Analysis of Gender and Diversity Factors in Relation to Energy Consumption Flexibility
The graphic provides an overview of the approach to the quantitative analysis of household flexibility and the conclusions derived from it. Electricity consumption, recorded via smart meters, was combined with diversity dimensions and associated aspects such as gender, household structure, income, and available technologies. Treatments implemented during field tests, such as tariff reductions for peak load reductions, were documented in the dataset. Quantitative methods, including F-tests or Levene's test for variance, regression analysis, and plots of average consumption, were used to gain insights into consumption patterns and identify diversity-specific differences. Building on these findings, data quality criteria for future research were formulated, and a stronger inclusion of diverse user groups in demand-side management (DSM) programs was recommended.

Diversity-specific flexibility framework for demand-side management
The framework illustrates the connections between the diversity dimensions of gender, age, and income, as well as the subcategories of parenthood and ownership, with willingness to be flexible, acceptance of external control, and flexibility driven by technology or social factors. Women exhibit an increased socially-driven flexibility, as they are more often responsible for the relevant activities, while men tend to have greater technologically-driven flexibility and are more interested in automation and financial benefits. Younger and older individuals are generally more willing to be flexible, with younger people being more open to accepting external control, whereas older individuals are more likely to reject it. Technologically and socially-driven flexibility is significantly influenced by parenthood, which tends to limit social flexibility but can enhance technological flexibility and foster willingness. Both higher and lower incomes can promote willingness, with financial motives being a central driver for those with lower incomes. Higher incomes also positively impact the ability to be flexible (both technologically and socially). Ownership of electric vehicles (EVs) or single-family homes plays a key role, enhancing willingness, acceptance of external control (in the case of homeowners with prosumer technologies), and technologically-driven flexibility.

Visualisation of TCPs
After selecting a topic (in this example "Electricity transmission and distribution" was selected), this graph shows all tasks (activities) focussing on the selected topic. The topics are structured according to the IEA energy RD&D budget/expenditure statistics. Additionally, you can see the related Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs). Activities which had been ongoing in Summer 2020 from all IEA-TCPs are covered in this analysis. You can re-arrange the different bubbles to better meet the needs of your analysis. If a TCP consists of more than one task (activity), it also contains one entry in the database labelled “ExCo-Activities”.

Membrane tests for the analysis of surface properties
By means of contact angle measurements, the membrane can be analyzed before and after its application and conclusions can be drawn about its functionality and usability.

Contact angle measurement on membrane
A defined drop of a liquid is deposited on the membrane to be analyzed. The contact angle between the membrane and the liquid is then measured.
