecting-the-16WW-heat-battery.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.earth.org.uk/reconnecting-the-16WW-heat-battery.html</a>

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> I am hoping that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> reconnection will finish. Some heat (~0.5kWh) has already diverted to the DHW tank in the absense of the heat battery.Listening to: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bangers-and-mashtival/dynamike-live-bangers-mashtival-2023" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/bangers-and-mashtival/dynamike-live-bangers-mashtival-2023</a> (I paid for my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bangers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bangers</a>' ticket yesterday!)

DamonHD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> catching up on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NewScientist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewScientist</a>. More <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> reconnection should happen today too.

DamonHDHurrah, I submitted my talk proposal, so I may reward myself by doing some other admin. %-PI can't concentrate that hard because the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heatBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatBattery</a> is being painstakingly reconnected and the house is full of noise and soldering heat and fumes!
