Motivations to reduce energy use ●Climate Change ●Balance of Trade ●Energy Security ●Cost Containment Energy Is A Hot Topic “You cannot manage what you cannot measure.” What do we know 120 years after Edison started world’s first electric company?
3
What Electrical Data Does the World Have? Generation Usage? Transmission 120 years later the world knows virtually nothing about how electricity is used!
4
120 Years of Progress? ● One bill ● Once a month ● kWh used ● Payment Measurement of electrical data stops at the meter Zero knowledge of how, what, where, or when electricity is used!
5
What Do We Need? Power Data! Smart meters to the rescue? Answers “When” & “How Much” but little else Measure each and every end point? Don’t solve too little data with too much data What’s Just Right?
6
Power Data: What’s “Just Right?” Suppose we could measure circuits From each circuit we know: Load Type = What Location = Where Organization = Who Time = When Anomalies = Why Measurement= How Much Asset Level Real-time Monitoring Big Data Story US: 1 circuit = ~100 sqf. Roughly 30 billion circuits ~ 6 times worldwide mobile phones Billions of sensors * fine grain time measurements
7
Induction Field As Data ●Induction field not simply a by-product It is data about power ●Why not use “induction field data” to power sensors that measure electricity at the circuit level?
8
What We’ve Done ●Ubiquitous wireless sensors on every circuit Works with any circuit Quick, non-invasive install Simple physical installation Catalogue metadata Maintenance Free Low cost ●Sensors communicate to hub outside panel ●Granular measurements hosted in Big Data database ●Analytics, visualization, & data mining
9
Real World, Real Data, Real Problem ● Large supermarket chain ~ $450K/store annual electricity & maintenance ● After power outage, condenser unit fails - runs non stop at 100% power Before and after…. Potential loss: $4,828/year energy waste + Cost equipment replacement Supermarket Chiller Condensers
10
The Power of Data: Impact ●Insight… Operations Organizations Locations 10 … enables action Individual Group Cross Institutions
11
From Wireless Cloud Connected Sensors 11 ●The world’s first database of granular energy data ●Increase Energy Efficiency ●Cost Savings ●Improve Building Standards ●Cross-Location Benchmarking ●Increase Equipment Reliability ●Stakeholders? ●Governments & Regulatory Agencies ●Producers: Utilities ●Users: Consumers & Businesses ●Vendors: Consumer & Industrial Goods All by simply transforming invisible by-product of electricity into the missing ingredient of energy management
