Definitions

  • the invention relates to an energy management gateway for energy management of a building or such, and a method thereof.
  • DR demand response
  • demand response is used to manage customer consumption of electricity in response to supply conditions, for example, having electricity customers reduce their consumption at critical times or in response to market prices.
  • Demand response services for industrial or residential buildings, have been around for long time, e.g., implemented as shutting offloads (load shedding) when the grid peak condition requires this.
  • HVAC heating, ventilation and conditioning
  • Traditional DR is primary utilities' control task that often focuses on a few end users with limited customer options and fixed rates and participation incentives.
  • Energy gateways, used in today's DR are usually provided by the utility (i.e. the energy provider) and tailored to fit in the certain configuration of the utility.
  • US 2012/0053746 discloses a home energy management system for receiving data indicative of a current demand state of an associated utility supplying energy and transmitting data in response.
  • the energy management system comprises at least one home energy consuming system and a controller being configured and arranged to communicate with the at least one home energy consuming system, the controller is capable of automatically responding to the demand signal adopting an opt-in or an opt-out status for the home energy consuming system in compliance or in noncompliance with the demand signal.
  • the controller includes an interface allowing optional programming by an associated user to automatically provide an opt-out response wherein the demand for limiting energy consumption is not recognized.
  • an energy management gateway for controlling electrical loads of electrical devices associated with the gateway.
  • the gateway is configured for operating in a DR mode where the gateway is connected to a demand response (DR) service provider and receives DR signals from said service provider, and in an isolated mode where the gateway is not connected to a DR service provider.
  • DR demand response
  • a method of an energy management gateway comprising:
  • DR demand response
  • An embodiment of the method aspect of the present invention may in some embodiments be performed by an embodiment of the gateway aspect of the present invention.
  • a computer program product comprising computer-executable components for causing an energy management gateway to perform an embodiment of a method of the present invention when the computer-executable components are run on a processor comprised in the gateway.
  • a computer program comprising computer program code which is able to, when run on an energy management gateway, cause the gateway to:
  • DR demand response
  • a computer program product comprising an embodiment of a computer program of the present invention, and a computer readable means on which the computer program is stored.
  • the gateway Since the gateway is capable of operating both in a DR mode and in an isolated mode, it can function as an energy management system (EMS), with corresponding EMS logic, and could also be part of a utility's (service provider/energy provider) Automated Demand Response (ADR) program.
  • EMS energy management system
  • ADR Automated Demand Response
  • the gateway can thus function as an EMS if no ADR or DR is available, and can connect to an ADR program if available. This implies that an electricity customer, e.g. a private person or a company, can use the same gateway for energy management, regardless of whether an ADR program if available. Also, a producer of gateways do not have to produce different gateways for ADR and non-ADR. In isolated mode, the gateway may operate
  • the gateway of the present disclosure may thus be suitable for local use in private homes or industrial buildings and may spread the use of ADR to a wider range of customers. Even if ADR is not available at the premises at installation there of a gateway, ADR may be available in the future, in which case the gateway is already configured to make use of it.
  • a user of the gateway can manually, via a user interface, switch the gateway from one mode to another mode (DR or isolated). In other embodiments, the gateway automatically enters the DR mode when it is connected to a DR service provider, otherwise staying in isolated mode.
  • One way to do that is to have energy management system installed locally at building/household level, another way is to allow the user to input its own preferences to control the gateway. Having energy management system (EMS) locally, larger number of devices can be made part of energy optimization.
  • EMS energy management system
  • a way to enable local energy management may be an energy gateway that is responsible for handling outbound communication towards utilities and integration of building/household energy loads. Further, the gateway may hosts energy management logic for coordinate control of loads.
  • the gateway is also configured for allowing a user to input preferences into the gateway for how the gateway should control the loads in view of the received DR signals when the gateway is in the DR mode.
  • the user e.g. a private person or company employee, may e.g. instruct the gateway to disregard some or all DR signals, or to take certain actions in response to certain DR signals, the user may input the preferences (rules) via a user interface of the gateway.
  • the gateway is pre-programmed with information about the available electrical energy. If e.g. the preferred local type of electricity is from solar power, the gateway may be preprogramed to try to reduce the use of electricity at night time and increase the use of electricity during day time. Similar information may be used if e.g. wind power electricity is used. This may be especially beneficial when the gateway is in isolated mode, but the information may also be combined with DR signals to form a basis for energy management by the gateway.
  • the preprograming may have been done by the user via a user interface, or e.g. at manufacturing of the gateway or by a service technician.
  • the gateway is pre-programmed with a first set of rules for operation of the gateway in the DR mode, and with a second set of rules for operation of the gateway in the isolated mode.
  • the gateway may operate according to one set of rules when no ADR input is available, and according to another set of rules when said rules can be considered in combination with information obtained from ADR input signals.

  • DR Demand response
  • ADR automated demand response
  • signals are sent from a service provider to the gateway, which signals include information about the electricity being delivered now, or in the future, allowing the gateway to act on this information when controlling the electrical loads.
  • the information which may be sent with DR signals include e.g. price, CO2 emission, general availability of electricity, and/or availability of locally generated electricity such as solar or wind.

  • Such preferences and/or rules may in the example of fig 1, e.g. be that the freezer 15 has highest priority, the fridge 14 has medium priority and the AC 13 has lowest priority.

  • the gateway may similarly reduce the amount of electricity provided to the AC 13 e.g. if the DR signals indicate a high price or high CO2 emissions, but not reduce the amount of electricity provided to the freezer 15 which has a higher priority.
