- Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Project Drum - How End Farm, community led RES surplus energy export potential and methane/gas production for self-consumption/export
- Stankovic, Lina (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Vladimir (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Principal Investigator)
- The goal of this project is to perform an analysis on the renewable energy exporting potential (wind/solar/anaerobic digester) in order to inform business case models that will explore community energy sharing schemes, battery storage and export, EV charging etc.
- 27-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2024
- Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Project Drum - Beckside farm energy balancing and surplus exporting potential under a community led scheme
- Stankovic, Vladimir (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Lina (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher)
- In this project the optimal exploitation of the renewable energy surplus (solar/hydro) in dairy farms will be explored together with possibilities for load shifting in order to optimise the energy self-consumption. The exploitation of the available land and roof space for the installation of additional renewables to further increase the passive cash flows of the farm will also be explored, as well as investments in energy storage and diversifying clean energy production to inform further studies on community energy sharing and business models development for energy sharing.
- 27-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2024
- Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Project Drum - Orton Grange farm energy management in a dairy farm with a highly diversified portfolio and RES surplus exporting potential under a community led scheme
- Stankovic, Lina (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Vladimir (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher)
- The goal of this project is to perform an analysis on the renewable energy exporting potential from renewable energy sources including solar PV and wind, against the demands of a housed energy intensive pedigree dairy farm milking using a traditional herringbone parlour with a number of diversified businesses including a café, food hall, swimming pool and other retail activities. Through this analysis, energy availability and feasibility of exploiting the energy surplus will be explored in order to inform business models of community energy sharing, battery storage and export, EV charging etc.

- Digital Dairy Chain Innovation Voucher: Littleton Farm - Exploring diverse renewables portfolio to accelerate net-zero transition
- Stankovic, Vladimir (Principal Investigator) Stankovic, Lina (Co-investigator) Vavouris, Apostolos (Researcher) Sobot, Tamara (Researcher)
- The goal of this project is to significantly improve energy efficiency of dairy farms with local energy generation by understanding energy demand on the farm and demand flexibilities and provide a set of recommendations such as load shifting, change of practices or processes, upgrade/retrofit or new investments. The methodology will be built leveraging knowledge gained from two dairy farms in the Luce Bay area that are of different scale (small scale ~300 cows to medium-large scale ~1100 cows) with different milking equipment (parallel/rotary parlours), different renewable on-site generation sources including solar and wind power, and hence very different energy demand.
