Energy Efficiency Detailed Example
42
The Inelasticity of California’s Electrical Supply 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 200002500030000350004000045000 MW $/MWh Power-exchange market price for electricity versus load (California, Summer 2000)
43
How to Address the Inelasticity of the Supply Spread demand over time (or reduce peak) Make cost of energy visible to end-user function of load curve (e.g. hourly pricing) “demand-response” approach Reduce average demand (demand side) Eliminate wasteful consumption Improve efficiency of equipment and appliances Improve efficiency of generation and distribution network (supply side) Enabled by Information!
44
Energy Consumption in Buildings (US 1997) End Use Residential Commercial Space heating 6.7 2.0 Space cooling 1.5 1.1 Water heating 2.7 0.9 Refrigerator/Freezer 1.7 0.6 Lighting 1.1 3.8 Cooking 0.6 - Clothes dryers 0.6 - Color TVs 0.8 - Ventilation/Furnace fans 0.4 0.6 Office equipment - 1.4 Miscellaneous 3.0 4.9 Total 19.0 15.2 Source: Interlaboratory Working Group, 2000 (Units: quads per year = 1.05 EJ y -1 )
45
A Three-Phase Approach Phase 1: Passive Monitoring The availability of cheap, connected (wired or wireless) sensors makes it possible for the end-user to monitor energy-usage of buildings and individual appliances and act there-on. Primary feedback on usage Monitor health of the system (30% inefficiency!) Phase 2: Quasi-Active Monitoring and Control Combining the monitoring information with instantaneous feedback on the cost of usage closes the feedback loop between end-user and supplier. Phase 3: Active Energy-Management through Feedback and Control—Smart Buildings and Intelligent Appliances Adding instantaneous and distributed control functionality to the sensoring and monitoring functions increases energy efficiency and user comfort
46
Smart Buildings Dense wireless network of sensor, control, and actuator nodes Task/ambient conditioning systems allow conditioning in small, localized zones, to be individually controlled by building occupants and environmental conditions Joined projects between BWRC/BSAC, School of Architecture (CBE), Civil Engineering, and IEOR with Berkeley and Santa Cruz
47
A Proof-of-Concept: A six month demonstration, already underway! “Easy”: Fully instrument a number of buildings on campus with networked light and temperature sensors in every room, and make the data available on a centralized web-site. “Medium”: Make a wireless power monitor with a standard 3-prong feedthrough receptacle so that people can monitor power consumption of electronic devices as a function of time. Similar device, but passively coupled to high-power wiring to monitor total power consumption through breaker boxes. This would give us a much finer granularity of power-consumption details, and let us look at clusters of rooms, floors, etc. Fully instrument the campus power distribution system “Hard”: Real-time monitoring and control of hundreds of power systems on campus. Enforce compliance with load reduction. Charge/reward departments according to their use during peak times. Leaders: Pister, Culler, Trent, Sastry, Rabaey
