An Architecture for Energy Savings

This article explores the concept of energy savings in buildings and the potential benefits of implementing a smart grid system. It discusses various aspects such as traditional and distributed generation, transmission/distribution, smart load management, and the role of commercial and public-sector as well as residential buildings in energy consumption. The article also highlights Cisco EnergyWise and its phased development for enhanced energy management in IT and building control.

  1. An Architecture for Energy Savings Stephen Wolff Cisco Systems

  2. Being green • Smart grid • Generation • Traditional (bulk, point) • Distributed • Transmission/distribution • Smart load • Commercial and public-sector • Residential

  3. Buildings consume 50% of world’s energy Buildings 50% Transportation 25% Manufacturing 25% Sources: BOMA 2006, EIA 2006, AIA 2006

  4. Office Building Loads IT Equipment 25% Lighting 11% Other 6% Heating, Cooling, and Ventilation 58% Source: UK Energy Efficiency Best Practice Program; Energy Consumption Guide 19: Energy Use in Offices “It takes twice as much energy to remove the heat generated … as it takes to run the equipment.” • UK Department of the Environment, • Good Practice Guide 118

  5. Cisco EnergyWise • Individual elements of an IT installation can be controlled individually, but a systems approach is likely to be more productive • IT devices are interconnected by a network, so it is not unreasonable to embed system-wide energy-control intelligence into the network elements themselves • Cisco EnergyWise comprises additions to IOS and the CLI that enable energy management

  6. Flexibility • Devices – • are assigned to domains • have names and roles • may have keywords stored in them • may have an importance (0-100) assigned to them • EnergyWise commands can use these attributes

  7. Cisco EnergyWisePhased Development Phase 3 Phase 2 Enhanced Building Control Phase 1 IT Control Network Control Non-PoE Devices (PCs) Partner IT Power Mgmt Enhanced Management Building Automation Control Partner Building Power Mgmt Enhanced Management (SDK+) PoE Devices Power Levels, Policies Discovery, Mgmt, Reporting

  8. EnergyWise Phase 1 • Management of PoEdevices • Wireless APs • IP phones • Open API and SDK available • Cisco Developer Network

  9. EnergyWise Phase 2 • Control of non-PoE devices with SNMP • ‘Orchestrator’ module to manage PCs • Wake-on-LAN feature for PCs connected through IP phones
