    Episode 63 Smart Energy and Data The show notes: www.houseplanninghelp.com/63 Intro: Data is what we're talking about today. When I go to various different talks they will often reflect on data that has been collected, whether it's from moisture sensors or CO2 sensors so I did wonder whether it's something that I should be doing on my project, making sure that there is something useful coming out of it in terms of data. That probably means planning upfront so I just wanted to find out all about that. Recently I saw a talk on smart energy so I thought we'd tie this all together and see how we go with it. Doug King has a lot of experience in construction, particularly high performance buildings - which is what we like - and he's someone that I've been wanting to talk to for a while. I started by asking him for a little bit of background on his work. Doug: I started out as a physicist. I fell into the profession of building services engineering, out of curiosity, and then I spent the last 20 years thinking about how building services systems work together with building fabric, with the technology to control them and finally how human beings relate to all of that as a system in order to try and understand the key issues about optimisation, how to get these things working together properly rather than the building services systems fighting against the building fabric and the users not understanding what the hell is going on.

  • Task XIII Guide Book 6
    Version 6.0 IEA DSM Task XIII Project Guidebook November 2006 Copyright 2006 - IEA DRR LLC - Proprietary Information SECTION 6: DR TECHNOLOGIES 2 I. INTRODUCTION We all use tools to simplify our daily lives. Things such as the hammer, coffee maker, and computer are used to reduce the time it takes to complete a life’s daily chores. The demand response industry has also developed technologies that simplify the implementation and utilization of DR resources in the energy marketplace. In order for a DR resource to be useful in the energy market it must have the ability to react when needed and its response must be measurable. Tools and systems have been developed that help activate a DR asset (e.g. direct load control) and manage a DR asset portfolio (e.g. DR software products). These and other DR related technologies help the DR resource react to load reduction request and opportunities and they help provide the business process mechanisms that connect the resource to the energy marketplace. This chapter will explore how technology is being used in the demand response industry today. The objective of this section is to help the DR market participant identify technologies and systems that are used to make DR more effective in the energy marketplace from the perspective of the participating customer, the energy provider and the system operator. Improvement in communication and metering technologies has helped the demand response industry grow in recent years. In fact, some people have suggested that the demand response industry was made possible by the improvement and wide scale deployment of Internet communications in the late 1990s.

  • Dynamic Ancillary Service Provided by Loads with Inherent Energy Storage
    Dynamic Ancillary Service Provided By Loads With Inherent Energy Storage Katie Bloor(1), Andrew Howe(1), Alessandra Suardi(2), Stefano Frattesi(2) RLtec(1) 75-76 Shoe Lane, London EC4A 3BQ, UK [email protected], [email protected]. Indesit Company(2) Viale A. Merloni 47 - 60044 Fabriano (AN), Italy [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Dynamic Demand; Demand-side management partner and will provide the refrigerators implementing this (DSM); Frequency regulation; Demand response innovative control technique for the field trial. Abstract Electrical load devices with inherent energy storage can be used to provide a loss-less energy storage service to an electricity grid without any noticeable effect to the load owner. Populations of such loads can autonomously provide distributed response regulation, displacing large generation regulation services. This leads to a significant saving in emissions (including CO2) in the electricity supply industry. The authors have run a laboratory trial of refrigerators, where the refrigerator’s electronic control board has been modified to provide the autonomous “Energy Balancing Controller” (EBC) function. The laboratory test rig allows the grid service response level to be determined, mirroring standard practice in the UK for large generator set response (regulation service) testing. In a field-scale deployment of EBC-enabled refrigerators, examples of grid Smart Appliances, the authors have designed an instrumentation system interfacing smart appliances with an in-line home energy monitor device, and connecting to a central data server. The server provides real- time monitoring of the grid response (ancillary) service by collecting certain physical variables measured in each individual Smart Appliance.

    Green Building Series Renewable Energy INTRODUCTORY GUIDEBOOK DEVELOPED FOR HOMEOWNERS in the REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NANAIMO British Columbia, Canada Introduction of Residential Renewable Energy Systems MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NANAIMO On behalf of the Regional District of Nanaimo Board of Directors, I’m pleased to present the RDN’s second Green Building Best Practices Guidebook. This volume focuses on Residential Scale Renewable Energy Systems. Whether residents are passionate about addressing climate change, or motivated by personal responsibility, independence and self-sufficiency, this Guidebook aims to provide useful information on the different types of renewable energy systems suitable for the Regional District of Nanai- mo. Transitioning toward renewable energy systems and putting the power to generate energy into the hands of local residents combines taking re- sponsibility for our own needs with economic development opportuni- ties and environmental benefits. Our hope with this work is to help that transition along, ensuring that the RDN remains a great place to live for generations to come.

  • Interactive Home Energy Monitor MECHENG 589
    1 Interactive Home Energy Monitor MECHENG 589 Fall 2013 Prof. Steven Skerlos TEAM 881-9 Alexandre Kobuti Cody Berman Deepankar Thakur 2 Executive Summary According to EIA, average US household consumed 11,320 kWh of electricity in 2009 with about 66% of it being consumed by appliances, electronics, lighting and such.i(Electricity explained: Use of electricity, 2012) Our surveys confirmed the theory that most residential consumers are not aware of how much energy they use and where it goes. We extended our study to include consumers in Brazil in addition to USA and had similar findings. Not knowing where the energy is used, makes it hard to focus conservation efforts. For example, people replace their lamps with CFL bulbs because they are told it conserves energy, but are not clear where to look for savings elsewhere. Currently energy monitors available in the market only offer a partial solution and are not widely in use over long period of time. The Interactive Home Energy Monitor works to fill this gap in the market by providing customers additional knowledge about their energy consumption and encouraging sustainable behavioral adjustments to curb electric energy use. This device measures the amount of power coming into a home, and records this data. Energy usage information is transmitted to a server in real-time. Using either a website or a mobile application, the user can see their up to date energy usage and historical data. In addition to just displaying the data, the device will rely heavily on software intelligence. Ethnographic data showed that potential users are not confident in which devices consume the most energy in their house, and what device replacement would result in the greatest savings.
