4 What is the Smart Grid? Energy Telecommunications Information Technology An intelligent electric delivery system that responds to the needs of and directly communicates with consumers. Enterprise GIS and the Smart Electric Grid, ESRI, 2009 An automated grid which will apply greater intelligence to operate, monitor and even heal itself Smart Grid White Paper, Deploying a smarter grid through cable solutions and services, Nexamns, 2010

5 Why are we interested in the Smart Grid? Rising demand for energy Finite fossil fuel resources Rising energy prices Prevention of global warming Reduction in carbon emissions National and international legislative drivers Rising renewable energy supply and energy storage provisions Demand for a stable electricity grid The List is Endless

6 The Grid of the future Single direction energy flow Bi-direction energy flow

7 The Benefits of the Smart Grid Reduces the number & length of electricity outages Reduces energy losses Reduces Green House Gas emissions Optimises transformer and network operations Reduces peak demand & capital expenditure on peaking plants Optimises the use of renewable energy Improves energy efficiency Allows greater control of energy consumption Significant Economic Benefits for Leaders in Smart Grid and the Green Economy!

8 Energy Monitoring and Energy Management are the starting blocks to a successful Smart Grid

9 Start with monitoring energy consumption Measure energy consumption data via Smart Meters, BMS or automated meter readers installed in a building A meaningful tangible interface is required to convert energy consumption data into meaningful information Without Monitoring You Cannot Manage!

10 Energy Management Traditionally the role of the BEMS Building energy management drift: Incorrectly set-up Human interaction Changing occupants Changing plant and building envelope Lack of expertise to manage energy Carbon Trust report 90% of buildings are inefficient Continuous Commissioning is the future!

11 Continuous Commissioning Continuous Commissioning focuses on optimizing HVAC system operation and control for the existing building conditions. It is an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimize energy use and identify retrofits for existing commercial buildings. It focuses on improving overall system control and operations for the building, as it is currently utilized, and on meeting existing facility needs. Continuous Commissioning: Low Capital Large Savings, John Tenpenny, Continuous Commissioning is the future!

12 Return on Investment / Payback Energy Management drives commercial benefits for the end user in terms of energy efficiency Green Buildings provide 3 to 6 % better rents. 6% higher rents Green Buildings realise 16% improvement in capital value. Green Buildings provide 3- Green Buildings realise 16% improvement in their Doing Well by Doing Good?

13 BMS System Installed Centralised Energy Bureau Energy Monitoring System implemented Initial optimisation of control Benchmarking to peer buildings Continuous energy and alarm monitoring Continuous Commissioning of the building Energy Management the Way Forward Delivered through cloud based technology!

14 Benefits of Cloud Based Energy Management Continuously evolving solutions; Automatic updates pushed to customers; Faster development of integration across systems including: BMS systems IT systems Communications systems Smart Grid and Demand Response software Energy experts not required on site; No geographical boundaries for organisations; Provides an ideal multi-site platform for organisations.

15 The move to Smart Grid Buildings no longer operating in isolation; Cloud based portal to buildings; Cloud based aggregator for utilities; Common communication language; Aggregator facilitates smart load control and demand response; Facilitates two way communication. Smart Grid is an evolving concept but the way of the future

16 The move to Smart Grid Cloud based aggregator Open ADR Language Cloud based aggregator provides the common language platform

17 Smart Grid for Ireland Smart Grid is gaining traction internationally; The answer is not fully formed thus creating an opportunity; Ireland can be at the forefront of this industry; Ireland s track record in renewable energy innovation; Large proportion of renewable energy on the grid; An existing energy management infrastructure in place; Suitable geography for electric vehicles; Willingness for large multi-nationals to invest. We must drive Ireland forward as a leader in the Smart Grid
