Advanced Load Identification and Management for Buildings: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
The goal of this CRADA work is to support Eaton Innovation Center (Eaton) efforts to develop advanced load identification, management technologies, and solutions to reduce building energy consumption by providing fine granular visibility of energy usage information and safety protection of miscellaneous electric loads (MELs) in commercial and residential buildings. MELs load identification and prediction technology will be employed in a novel "Smart eOutlet*" to provide critical intelligence and information to improve the capability and functionality of building load analysis and design tools and building power management systems. The work scoped in this CRADA involves the following activities: development and validation of business value proposition for the proposed technologies through voice of customer investigation, market analysis, and third-party objective assessment; development and validation of energy saving impact as well as assessment of environmental and economic benefits; "smart eOutlet" concept design, prototyping, and validation; field validation of the developed technologies in real building environments. (*Another name denoted as "Smart Power Strip (SPS)" will be used as an alternative of the name "Smart eOutlet" for a clearer definition of the product market position in future work.)
