"Building Automation and the Cloud" 3:00 pm Tuesday January 26 Toby Considine and Ken Sinclair Session 5 Collaborative Energy: Informed Communities of Building Systems
Who are we? and Why are we here? Toby ConsidineTC9, Inc plus most important our contributing editorso you can read about what he speaks online @ www.automatedbuildings.com and I amKen Sinclair Editor/Owner
Collaborative Energy: Informed Communities of Building Systems Collaborative energy relies on clear price signals and market interactions to engage the occupants of the end nodes in active participation in energy. Today, early forms of collaborative energy are in operation, the result of custom engineering and proprietary signals. In a few places, these buildings receive signals form OpenADR (automated demand response). OpenADR is a hybrid signal, halfway between managed and collaborative energy.
Building Automation gets Griddy while colliding with the corporate Enterprise
The value in Smart Grids comes from aligning supply and demand
Old Grid • Smart generation—predictable and reliable • Dumb consumption—uncontrolled and stochastically managed • Innovation comes from the core • Arbitrage is most expensive service of the old grid • Price and Availability
New Grid • Dumb Generation—any number of unpredictable and intermittent sources • Smart Consumption—consumers adjust to dynamically changing supplies
Every end node of a smart grid is a micro-grid. • Microgrids that are actively managed are more valuable • Microgrids may encapsulate additional end nodes.
Someone has to manage the end nodes • Managed Energy • Direct load control and grid-based intelligence • Today’s utility-based model • Collaborative Energy • End nodes are full participants in matching demand to supply • Higher service and better amenities
Market-oriented interfaces of the grid • Price and Product Communication • EMIX • Schedules and Intervals • WS-Calendar • Energy Usage • Markets and Interactions • Energy Interoperation
Reducing integration overhead • Device Discovery and Profiles • WS-DD, WS-DP • Building Information Models (BIM) • Energy models commission the design • COBIE • Continuous commissioning to the energy model • GBXML • From model to interface
Eliminate barriers, • Smart grids are smart because they reward innovation • Scale and mission limit innovation from the core • The end nodes can innovate because they can accept risk
Buildings systems monitor service provided and energy use • Sensors and Services • May be in the Clouds
Microgrids are aware of the motives of their inhabitants • Industrial Processes • Business Schedules • Home Life and Values
Building-based smart grids support consumer values • Privacy • Preservation of 4th Amendment protections • Autonomy
Building based systems better support performance and customer values than top-down grid management can. This service is worth something… Toby.considine@gmail.com for references and links DISCUSSION
