Demand Response

Explore advanced hot water demand response technologies and smart thermostats, test energy pre-loading and wind integration concepts, and assess AMI as a communication platform in a pilot program for electric hot water heaters in 800-1000 homes. The pilot aims to demonstrate customer acceptance and quantify system benefits. Cost is approximately $1,000,000 with potential co-funding from BPA.

  1. Demand Response Robert Balzar Conservation Resources Director

  2. Summer Results—Auto Demand Response Pilot- Commercial Sector

  3. Winter Results—Auto Demand Response Pilot- Commercial Sector

  4. Electric Hot Water Heater- Residential Sector-- Proposal • Purpose • Demonstrate next generation of electric hot water demand response technologies • Demonstrate next generation of smart communicating thermostats • Test concept of “pre-load” of energy using hot water storage • Test concept of “wind integration” using hot water storage • Test AMI as a communication platform for home energy management, pricing signals and demand response • Test customer acceptance of above

  5. Electric Hot Water Heater- Residential Sector-- Proposal • Pilot Program • 800-1000 single family homes with electric hot water heaters with demand response controllers– • prefer same distribution feeder • We want to quantify both system and distribution benefits • Potentially 40-50 electric furnaces with new smart two way communicating thermostats • Two way communication through new AMI • Cost- approx $1,000,000 (asking BPA to co-fund)
