Abstract

Many challenges related to energy use and grid participation face the residential building sector and utilities that serve our homes today. To reduce energy consumption, increase grid service participation, and improve homeowner benefits, a solution is needed that can adapt itself to each home and homeowner/occupant, that can deliver both building and grid services with reliability and high availability, that can automate these operations to minimize cost and complexity of deployment, and that can provide both home data privacy and grid cybersecurity. We hypothesize that customer-oriented home automation can mutually satisfy home occupant/owner needs, reduce energy consumption, and deliver reliable grid services. This project seeks to develop innovative technology solutions that prove this hypothesis. The Home Battery System (HBS) is a technology package comprised of connected 'smart' appliances, rooftop solar photovoltaics, a home battery, and a coordinating smart controller. This system is envisioned, developed and demonstrated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Bosch, ESCRYPT and Colorado State University (CSU). It is the result of three years of research by our diverse team. NREL developed the home automation controller, and performed simulation and laboratory evaluations of the HBS. Bosch developed and delivered most of the connected appliances used in themore »« less

Key Residential Building Equipment Technologies for Control and Grid Support PART I (Residential)

Technical Report Starke, Michael; Onar, Omer; DeVault, Robert

Electrical energy consumption of the residential sector is a crucial area of research that has in the past primarily focused on increasing the efficiency of household devices such as water heaters, dishwashers, air conditioners, and clothes washer and dryer units. However, the focus of this research is shifting as objectives such as developing the smart grid and ensuring that the power system remains reliable come to the fore, along with the increasing need to reduce energy use and costs. Load research has started to focus on mechanisms to support the power system through demand reduction and/or reliability services. The powermore »« less

Laboratory Resources and Techniques to Evaluate Smart Home Technology: Preprint

Conference Sparn, Bethany

Smart home technologies promise to make residential buildings more comfortable, less costly to operate, more energy efficient, and more integrated with the grid, but these systems are difficult to evaluate in traditional laboratory spaces. To aid in the development and evaluation of new home energy management systems (HEMS), NREL built the Systems Performance Laboratory (SPL) within the Energy Systems Integration Facility. SPL has electrical infrastructure for three residential buildings, complete with smart meters, breaker panels and a full complement of major and minor appliances in each 'home.' Cord and plug power connections mean that appliances can easily be swapped formore »« less

Community-scale interaction of energy efficiency and demand flexibility in residential buildings

Journal Article Munankarmi, Prateek; Maguire, Jeff; Balamurugan, Sivasathya Pradha; ... - Applied Energy

Demand-side management (DSM) strategies, including energy efficiency (EE) and demand flexibility (DF), contribute to cost-effective operation of the electricity grid. From a system-level perspective, such programs reduce costs, enhance reliability, and reduce network issues. Similarly, DSM programs help participating customers reduce utility bills while maintaining occupant comfort. Understanding the relationship between EE and DF is key to realizing the full potential of DSM programs. In this study, we modeled an all-electric residential community based on a 498-home community that is planned for construction in Fort Collins, Colorado in the United States. We used this community model to study the relationshipmore »« less

Impact of Connected Communities

Technical Report Buckberry, Heather; Kuruganti, Teja; Winstead, Christopher; ...

Buildings account for 35% of CO₂ emissions and almost 40% of the United States’ energy use. High-performance homes and neighborhoods play an important role in supporting efforts to decarbonize the US power system by 2035. Significant reductions in CO₂ emissions within the residential sector can be realized through electrification of loads paired with the flexibility created by leveraging smart Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to shift energy use based on grid signals, thus improving generation/distribution efficiency and maximizing the use of renewable generation capacity. All of this can be achieved while allowing smart home appliances and equipment to meet homeownermore »« less

Foresee: A user-centric home energy management system for energy efficiency and demand response

Journal Article Jin, Xin; Baker, Kyri; Christensen, Dane; ... - Applied Energy

This paper presents foresee, a user-centric home energy management system that can help optimize how a home operates to concurrently meet users' needs, achieve energy efficiency and commensurate utility cost savings, and reliably deliver grid services based on utility signals. Foresee is built on a multiobjective model predictive control framework, wherein the objectives consist of energy cost, thermal comfort, user convenience, and carbon emission. Foresee learns user preferences on different objectives and acts on their behalf to operate building equipment, such as home appliances, photovoltaic systems, and battery storage. In this work, machine-learning algorithms were used to derive data-driven appliancemore »« less
