  1. Smart Consumption:the Energy@homeAssociation http://www.energy-home.it Fabio Bellifemine, Telecom Italia Torino, 12thDec. 2012

  2. Energy@home Association Energy@home is a no-profit association registered under the Italian laws with the purpose of developing & promoting technologies and services for home energy efficiency based upon device to device communication. Founding Members Ordinary Members Aggregate Members http://www.energy-home.it

  3. SmartGeneration SmartNetwork SmartConsumption& micro-generation SmartGrid Scope: Smart Consumption Some trends in Smart Consumption Tools to empowerconsumers Peak reduction Efficiency Time of day Tariffs Electric Cars 56 GW, July 2010 Grid Load in Italy1990-2010 Distributed Renewables http://www.energy-home.it

  4. Energy@home: an eco-system of interacting devices & sub-systems TLC network& TI cloud Grid network & Telegestore The home bus is the technical enabler: - to coordinate (between appliances and sub-systems) to increase efficiency - to make appliances, meters, & other home devices actors of the cloud- to implement a service platform for new value added services (not limited to electricity)

  5. Achieved results, so far • Technical specifications of the Home Area Network currently under integration within the ZigBee Alliance Home Automation Profile • An interoperable fully-integrated system comprising smart gateway, smart meter, smart plugs, and smart domestic appliances • Interoperability test events (including some ZigBee events hosted by Energy@home) • An Italian field trial involving 50 users • A field trial in The Netherlands involving 300 users where Enexis is using the E@h protocol http://www.energy-home.it

  6. Architecture & Functionalities scheduling of appliances visualization of cost control of stand-byconsumptions loadshedding Energy@home can manage flexible/active demand in residential houses overload control user awareness http://www.energy-home.it

  7. Devices in Energy@home: ENEL Smart Info Enel Smart Info has been designed to provide end users with the certified information on electricity consumptions managed by the electronic smart meter. It can be plugged in every domestic socket to start data collection from the smart meter through powerline. http://www.energy-home.it

  8. Devices in Energy@home: Smart Appliance Calculation, visualization and dispatch to the HAN of the energy and power consumption before and during the cycle execution Forecast and visualization of the estimated cost for the selected cycle based on time based tariff Visualization of the total power consumption of the house Coordination with the others connected appliances and to micro-generation to optimize the power consumption in the house • Appliance Power Profile • Vector of uninterruptable phases: • Expected duration • Peak Power consumption • Maximum activation delay • Expected Energy consumption Scheduling of the starting time to ensure the cheapest or the greenest cycle, always respecting the users constraints

  9. Devices in Energy@home: Telecom Italia Gateway from connectivity to Value Added Services • Enables always-on connectivity of home devices • connected to the broadband network • always-on, power consumption < 10W • multiple network interfaces (WAN xDSL, LAN Ethernet&WiFi, HAN target ZigBee) • ZigBee controller and Trust Center of the HAN • Enables development of VAS’s at home • managed Linux device, 256 MB RAM • OSGi framework to host applications • API’s to discover, manage, and communicate with HAN devices • service platform in the cloud http://www.energy-home.it

  10. Trial: comparison between users Stand-by consumption Min power is in a range between 21 and 51 Watt 30 Watt of difference – which is constant over all the 24 hours – implies an extra cost of 50€/year User with4.5 kW contract Peak consumption % of time (in logarithmic scale) that absorption is higher than a given power Probably for most users the 4.5 kW contract is used for less than 1% of time Under the same energy consumption, the 3 kW contract allows a saving of 100-220 €/year

  11. SmartGeneration SmartNetwork SmartConsumption& micro-generation SmartGrid Conclusions FoundingMembers • Goals for Smart consumption: • flexible & controllable demand & generation • Tools for user awareness (beyond the bill) and empowerment • Devices should be turned into “smart” products that are connected to a network, aware of how they are being used, able to inform the user about their status, and able to be controlled by smartphones or also by utilities signals • Smart Consumption requires an eco-system approach involving different types of industries & stakeholders http://www.energy-home.it

  13. New Activities for 2013 • STANDARDIZATION COMMITTEE • Organization of test and integration events • Relationships with standard bodies & other associations • Evolution and Maintenance of Energy@home specifications • IP Integration • Definition of a protocol-neutral representation of E@h devices • Energy@home protocol and Smart Energy Profile 2.0 • Extension to Wi-fi • New use cases • Demand Side Management • Dynamic prices, time of use tariffs • Remote management & assurance of household appliances http://www.energy-home.it

  14. Energy@home 2012 specifications • Energy@home 2012 specifications: • Define the wireless protocol, the data model, the set of application messages, and the sequence activity diagrams • extend the existing EN50523-1 (standard CECED-Cenelec EN50523-1: “Household appliances interworking”) and ZigBee Home Automation profile by integrating power meter device and connected appliances • submitted to ZigBee, CECED, HGI • Expected to be integrated in ZigBee Home Automation by 1Q2013 • Several ZigBeeinterop events hosted by Energy@home (last one was on 26-30th Nov ‘12 @ Torino) EN50523-1 Energy@home values interoperability!

  15. Appliance: Power Profile cluster: it provides an interface for transferring power profile information from a device (e.g. Whitegood) to a controller (e.g. the Home Gateway). The Power Profile transferred can be solicited by client side (request command) or can be notified directly from the device (server side) Appliance control cluster: it provides an interface to remotely control and to program household appliances. (e.g. Start, Stop and Pause commands) The status read and set is compliant to the EN50523 “Signal State” and “Execute Command” functional blocks. Some appliances parameters (e.g. Duration and Remaining Time) have been added, since they were missing from the original specs. Appliance Identification cluster : Attributes and commands for determining basic information about a device and setting user device information. The Appliance Identification Cluster is a transposition of EN50523 “Identify Product” functional block. Appliance statistics cluster: Information on usage of appliance Specifics statistics to be logged into the cloud Smart Info: Meter Identification cluster: Attributes and commands for determining advanced information about utility metering device. Home Gateway: All complementary clusters for being able to interface with Appliances and Meter (Power Profile-client, Appliance control-client, Metering-client, Meter identification-client) E@H features into ZigBee Home Automation Claudio Borean

  16. Why ZigBee Pro Protocol Excellent performance in low SNR environments Specifications of Public Profiles Other protocols might be adopted depending on Energy@home Members Products • Cost • Performance of IEEE 802.15.4 • Energy efficiency • Performance in low SNR environments • Extended coverage through mesh topology • Openness & Diffusion • Open specifications • Multiple vendors, • Large availability of products • Certification Program available • Extendible

  17. Energy@Home Trial Where: Italy (Fabriano, Jesi) What: 50 Indesit WM, Smart Info, Smart Gateway, Smart Plugs When: October 2012 – December 2013 • To validate the proposed technical solution based on the smart gateway, smart info and smart washing machines • To prove the maturity of the Energy Management solution for residential consumer capable of an active load control and simplifying the use of time of use and dynamic tariffs • to guarantee a proper growth of the Association ecosystem through the trial results

  18. system speaks E@h to the Smart Appliances Understand the customer reaction to a flexible usage of energy, based on economic incentive through time to use tariffs and the usage of micro generation (PV) inside the house. In-Home Smart Display from Enexis’s trial Where: The Netherland (Breda and Zwolle) What: 300 Indesit Smart Washing Machines When: from August 2012 -> December 2015 • Promote energy efficiency and cost saving through time to use tariffs (cheap mode) • Promote eco-behavior and cost saving through PV generated energy (green mode) • Integration with the thermal control of the house Time to Use Tariffs (example)
