1 Optimising Energy Use in Cities through Smart Decision Support Systems Energy Management for Sustainable Action Plans, Brussels, 18 June 2015 Siegfried Zoellner, Coordinator, ICLEI European Secretariat This project is co-funded by the European Union
2 The challenge: cities are increasingly hungry for energy Cities consume over 2/3rds of the world s energy; they are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases; and can influence over 70 % of the total ecological footprint. And with 6 out of 10 people expected to live in cities by 2030, urban energy demands are continuously growing (WHO).
3 Using city data to make smart energy decisions Local authorities are uniquely placed to play a key role in the European and national goals of developing a low-carbon economy: have a huge sphere of influence and a duty to promote the social, economic and environmental well-being of their community. as permanent bodies that plan for the long term a number of data sets available portfolios include many types of building, each which use significant amounts of energy
4 Energy is one of the largest controllable overheads in many local authority buildings
5 The OPTIMUS approach. using city data to make smart energy-saving decisions in public buildings The OPTIMUS project aims to design, develop and deliver an integrated ICT platform that will collect & structure open data sets to recommend the best energy-saving opportunities available in public buildings Developing the Training sessions The city assessment Piloting the DSS Decision Support for other cities to framework three cities System (DSS) implement the DSS DSS Savona, Sant Cugat, Zaanstad
6 The SCEAF Model Smart City Energy Assessment Framework General characteristics Political Field of Action Energy & Environmental Profile Related Infrastructure Energy & ICT 1.1 Degree of ambition 1.2 Efficiency at fulfilling targets 2.1 Energy Consumption Intensity 2.2 Energy production via Renewable Technology 2.3 Energy Conservation Issues 2.4 Network Efficiency 3.1 Monitoring Systems BEMS 3.2 Levels of integration of automations, Mart meters & ICT solutions 3.3 Forecasting systems 1.3 Asset Management 2.5 Ambient Air Pollution 3.4 Exploitation of Social Media
7 OPTIMUS Rating Chart Calculated score per axis OPTIMUS City City under Evaluation Highest score in every indicator Specific score in each indicator Scaling Political Field of Action Energy & Environmental Profile Related Infrastructures & ICT
8 Developing the DSS (1/8) an overview of the architecture OPTIMUS DSS will be fed with data sources from multiple domains and it will support the short-term energy action plans of municipal buildings. OPTIMUS Decision Support System (DSS) Weather forecasting De-centralized data Social Feedback Energy pricing Renewable energy sources
9 Developing the DSS (2/8) Module 1: Weather Forecasting DSS Weather can heavily affect energy consumption in a city (e.g. heating/cooling in public buildings, energy use in public venues and stadiums, etc.). By collecting data from weather forecasting we can develop accurate energy-demand models and map consumer behaviour related to the selected public buildings, which in turn can be used to help plan and optimise the energy use in the future. Some of the most relevant parameters that will be taken into account include: Temperature Wind speed & direction Period of irradiation Humidity Solar irradiation Sky coverage
10 Developing the DSS (3/8) Module 2: De-centralized Data DSS Energy monitoring requires a clear definition of the boundaries of the considered systems and a proper classification of the captured energy data. Data considered within this module can be distinguished in two main categories: Static data Building dimensions; Building materials; Building destination; Occupancy; Appliances consuming electricity; Instrumentations (e.g. light sensors); Dynamic data Indoor temperature from thermostats; Indoor humidity from psychrometers; Electricity consumption from counters; Natural Gas consumption from counters; Thermal flows from calorimeters or other flow meters; Occupancy from presence detectors.
11 Developing the DSS (4/8) Module 3: Social Feedback DSS Information provided by building occupants can assist the energy managers in adjusting thermal comfort parameters, in order to optimize energy use and maintaining comfort levels in accepted ranges. The idea is to use input from occupants of the building, reflecting their opinion about comfort levels in the buildings to help decide what action needs to be taken. Thermal Comfort Validator, a tool that evaluates thermal comfort at a 7-level scale.
12 Developing the DSS (5/8) Module 4: Energy Prices DSS This data- capturing module extracts real-time data on energy prices available from energy providers within the local markets. Prices will be evaluated for the following energy types: Thermal energy (Solar Thermal Energy, District Heating, Natural Gas, Biomass, LPG, others); Electricity (PV Energy Production, Wind Energy Production, National Grid Electricity, others).
13 Developing the DSS (6/8) Module 5: Energy Production DSS This module will collect data on the production of energy from renewable energy facilities available in the city and will match them with the energy demand profiles in order to propose the optimal energy management solution. The energy production is classified according to the kind of source (solar, wind, water power, renewed biomass, etc.) and the kind of energy produced (electricity, heat).
14 Developing the DSS (7/8) The user interface OPTIMUS DSS Sant Cugat Logged as: David Hernández Log out Sant Cugat > List of buildings Sant Cugat Buildings: 2 Total surface: m2 Renewable generation: PV plant (23 MWh) Thermal power: 850 kw Electrical power: 440 kw Total energy consumption: 2157kWh/m 2 CO 2 emissions: 86kgCO 2 /m 2 User requirements methods: User/group interviews Prototyping Use cases Brainstorming Town hall Status: No action required Last action: 15 / 04 / :00 Building description Building use: Office Address: Plaça de la Vila, 1 Year of construction: 2007 Surface: 8.593m2 Floors: 6 Occupation: 350 employees, 400 visitors Building description Building use: Cultural Address: Plaça de la Vila, 1 Year of construction: 2010 Surface: 9.593m2 Floors: 6 Occupation: 35 employees, 800 visitors Configuration Configuration Partitions 23 Partitions 8 Sensors 23 Sensors 11 Action plans 3 Theatre Status: Action required Last action: 15 / 03 / :00 Action plans 2

16 Piloting the DSS (1/2) Meet the three pilot cities This web-based decision support system (DSS) will be tested and validated through pilot applications in three different cities: Savona (Italy), Sant Cugat del Vallès (Spain) and Zaanstad (The Netherlands). Zaanstad (Netherlands) OPTIMUS will have, by design, the necessary degree of generalisation so as to be easily adapted to cities with different characteristics. Sant Cugat del Vallès (Spain) Savona (Italy)
