Autonomic Home Energy Management –Sharing of sensor data between appliances Door/window sensors from security system relevant to heating Smart lighting occupancy sensors used to turn off computer monitors/TVs –Outcome-oriented scheduling Scheduling based on when an outcome is desired E.g. User wants dishes washed before breakfast at 8am: program can be scheduled at any time before then. E.g. User wants house to be 20 degrees when they get home from work at 6pm: schedule heating to come on at appropriate time based on pricing, environmental conditions etc. –Balancing of conflicting appliances

Smart Meter Penetration Rates North America will grow at a compound annual rate of 31.3 percent until 2015 to reach 78.3 million units at the end of the period. North America has the world’s highest penetration Asia-Pacific is projected to see the number of smart meters soar from a low level to 116.6 million units by 2015.

Intelligent Acquisition and Supply of Energy : Excess Microgeneration Homes with micro- generation capability may produce excess energy. Example: solar generation peaks during the daytime, but peak consumption is in mornings and evenings. Dilemma whether to: –Store excess energy (batteries, thermal storage, water heater) –Sell excess to utilities
24
Opportunistic Decision Making: Heat Planning Strategies Planning of heating. Desired temperature of 20 degrees Celsius by 8am. Example: tariff changes shortly before specified outcome. Option 1 (Full Heat): heat at full power to reach target temperature at exactly 8am.
25
Opportunistic Decision Making: Heat Planning Strategies Option 2 (Half Heat): Heat at a slower rate over a longer period. Less peak energy usage. Overall cost may be lower.
26
Opportunistic Decision Making: Heat Planning Option 3 (Heat and Maintain): Heat to desired temperature by tariff changeover. Peak consumption only to maintain heat, rather than raise temperature. More overall energy use, but costs are lower.
27
Opportunistic Decision Making: Heat Planning Strategies Full Heat strategy consumes all its energy at peak tariff. Half Heat balances consumption better between peak and off- peak prices. Heat and Maintain uses more energy overall, but most is off-peak. Storage adds complexity.
28
Intelligent Acquisition and Supply of Energy: Time of Use (TOU) Pricing –Installation of smart meters in existing homes allows for pre- published Time Of Use (TOU) pricing with a single supplier; –Example: CNT Energy Power Smart Pricing Program (Illinois, USA) TOU prices available for every hour of the day, published in advance the evening before –Only 30% of customers checked prices daily –Dynamic pricing will only change behaviour if handled automatically –TOU data could be scrapped from a variety of energing websites http://bmreports.com/bwx_reporting.htm (UK, commercial)http://bmreports.com/bwx_reporting.htm https://il.thewattspot.com/login.do?method=showChart (US, residential)https://il.thewattspot.com/login.do?method=showChart http://www.sem-o.com/Pages/default.aspx (Ireland, commercial)http://www.sem-o.com/Pages/default.aspx
29
Intelligent Acquisition and Supply of Energy: Dynamic Pricing Strategies –Real-time Dynamic Pricing with Demand Response (suits Permanent/Immediate Consumption); –Pre-negotiation of blocks of energy for particular times (suits Schedulable/Permanent Consumption); –Conditional Tariffs Penalty-based: low price if peak consumption kept below a particular threshold with punitive rates if this is exceeded. Reward-based: keep peak consumption below a particular threshold and receive preferential off-peak rates, loyalty based incentives; –Tariff description standards and negotiation protocols need to be agreed upon across utilities and HEM manufacturers.

Conclusions Challenge: Dynamic pricing ultimately only changes behaviour if handled automatically; Effecting Behavioural Change is difficult; Opportunity: If in-home energy management is autonomic, dynamic pricing has greater scope for influencing consumption patterns; Collaborative Intelligent decision making between a network of smart objects underpins this opportunity;
