Parlement Européen (Strasbourg)
Smart Energy Management at Home

Why do energy bills keep raising?
Primary and economic factors Consequences
Population growth and higher social welfare
Shortage on traditional energy sources + higher imports
Low profitability in renewable energy in the short-term + higher
rejection to polluting energy production
High increase onEnergy demand
Rise on energy tariffs
Power industry needsefficient managementsolutions in homes &
buildings

Generation & Demand Balance:the key problem
• Electricity is not storable• Instantaneous balance is needed to meet production and
demand

Demand is constantalong the day
Higher demandduring the morning

Our future is…Demand side challenges
• Reduce load peaks• Flexibilization of Demand• Consumers need to be EFFICIENT
Smart MeteringSmart Appliances
Smart GridElectrical Vehicles
DENISEProject led by ENDESA to design the future
Intelligent-demand-response electrical network
Home Systems is in charge of in-home displays & automation

Before we arrive there…Key drivers for energy saving on the user side
INFORMATIONMonitoring of energy consumption
helps modify habits
RECOMMENDATIONContract less power without
losing comfort
SENSITIVE PRICESUse off-peak tariffs offered by
power suppliers
Up to 5%-15% savingsin consumption
Up to 50% savings inpower contract
Up to 45% savingsin tariff cost
AUTOMATIONTurn on and off appliances
automatically to take advantageof these features without even
noticing
www.ecobox.es
3 features for smart and efficient energy management at home or office
– ENERGY MONITOR• LCD Display for monitoring and configuration,
membrane keypad• Monitoring of consumption and power in €/h and W• Monitoring on PC via Bluetooth
– LOAD CONTROLLER• Rationalize your consumption, from 3,3 to 14,5 Kw• Maximeter (maximum load measurement)• Cascade, cyclic or prioritary modes• 8 X10 outputs (PLC) and 2 relay outputs (1A)
– SCHEDULE PROGRAMMING• Take advantage of off-peak lower tariffs• Weekly schedule programming
Our solution for today…ecobox: smart energy saving
www.ecobox.es
Monitor energy consumption on LCD display
• “ecobox” user interface:– LCD Display for monitoring
and configuration– Membrane keypad– Monitoring of consumption
and power in €/h and W– Direct control of appliances
through X10 automation
www.ecobox.es
Monitor energy consumption onyour PC or Netbook
• “EcoSoft” user interface:– Maximeter (maximum load
measurement)
– Instant consumption
– CO2 emissions savings
– Partial and total consumption in W and €/h
– Partial and total consumption with off-peak tariff in W and €/h
– Off-peak tariff simulation
– Statistics: diary, monthly and yearly consumption

What is Load Controlling?
• Allows to limit maximum power used at home by automatically disconnecting selected circuits or individual appliances, without losing comfort
– Less power contracted = less cost in energy bill
– Automatic restoration of loads when consumption lowers
www.ecobox.es
– Before load controlling…» Current contract = 10,35 Kw» Energy use: electric heating & water, washing
machine, dishwasher, spin dryer, electric oven…» Main Circuit Breaker goes off with higher consumption
– After load controlling…» Power contract = 5,75 Kw» Same loads but “rationalized”, for instance, heating
and water may turn off momentarily, making the most of thermic inertia, while other appliances are on
Contract less power
RELEVANT SAVINGS IN POWER CONTRACTING7,56 €/month (90,72 €/year)

Your savings help our environment
• ECOBOX helps reduce energy consumption seamlessly and automatically
• It also helps reduce “carbon footprint” by lowering household CO2 emissions, thus taking care of the environment and favoring sustainable development
www.ecobox.es
Example of savings: Household with 4 members and 100m2, with electric heating & DHW, in WINTER, center of Spain, from October to April
Your savings help our environment
RELEVANT SAVINGS ON YOUR ENERGY BILLYou can lower your monthly expense from 285€ up to 128€
