Mate Lorincz is a research assistant on the REDPeAK (Residential Electricity Demand: Peaks, Sequences of Activities and Markov Chains) project. He completed his PhD Degree ‘Narrowing the gap between smart metering and everyday life; comfort, cleanliness and smart metering technologies in undergraduate students’ households’, in 2017. His doctoral thesis explored the effect of the smart electricity display meters on practices-that-consume-energy in newly established student’s households; from the installation process till ‘move out’. As part of REDPeAK, Mate explores the timing, connection and coordination of electricity consuming activities in households during peak-time periods aiming to identify clusters of users whose sequence of activities might provide flexibility for peak shifting intervention.
