背景技术
电网的高效运行取决于电力供需的适当平衡。诸如太阳能和风能的许多可再生间歇性能源带来了独特的挑战,因为高峰发电通常不与高峰需求(在时间上)对应。例如,太阳能面板往往在中午期间产生最大的电量,但最高的电需求通常在傍晚。

问题和解决方案:
在一些方面中,能量存储解决方案可以用于解决发电和消耗的时间错位,即,通过存储在非高峰需求时间产生的能量供以后使用。每当能量供给超过需求时,就可以有利地应用能量存储。相反,当能量生产低于需求时,存储的能量可以从存储的能源中排放,例如,以避免从电网中汲取电力。
在一些方法中,可以使用独立的电池、飞轮和泵送水电设施来存储剩余能量。在后一种情况下,水被泵送到高海拔地区(使用过量的电)并且被存储用于以后释放以在需要电时产生电力。但是,最近的技术进步已经使得客户消耗地点处可用能量存储模式的数量增加以及存储效率提高。随着可用能量存储选项的数量不断增加,客户被迫在竞争的存储解决方案之间作出决定,其中每种存储解决方案可能例如由于成本的不同、安装的容易性以及能量效率等原因具有不同的优缺点。
主题技术的方面通过提供用于基于对客户行为(包括能量消耗和生产)、客户特性(例如,经济指标、建筑物类型等)以及附加的本地数据输入(例如,天气模式、能量价格、净计量体系、技术成本等)的分析来确定客户服务点的最佳能量存储解决方案的系统和方法来解决前述问题。
最佳存储方法的确定
在一些方面中,主题技术提供了数据聚合器,该数据聚合器被配置为收集客户的能量消耗数据和能量生产数据并且例如基于客户的资源使用行为和/或对各种存储介质类型的成本/效率考虑来确定最佳(或可用)能量存储解决方案的排名。主题技术的方面用为各种能量存储解决方案(例如,电池、建筑物加热/冷却、水加热、制冰等)提供的示例进行描述,但是,应当理解的是,在不脱离本技术的范围的情况下,可以实现其它能量存储介质。
此外,可以使用不同类型的数据来执行各种存储解决方案或能量存储介质的比较,诸如(例如,对一种或多种可消耗资源的)用户消耗数据、(例如,来自屋顶太阳能面板的)用户能量生产数据、人口统计数据、天气信息和/或经济或成本考虑。但是,应当理解的是,在不脱离本发明的范围的情况下,可以使用附加的(或更少的)数据类型来实现主题技术的数据聚合器。
如下面进一步详细讨论的,数据聚合器可以被配置为使用全部可用信息来计算多个能量存储介质/设备中的每一个的利用效率分数。如本文所使用的,利用效率分数可以表示对特定能量存储类型的成本/利益权衡的量化。因此,利用效率分数可以用于比较两种不同的能量存储方法或设备,诸如热水存储和电池。也如下面所讨论的,利用效率分数也可以基于其它类型的信息,诸如与各种能量存储介质或方法相关的客户位置、客户使用模式、天气数据和/或成本信息。
在对多个不同的存储类型计算利用效率分数之后,可以提供有针对性的推荐以向客户通知优选的或最佳的存储解决方案。在一些方面中,基于与特定客户相关联的并且用于向客户提供对存储解决方案的一个或多个个性化推荐的特定数据集合来对利用效率分数进行个性化。
图1图示了根据一些间歇性供电实现的能量生产和需求曲线的示例。间歇性电源(诸如太阳能面板或风力涡轮机)通常在与高峰需求的时间不同的时间提供其最大电力输出。参考图1的示例,高峰电力需求(例如,聚合区域电力需求)在下午5点左右发生。相反,最大能量生产(例如,来自太阳能面板的净发电量)在上午10点到中午12点之间发生。“高峰之间的间隙”图示了生产和需求之间的时间差异,指示在没有受益于能量存储解决方案(或吸收到更广泛的电网中)的情况下将会发生的电力损失量。
如上所述,可以使用几种类型的能量存储设备或方法来捕获(例如,通过能量生产服务或设备)生成的超过瞬时需求的电力。如本文所使用的,能量生产源或服务可以指被配置为产生能量(诸如电力)的一个或多个设备或系统。在一些情况下,能量生产源可以包括产生电力和将电力引导到例如诸如电池的存储设备所需的硬件和/或软件。作为示例,能量生产源可以包括但不限于:太阳能阵列、风力涡轮发电机、潮汐和/或波浪发电系统和/或水电涡轮机等。如结合下面所示的示例所讨论的,能量生产源可以或者是现场的(例如,近似地位于靠近资源消耗地点,诸如商业或住宅区),或者是远程的,例如,经由电力传输基础设施(诸如电网)远程耦合到消耗地点。
此外,如本文所使用的,能量存储解决方案、设备和方法可以指实现能量存储方法所必需的硬件设备(和软件)。因此,能量存储解决方案可以包括诸如电池(例如,锂离子电池)的存储介质。但是,本公开还考虑了其它能量存储技术,并且可以包括例如,(例如,在热水加热器中的)水加热或水冷却例如以生产冰。
除了特定能量存储解决方案的成本和效率考虑之外,使用类型在确定给定能量存储方法是否最大有效时也是重要的。如本文所使用的,使用类型或“使用类型信息”可以指(例如,由客户)使用所存储/产生的能量的最终用途。作为示例,如果客户频繁的最终用途是加热水,那么利用过量的发电(例如,在家用热水器中)直接预热水可能比将把过量的电力存储到电池并且然后使用电池电荷来加热水更高效。
作为还有的示例,如果用户主要期望的最终用途是为电子设备或电器供电,那么使用冰生成技术来存储过量的电力(例如,由太阳能阵列产生的电荷)可能是不切实际的。因此,除了成本和能量效率/转换考虑之外,使用类型信息对确定用于存储过量电力的最有效的设备/方法可能是重要的。结合起来,这些约束可能使得用户难以比较能量存储解决方案,以及例如基于他/她自己的行为、使用模式和成本敏感性来确定最有效的存储手段。
主题技术的方面涉及数据聚合器,其被配置为接收/聚合可以用于识别特定用户的最佳能量存储解决方案的多个数据和信号。在以下的公开中,结合数据聚合器讨论各种数据/信号类型;但是,应当理解的是,信息和数据的使用不限于这些示例。(例如,通过数据聚合器)可以潜在地使用任何类型的数据,以在两种或更多种能量存储方法或解决方案之间进行比较。
如本文所讨论的,可以对各种能量存储方法或介质的比较高度相关的特定类型的信息可以包括但不限于:(例如,客户/用户的)消耗数据、成本数据(例如,获取、操作和/或维护能量存储设备的成本)、生产数据(例如,能量生成设备、方法或系统的能量生产)、位置数据(例如,识别用户/客户的地理位置或区域或消耗地点)、客户人口统计数据(例如,经济指标和家庭规模)、行为数据(例如,客户对公用设施公司门户网站的使用;电子能量计费的采用;如消耗数据模式所建议的电动车辆的客户所有权或EV所有者在专门公用设施费率计划中的登记;在由公用设施或第三方管理的能源优化计划中的其它参与)、建筑物限制(例如,诸如住宅或商业建筑物的消耗地点处的结构的物理性质)、建筑物特性(例如,区域划分、年龄等)、以及资源提供商信息(例如,指示资源提供商(诸如电力公用设施提供商)优选的首选项或选择),等等。
图2图示了根据本发明的一些方面的可以用于实现数据聚合器(例如,数据聚合器204)的示例环境200。环境200包括公用设施202(例如,电力公用设施)、电力基础设施204(例如,电力网),其包括高级计量基础设施(AMI)设备207、数据聚合器214和第三方提供商216。如图所示,公用设施202、AMI 207、数据聚合器214和数据聚合器214通过通信网络(例如,网络212)通信地耦合。此外,功耗地点206和208连接到电力基础设施204,其中每一个分别与一组能量存储设备(即,存储装置A/存储装置B和存储装置C/存储装置D)相关联。
应当理解的是,环境200提供了可以用于实现主题技术的某些方面的示例设备和通信拓扑,但是,在不脱离本发明的范围的情况下,可以使用其它配置。例如,环境200可以包括更多(或更少)数量的客户/用户(例如,与消耗地点206和208对应)和/或更多/更少数量的公用设施资源提供商(诸如公用设施202)。
虽然在图示的环境200的示例中,公用设施202表示电力公用设施,但是应当理解的是,公用设施202可以表示其它资源类型的提供商,诸如水和/或燃气。进而,数据聚合系统214和第三方提供商216分别被描绘为单独的和分立的处理系统,但是每个可以使用分布式硬件和/或软件实现来实现,例如采用数据中心或分布式计算体系架构。此外,可以在每个消耗地点实现更多或更少数量的能量存储设备。每个存储设备可以表示不同的存储介质(例如,锂离子电池)或者设备和方法配对(例如,热水器和控制系统)。
除了公用设施202之外,环境200还可以包括可以耦合到电力基础设施204或与一个或多个消耗地点206和/或208相关联的其它发电系统(例如,电力生产源)。例如,与消耗地点相关联的企业可以使用风力涡轮机(未示出)在本地提供电力,而住宅消耗地点206可以至少部分地由太阳能阵列供电。
在操作中,数据聚合器214在功耗地点206和206中的每一个处收集与能量使用和发电有关的各种类型的信息和信号。这种信息可以由数据聚合器214例如使用AMI设备207从例如公用设施202、第三方提供商216或直接从消耗地点(诸如功耗地点208)接收。
可以由数据聚合器214收集的数据类型的示例包括(1)可以包括消耗地点206/208的功耗信息的消耗数据;和(2)可以提供关于为特定消耗地点(或在特定消耗地点处)产生的能量的量和/或产生的超过瞬时电力需求的电量的指示的能量生产数据,
取决于实现,消耗信息可以包括在给定时间间隔(诸如以每月、每周或每日为基础)内使用/消耗的电量的指示。在其中实现高级计量设备(例如,AMI 207)的一些方面中,可以在较小的时间刻度上测量功耗,诸如以小时或每分钟为基础。电力生产数据也可以在不同的时间间隔内进行测量,诸如以上关于图1所讨论的以小时为基础。
包括行为信息和人口统计信息的客户信息可以由各种源收集(和提供)。如关于环境100所示,客户信息可以由资源提供商(例如,公用设施提供商)102或第三方信息/服务提供商(例如,第三方提供商116)收集。在一些方面中,客户信息可以例如使用高级计量基础设施(AMI)设备(诸如AMI 107)直接提供给数据聚合器214。
除了消耗数据和能量生产数据之外,关于消耗地点206、206(或相关联的客户)收集到的其它类型的数据可以包括但不限于:位置数据、天气数据、存储介质成本数据、建筑物约束/特性数据和/或资源提供商信息。例如,消耗地点206的位置信息和天气数据可以由第三方提供商(例如,天气和/或地图服务)提供给数据聚合器214,而消耗数据可以由公用设施202提供,并且能量生产数据可以由诸如太阳能面板(未示出)的能量生成源直接提供。与一个或多个能量存储介质或方法相关的成本信息也可以由数据聚合器214计算或者例如从第三方资源(诸如由第三方提供商216托管的成本数据库)接收。
在还有的另一个示例中,消耗地点208的消耗数据可以使用AMI 207例如经由网络212直接提供给数据聚合器214。在这两种情况下,数据聚合器都可以接收和收集关于能量使用、能量生产、天气状况以及每个消耗地点206、208的位置的信息。在一些实现中,数据聚合器214还可以收集关于客户家庭或企业处的可用存储设备(诸如用于消耗地点206的存储装置A/存储装置B,以及用于消耗地点208的存储装置C/存储装置D)的信息。
一旦收集到可用的相关信息,数据聚合器就可以使用该信息(例如,消耗数据和能量生产数据)来计算各种不同能量存储方法和/或介质的利用效率分数。利用效率分数可以用于相对于各种不同的能量存储解决方案量化单个客户位置的成本/效率权衡。因此,计算出的利用效率分数可以用于基于客户的使用历史记录、成本考虑以及诸如天气、消耗位置和建筑物特性的其它因素来为特定客户提供个人化的电力存储推荐。
在一些方面中,计算出的利用效率分数可以用于向客户提供关于他/她可以采用的存储介质方法的选项的推荐。可替代地,计算出的效率分数可以用于在消耗地点处已经存在的能量存储解决方案之间进行选择。
作为示例,数据聚合器214可以为与消耗地点208相关联的客户收集数据。这种信息可以包括由AMI 207提供的例如以功耗随着时间的历史表示的形式(例如,负载曲线)的消耗数据。天气、存储介质成本数据和/或位置信息也可以由一个或多个第三方服务(诸如由第三方提供商216表示的服务)提供。一旦数据聚合器214收集到所有必要的信息,就针对所有可用的或相关的存储介质(例如,存储装置C/存储装置D)和/或可能或可能没有在消耗地点处安装的存储介质(例如,存储装置E)计算利用效率分数。
在一些方面中,数据聚合器214可以用于向与消耗地点相关联的客户提供通知。就以上示例进一步,可以向与消耗地点208相关联的客户提供最佳能量存储方法或解决方案的排名。可替代地,提供给客户的通知可以包括推荐和对推荐的能量存储设备(诸如电池或高级水加热设备)的成本比较。
在一些情况下,可以基于提供给数据聚合器214的客户人口统计数据来确定通知。例如,可以基于用户可能能够(或愿意)吸收的投资成本的量,使用一种或多种存储介质类型的成本考虑将存储解决方案与用户进行匹配。即,客户人口统计信息(诸如工资数据、位置、建筑物大小等)不仅可以用于确定哪些能量存储解决方案将是最高效的,而且还可以用于确定哪种/哪些解决方案对通知接受者在经济上将是可行的。
在另一个示例中,聚合器214可以收集住宅消耗地点(诸如消耗地点206)的消耗数据。也可以收集发电设备(例如,太阳能阵列)的能量生产数据,以指示何时在消耗地点206处发电(以及发多少电)。使用上述收集到的信息以及例如从第三方提供商216接收到的成本参数,数据聚合器214可以计算多个可用能量存储选项中的每一个的利用效率分数。可替代地,利用效率分数可以用于提供如在两个或更多个现有存储设备(诸如存储装置A和存储装置B)之间选择或交替使用的用户推荐。
虽然环境200的示例图示了通过网络212对数据聚合器214的远程使用,但是应该理解的是,数据聚合器214可以被提供为被配置为服务于一个或多个消耗位置的本地化系统。例如,数据聚合器214可以安装在住宅消耗地点(例如,消耗地点206)并且被配置为向与该地点相关联的客户提供推荐和排名等。下面关于图3进一步详细讨论使用本地化体系架构实现的数据聚合器的示例。
图3概念性地图示了示例消耗地点(例如,住宅环境300),其中数据聚合器306用于分析各种能量生产和消耗度量,例如,以提供关于一个或多个能量存储选项应该如何被利用的推荐。环境300包括住宅消耗地点302(即,住宅建筑物),其包括发电源304(例如,太阳能阵列)、数据聚合器306和用于在存储设备(例如,热水存储装置310、电力控制系统312和/或电动车辆314)之间进行选择的控制器308。
如图所示,数据聚合器306、电气设备307A-307D、发电源304以及存储设备310和314全部都耦合到控制器308。控制器308可以被配置为提供从发电源304和/或存储源310、312、314引导电流以向一个或多个电气设备或电器(诸如设备307A-307D)供电所需的通信和电力切换。
数据聚合器306可以收集关于消耗地点302的各种类型的信息。数据聚合器306收集到的一些信号和信息可以包括(例如,发电源304的)电力生产信息、功耗信息(例如,能量使用量和次数)、电力使用类型和/或关于消耗地点302处的能量存储介质或方法的可用性的信息。在一些方面中,消耗地点302的特性/约束信息也可以由数据聚合器306例如经由通信网络(未示出)收集。
作为示例,当太阳能阵列处于其高峰生产并且与消耗地点302相关联的客户通常不在家(例如,在工作日)时,在中午期间能量生产可能超过能量使用。基于由数据聚合器306收集到的使用类型信息,可以确定相关联客户的主要电力使用是给各种电器和电子设备供电所需的电流的形式。基于这些考虑,可以为电池存储设备(诸如存储装置312)计算与热水储存设备(例如,存储设备310)相比,较高的利用效率分数。因此,可以使用数据聚合器向客户生成消息,以让他/她知道,例如,基于他/她的典型工作日使用,电池存储装置比热水存储装置更可取。
在还有的另一个示例中,与消耗地点302相关联的客户可能偏好在夜间时间期间频繁地驾驶他/她的电动车辆。因此,基于客户的能量利用类型(例如,为电动车辆供电),电动车辆中的能量存储装置可以被确定为与或者独立电池(例如,第二存储装置312)或者热水存储系统(例如,第一存储装置310)相比具有更好(更高)的利用效率分数。
在一些方面中,可以使用建筑物约束或特性信息来对特定存储介质类型的利用效率分数进行加权。例如,在消耗地点具有相对小平方英尺(例如,小型企业或住宅位置)的情况下,由于在客户位置处的空间约束,冰生成/存储系统可能被更低地加权,即,给予较低的利用效率分数。
在另一个方面中,在建筑物特性信息指示特定消耗位置没有加热-通风和空调(HVAC)系统的情况下,那么恒温器驱动的存储方法(诸如预热或预冷)可能被更少地加权(或根本不推荐)。可替代地,如果建筑物约束/特性数据指示建筑物配备有非电热水器(例如,太阳能热水器),那么将过量的电能存储为热水的存储介质可以被确定为具有较低的利用效率分数并且因此将比其它能量存储方法更不可能被推荐。
在还有的另一个示例中,在确定资产缺少汽车停车场(例如,车库空间或停车位)的情况下,在电动车辆电池上包括能量存储装置的存储方法与例如本地电池存储装置或水加热相比可能被更少地加权。
图4图示了可以使用类似于以上关于图1-图3所讨论的数据聚合器来实现的示例方法400的步骤。方法400从步骤402开始,其中客户消耗数据例如被数据聚合系统聚合。取决于期望的实现,客户消耗数据的聚合可以以不同的方式执行。在一些方法中,消耗数据可以由聚合系统从远程源(诸如公用设施提供商或第三方数据提供商)接收。在其它方法中,客户消耗数据的聚合可以通过数据聚合系统和智能计量设备(例如,AMI设备等)之间的直接交互来执行。
如上所述,客户消耗数据可以包括描述或量化可消耗资源的使用的任何类型的数据。作为示例,消耗数据可以包括一段时间内消耗的、表示为负载曲线数据的电力使用量。此外,消耗数据可以包括描述资源消耗的统计或趋势的信息,诸如通常何时发生高峰使用的指示。虽然前述示例是关于电力的消耗来讨论的,但是应该理解的是,本公开也预期了其它可消耗资源。例如,可消耗资源可以包括水和/或天然气等。
在步骤404中,从一个或多个能量生产设备或服务接收能量生产数据。能量生产数据可以包括与一个或多个能量生成源的能量生产有关的任何类型的信息。能量生成源可以包括生成电力源的任何设备或方法,并且可以包括但不限于:太阳能阵列、风力涡轮发电机、诸如潮汐和波浪发电的海洋能源(沿海位置)、其它水电涡轮机等。
一旦数据聚合系统收集到消耗数据和能量生产数据,方法400就进行到步骤406,其中确定多个能量存储设备或解决方案中的每一个的利用效率分数。应当理解的是,虽然消耗和能量生产数据可以用于利用效率分数计算,但是可以采用各种其它信号和/或数据源。作为示例,可以收集关于用户位置、公用设施提供商偏好、客户偏好、天气和/或各种能量存储解决方案的成本数据的信息并将其用于执行利用效率分数计算。
计算出的利用效率分数提供可量化的评分来指示对特定客户的特定能量存储解决方案的适当程度。以这种方式,可以直接比较不同的能量存储解决方案和方法,例如,以帮助向一个或多个用户或客户提供推荐。
在步骤408中,基于利用效率分数对两个或更多个能量存储设备进行排名。在一些方面中,具有低于预定阈值的利用效率分数的存储解决方案可以不被考虑用于排名。作为示例,如果对电池(8)、热水器(6)和冰生成方法(2)计算利用分数,那么可以确定电池和热水器为第一最佳解决方案和第二最佳解决方案(即,分别具有8和6的利用分数)。但是,如果存在7的排名阈值,那么只有电池可能在排名中返回。
随后,在步骤410中,基于能量存储设备中的至少一个的利用效率分数向客户提供通知。就以上关于步骤405所讨论的示例进一步,可以将排名(仅包括电池)提供给用户作为对他/她的特定使用类型的推荐能量存储选项。
图5图示了根据本技术的一些方面的可以用于实现数据聚合系统的硬件部件的概念框图。

各个方面可以在各种各样的操作环境中实现,操作环境在一些情况下可以包括可用于操作多个应用中的任何应用的一个或多个用户计算机、计算设备或处理设备。用户或客户端设备可以包括多种通用个人计算机中的任何一种,诸如运行标准操作系统的台式或膝上型计算机、以及运行移动软件并且能够支持多种联网和消息传送协议的蜂窝、无线和手持式设备。这种系统还可以包括运行各种可商业上获得的操作系统中的任何一种以及用于诸如开发和数据库管理目的的其它已知应用的多个工作站。这些设备还可以包括其它电子设备,诸如虚拟终端、瘦客户端、游戏系统以及能够经由网络通信的其它设备。
