Book excerpt: Energy Smart Appliances (ESA) are one of the instruments to transform houses or buildings into smart ones. They also empower consumers in becoming active players of the smart grid by controlling efficiently their consumption. However, a wide-scale deployment of ESA may induce interoperability (IOP) issues. Therefore, a concrete approach is needed in order to provide policy support and reassurance that IOP is preserved in the system while ESA are introduced in the market.

Book excerpt: Policy support for a wide-scale deployment of energy smart appliances seems a complex matter, crossing the fields of product and digital-related policy instruments. Any potential measure would not directly address energy efficiency, but instead will essentially seek to certify a specific 'energy-smart' behaviour of products. In this project DG ENER and the Join Research Centre would propose a Code of Conduct to the energy smart appliances manufactures for adherence. This report is a combination of following three initial talks, which are fundamental for the project: - Literature review and consolidation of input from relevant sources on the interoperability of energy smart appliances such as the InterConnect project, standardisation efforts in other countries or regions (i.e. UK, California, etc.) - Development of use cases for energy smart appliances. - Definition of principles of data sharing among appliances, home and building automation systems, electric vehicle chargers, aggregators, Distribution System Operators, etc. Stakeholders (industry, NGOs, academia) and Member States authorities will be involved in this process. Involvement and communication with stakeholders will be undertaken in a combination of questionnaires, webinars and physical meetings. A dedicated European Commission services Task Force will be set up to coordinate this action and coordination between different policy areas, ensuring broader political buy-in.

Download or read book Study on Ensuring Interoperability for Enabling Demand Side Flexibility written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to sustainable energy sources introduces distributed intermittent energy that requires more flexibility in demand. It is anticipated that consumers will play an active role with self-generation and will pro-actively manage their demand according to their needs and available resources; this is called Demand Side Flexibility (DSF). Energy Management applications will be used to control consumption, generation and storage, so that consumers will be in control, but will not need to execute all the related actions themselves. These applications will take input from Smart Meters and signals from energy market players to control the in-home energy flows. To that end, the data needed for DSF needs to flow seamlessly through an IT infrastructure that connects Smart Meters, Consumer Energy Management Systems, Smart Appliances and Gateways between the home and external networks. The IT infrastructure of DSF is covered by three different industries that all have separately developed technology and standards, i.e., the Utility industry, the Telecom industry and the Home appliances industry. Originated for different purposes and in different context, the communication standards from these industries are not necessarily aligned, leading to barriers in the seamless flow of data in the DSF infrastructure. In this study, we have investigated the need for alignment among the communication standards from the Utility, Telecom and Home appliances industries. We have selected nine standards that have been compared with the reference ontology SAREF (Smart Appliances REFerence ontology), developed in an earlier project commissioned by DG-Connect, and its extension for the Energy domain, SAREF4ENER. We concluded that alignment between DSF standards is needed and that SAREF/SAREF4ENER can be used as the overarching ontology to facilitate this alignment. Several actions and recommendations for various stakeholders, such as the Standards Development Organisations, have been identified and are listed in the report. Moreover, a proof of concept was demonstrated to show DSF interoperability through the complete, end-to-end IT infrastructure, from Smart Grid to Smart Meters and Smart Appliances. The next step to be taken is to scale up the proof of concept that we demonstrated, implementing the resulting SAREF-based solution in more use cases for Demand Side Flexibility, in more smart devices and at real consumer sites.

Download or read book A Smarter Greener Grid written by Kevin B. Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressing need for a smarter and greener grid is obvious, but how this goal should be achieved is much less clear. This book clearly defines the environmental promise of the smart grid and describes the policies necessary for fully achieving the environmental benefits of the digital energy revolution. The United States' electrical grid is an antique. It was built to serve a 20th-century economy and designed in an era when the negative environmental impacts of electricity production were poorly understood. It must be upgraded and modernized. The proposed solution is a "smart grid"—a network of new digital technologies, equipment, and controls that can respond quickly to the public's changing energy needs by facilitating two-way communication between the utility and consumers. This book explains the environmental benefit of a smart grid, examines case studies of existing smart grids, and identifies the legal and regulatory policy hurdles that must be overcome to fully realize the smart grid's benefits. Based on six diverse organizations' experience as "early adopters" in the digital energy revolution, the authors explore how a smart electric grid offers real promise for supercharging energy efficiency, democratizing demand response, electrifying transportation, preparing for ubiquitous distributed clean energy technologies, and automating the distribution system. Against the backdrop of climate change and continuing economic uncertainty, setting a path for environmental improvement and upgrading our electric grid with new digital technologies and associated smart policies is more critical than ever before.
