How do YOU think about buying electricity?

• How many people know the MPG of their vehicle?

• How many people know the kWh per day of their home?

• Has anyone tried to make efficiency improvements to your home?

• Does anyone drive a Prius or have an in-home device to monitor electricity?

• What is your experience with buying electricity?

• On average, people reduce their energy by 5-15% just by having real time feedback on their energy consumption

• If just half the U.S. households cut their demand by 10%, the electricity savings would be greater than today's total U.S. wind and solar power output. The CO2 emission avoided would be equal to taking approx. 8 million cars off the road.

Moore’s Law “Distributed Intelligence” everywhere

Our ability to fully harness this Distributed Intelligence relies on our ability to interconnect it.

Open Standards are key to creating “Connected Intelligence”

We must “Empower” Energy Users with Information, Tools, and Communities

There are I0-20 Microprocessors in a modern Wind Turbine:

Localized intelligence, in the form of embedded wind turbine controllers based on rugged embedded Intel® architecture platforms, can control turbine vane pitch, rotation, and other variables in response to real-time information including changing wind conditions and electrical load requirements, without human intervention.In addition, network sensors mounted on the turbine communicate data to the embedded computer to monitor operating parameters

Enabling Distributed Intelligence“A System of Open Systems” Approach

Grid Operators, Utilities, Building Owners, and Vendors should take end-to-end view - and have eye on the future - as they design and specify their particular sub-systems

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:– Exploit Moore’s Law – put network-ready Intelligence everywhere –

“glue” to manage inter-system connections – Subsystems should be both “Connection-ready” and “Future-ready”– Exploit existing technologies for Remote Management

24Distributed Intelligence in Buildings Buildings are key to electricity usage and CO2 impact

–76% of US electricity is used by buildings1

–43% of CO2 is generated by buildings2

–Data centers are critical extreme case

Industry Challenge–Make grid smarter, make buildings smarter, make them communicate–Today most residential and light commercial buildings are “dumb”

(1) Energy Information Association; (2) Pew Center for Global Climate Change

Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS)Distributed Intelligence = Consumer Empowerment

Intel HEMS Research circa 2005

Intel worked with local utility + meter vendor, to create a PC-based Home Energy Management System (HEMS), using Home Automation components

Three areas of focus:– Usage Awareness via TV User Interface

(Windows Media Center)– Demand-Shifting, via Pre-cooling and

Off-peak overcooling– Demand-Response load reduction

(System watched utilities website)

Results published via IEEE paper in 2006

Can Info + User Control Make a Difference?Consumer Empowerment

Technology Peak Demand Reduction*

Time of use Pricing Information 8%

Dynamic Pricing Signals 13%

Smart Thermostat 27%

HEMS like device 43%

* The Brattle Group “The Power of 5 Percent”, The Electricity Journal, October, 2007

Based on $20 M pilot by California utilities, that involved 2,500 customers,over a three year period, gateway systems reduced loads far in excess of dynamic pricing and smart thermostats alone.

Coming Soon:Home Energy Management System

Some Implications, Conclusions Awareness PLUS Load Control can save energy and flatten demand

profiles. Consumers want this on any/all screens:– PC, TV, Handset, Dedicated In-Home Display– Utility Smart Grid/Home pilots will evaluate all of these

technologies

While Monitoring + Control is technically feasible today - it isn’t easy

Standard are required to enable scalability, reduce costs, and ensure interoperability– Standards for energy data from meters– Standards for interfacing with the home control system– Standards for interfacing with the wider public grid

Enabling Connected Intelligence

Interoperability is a big focus for the Smart Energy industryOpen interfaces, network-readiness, inter-system

standards

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:– Specify open, secure networks that can be flexibly connected to others – Utilize IP (including IPSO) where possible– STANDARDS: Get involved - in the efforts of NIST, IEEE P2030, etc..


Example: Smart Grid Standards EffortsExample: Smart Grid Standards EffortsIEEE P2030 MEETING: HELP SHAPE THE

SMART GRID GUIDE

• The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) launched a groundbreaking smart grid initiative hosted by Intel in Santa Clara, CA, June 2009.

• The goal of the initiative is to create:• The IEEE Standard 2030 Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy

Technology and Information Technology Operation with the Electric Power System (EPS) and End-Use Applications and Loads.

IEEE-SA P2030 will help guide the integration of energy technology and information and communications technologies to enable the smart grid.
