2. Distributed DR Algorithms Goal: Testing and evaluation of distributed DR strategies Dense deployment of metering devices on appliances and office equipment, with actuation by the energy gateway – Thermostatically-controlled loads (e.g. refrigerators, space heaters, etc.) – Battery-powered loads (e.g. laptop computers, desktop computers with UPS units, etc.) – Lighting (e.g. overhead lights, lamps, etc.) – Other office equipment (e.g. printers, routers, etc.) 2

4. Sensor Data Management: sMAP Interface for gathering and storing heterogeneous, unsynchronized physical data Includes data from zone lights and two types of plug meters 4 http://green.millennium.berkeley.edu:8080/media/graph/demo.html

6. Devices with Onboard Batteries Case Study: Laptops Collected traces to build empirical model of charge and discharge behavior Power delivered is a function of battery capacity Developing metrics to design laptop charge schedule during DR period Mix of known state (power consumption, maybe battery capacity) and unknown state (mobility, computation load) 6

7. 7 power battery capacity

8. Curtailment of Battery Charging in a DR Event Assume N laptops with uniform distributed capacity states Assume laptops leave and enter zone both at a Poisson rate with λ=1 Define duration of DR Event Throughout DR event, set curtailment ratio c (% of baseline load) and select laptops to charge Choose c to minimize projected peak power for remainder of DR event 8

10. Charging Curtailment Simulation Results 30% curtailment possible Choice of curtailment ratio is crucial to how load management throughout DR event Aggressive initial curtailment may offset peak load reduction towards end of DR event Aggregate distributed load in a zone can be shaped using device energy storage 10

11. Desktop Power Management Desktop + UPS is similar to laptop Collaboration with Dhaani Systems – Using network appliance to manage state (and power) of Windows machines – Machines put to sleep remotely when not in use – During DR event, aggressiveness can be increased 11

13. Lighting Lighting zones on SDH 4 – Actuate using Wattstopper via BACnet – High (50W) and low-power (25W) ballasts in each zone 13

14. Other Loads Printers – High peak-to-idle ratio (> 75:1) – Idea: DR-aware print queue Avoid concurrent printing (and resulting high peak load) Modify existing print server 14

15. Next Steps Application of techniques to similar loads Integrated management of heterogeneous loads Occupant light control 15
