DDC basic concept

18

This meter is monitoring the power balance of the UK electricity grid. If the needle is too far to

the left, it means more generation is needed to meet demand.

The meter actually shows the grid's frequency, which is related to the speed of rotation of

generators all over the country. When there is too little power available, the whole grid "slows

down" and the needle moves to the left.

Grid Frequency

shows the

imbalance

between power

supply and

demand

Grid frequency

drops if there is

too much demand

because

generators start to

slow down slightly

Who is interested in DDC?

19

Utilities are interested in DDC for increasing grid

efficiency (revenues)

Governments are interested in DDC for decreasing

CO2 emissions (environment)

Both are going to provide1 funds for supporting:

• Manufactures of white goods that are available to embed DDC function in their

new generation of products (smart appliances)

• Customers that will buy such smart appliances

(1) Utilities and Governments are presently supporting DDC trials in USA and UK for testing the

technology. Whirlpool is involved in USA with dryers, Indesit is involved in UK with refrigerators.

What is Energy@Home (E@H) Project?

24

Energy@home is a collaborative project between

Electrolux, Enel, Indesit and Telecom Italia

The aim of the project is to develop a communication infrastructure that enables

provision of Value Added Services based upon information exchange related to energy

usage, energy consumption and energy tariffs in the Home Area Network (HAN).

The project envisions a protocol that shall be used to build an integrated platform to

allow cooperation between the main devices involved in residential energy management.

From a functional point of view, Energy@Home envisions a system that can provide users with

information on their household consumption directly on the display of the appliance itself, on the

smart phone or on their computer. Consumers will be able to use their appliances in a “smart” way

by enhancing the energy efficiency of the entire house system.

E@h - Contributo di Electrolux

ELECTROLUX ha progettato e realizzato,

a partire da fine anni ’80, soluzioni

integrate di elettrodomestici, dispositivi di

gestione e interfacce utenti degli

elettrodomestici. Esempi ne sono il sistema

Live-In e lo Screenfidge

Gli elettrodomestici possono utilizzare i principali standard di comunicazione in ambito

domestico concordati a livello CECED (Conseil Européen de la Construction

d'appareils Domestiques) nell’ambito dell’attività di interoperabilità. Per ciascuno di

questi standard di comunicazione esiste un opportuno dispositivo per la

comunicazione (NUI - Network Unit Interface) integrabile in un elettrodomestico

tradizionale per renderlo connettibile.

Electrolux intende valorizzare i risultati di questa iniziativa

sia in ambito di standardizzazione CECED, assieme and

Indesit Company, che nei progetti nei quali è impegnata

sia a livello italiano che europeo

Assumptions, Constraints and Roadmap

29

Assumptions and Constraints:

• Energy@home aims to leverage existing standards, in particular the ZigBee wireless technology, the Smart Energy and Home Automation ZigBee Application Profiles. If needed, these profiles will be extended and customized in order to fulfill the requirements of the project.

• The resulting protocol will be open to any stakeholder that will be free to define its own services and supporting business models, while being assured that the common communication platform will be able to ensure interoperability among platform of different vendors.

Roadmap:

• The project goal will be pursued through the following plan of milestones:

M1. identification of use cases relevant to the protocol and definition of the system architecture COMPLETED

M2. definition of the protocol by leveraging existing standards and integration of partner’s devices to implement a system prototype IT WILL BE COMPLETED BY JULY 31-th;

M3. assessment of the protocol and of the prototypes interoperability

M4. proposal of a pilot market test which will involve selected customers throughout Italy”

• Smart Plugs: (able to provide remote metering and to be remotely controlled) could

be somehow included in the Smart Appliances category although they can provide no

direct control over the effect of remote control activities; Smart Appliances will not be

controlled by Smart Plugs

• Customer Interfaces: Typical Customer Interfaces are personal computers, Smart

Phones, PDAs, ad hoc displays, entertainment systems, in-house monitor and similar.

• Home Gateway: it is the gateway between the HAN (Home Area Network), the HN

(Home Network) and the WAN (e.g. internet). It is able to interface Smart Appliances

and other user’s devices (e.g. PC) through the communication protocol(s) used in the

HAN (e.g. ZigBee) and in the HN (e.g. IP/http) and to provide a broadband connection

to internet (usually via a standard ADSL connection).

• Smart Info: it is the element, provided by the DSO (Distribution System Operator),

which dispatches energy related information into the HAN. Published data are a sub-

set of those already available inside the Home Electricity Meter, hence the Smart Info

acts like a proxy of the meter. Additional data could be possibly generated by the

Smart Info itself. From E@H

CECED: Flexibility without complexity for users

35

• A flexible demand can significantly impact use

– A direct control of appliances from outside the house will hinder user

convenience and freedom of choice

– A fridge or an oven cannot be remotely powered off

– A washing machine stopped regardless of the working status of the appliance

means a waste of energy

• Smart Appliances can deliver flexibility without disadvantages

for users

– A Smart Appliance can react automatically to a signal from utilities

– Real time availability, cost, green level of electricity are examples of possible

signals coming from utilities

• Smart use of appliances is already possible today

– Some utilities offer a structured tariff, like day-night

– Most appliances have a delay timer

– Today the entire washing/drying/dishwashing process could be shifted from day

• Smart Appliances would improve the ease of use and capture

new opportunities

– For example, users could enable a Smart Appliance to work at

• The default way, e.g. reacting automatically to grid overload

• The fastest way, e.g. doing the dish right now

• The most cost-effective way, e.g. shifting the wash at night

CECED: European policy makers to unlock Smart Grids

Smart appliances can:

– Reduce the peak time energy consumption up to 10%,

– Enable transferring a price to the consumer more linked to the market price thus

reducing economic loss both for the supplier and for the user,

– Reduce their consumption in response to an emergency signal to reduce the risk

the of black out,

– Help the consumer in adapting to time tariffs

In order to enable the potential we need to:

– Solve the chicken and egg problem and start promoting smart appliances

through a specific labelling, or incentives,

– Legislation must guarantee a fair transfer of the value created by smart

appliances, to consumers who offer an optimisation service.
