3 Commissioning Existing Buildings Joan Gregerson, E-Source, Report TU-97-3; 3

4 4 Optimizing Building Operation Development of a building diagnostic software (DABO: Diagnostic Agent for Building Operation) Development of a standard recommissioning methodology Development of training courses Implementation in NRCan buildings

5 5 NRCan Sites GHG Progress to Date LoC projects resulted in reduced operating costs for the Department and contributed to facility renewal. **The above percentages reflect static GHG factors.

6 6 Renewable Heating and Cooling Renewable Heating & Cooling Cold-climate heat pumps Heat storage Refrigerants To develop technologies capable of meeting 75% of the heating and cooling needs from renewables (air, water, ground, sun) and available heat (rejected heat, irreversibilities)

7 7 Case Study Innovative refrigeration system at the Loblaws supermarket in Repentigny, Québec Store Opening: April 28, 2004

8 8 Northern and Remote Communities: Rethinking Energy Systems for the North Activities DND projects Alert base Gagetown mobile camp Varennes Demo-camp Meetings with NATO Resolute Bay Description Identification and quantification of electrical and thermal energy loads and consumption Strategies for thermal energy recovery and upgrading in fixed and mobile camps (30 to 55% energy savings) DND aware of the importance of energy Energy consumption reduced by 19%, annual utility costs by 14%, and GHG emissions by 15% (already identified)

9 9 Industrial Systems Optimization Waste Heat Learn the Process Integration concepts for a more efficient use of energy in industrial facilities Understand, identify and evaluate heat recovery opportunities in utility systems and processes INTEGRATION Data Mining Learn advanced data analysis to understand process and reduce process variability Uncover the most critical variables affecting process operations Identify low-cost improvement measures EXPLORE Cogeneration (CHP) Modeling and optimization of CHP systems Understand production, equipment, environmental and contractual constraints Produce heat and power cost effectively COGEN $3M, 35 PY Biorefinery Understand biorefinery technologies Evaluate the economic viability and environmental benefits of a biorefinery (integrated into existing pulp and paper operations or standalone) I-BIOREF

10 A National Outreach Strategy: Office of Energy Efficiency Canmet collaboration 10 Strategy: Increase supply and demand for PI services Raising Awareness Objective: PI market transformation Process Integration in Canadian Industry Building PI Capacity Awareness & Demonstration Capacity Building Support to Policy and Aides Programs è res Supporting Programs Definition & Delivery Information Communication Plant Visits INTEGRATION Software Training & Workshops Financial Support Technical Support Assessing Results & Impacts Scoping Studies Technical Support & Coaching Results & Impacts CanmetENERGY in Varennes is the national centre of expertise in PI!

11 Process Integration Industrial Program: Impact Study Results (2014) Renewable Electricity MWh per year: Electricity consumption of 100,000 Canadians Revenue: $35 Million per year Fuel Savings Achieved 6,600 TJ per year: Enough to heat 100,000 homes Cost savings: $34 Million per year (at 2013 energy prices) GHG Reductions 390,000 Tonnes per year: Emissions of 100,000 cars 11 Cost-effectiveness Industry investment Average payback Other benefits Over $110 million 1.5 Year Water savings, Production increase Program Participation 62 PI studies In 8 industrial sectors and 8 provinces Ref.: Process Integration Incentive program: Results and Impacts , Natural Resources Canada, 2014

13 13 Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Integration To support national S&T efforts that will contribute to the modernization of the electricity grid network, enhance the benefits of renewable and clean distributed energy resources Key Issues: Standards and Codes Interoperability Balancing (renewable energy variability) Power quality

14 Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources 14 Active Distribution Networks Efficient control and reliable operation of distribution networks with self-healing capability Sustainable Microgrids Optimum design and energy management of gridconnected and remote microgrids Virtual Power Plant Balancing power system supply & demand PV Integration Impact and benefits of distributed generation

15 Example: Nemiah Valley, BC Research on medium-penetration solar PV, whereby the PV generation exceeded the load Three measures in the Nemiah grid: Introducing 6 distributed rooftop PV - 27kW Replacing a 95 kw genset by a 30 kw genset Reducing commercial loads Fuel saving with 25% reduction in diesel fuel compared to baseline PV Commercial load control 30 kw genset House with PV House without PV Service Entrance Service Entrance Pay as you go Meter kwh $ kwh $ Pay as you go Meter 120/240V 120/240V 600V Generation Bus 14,400V Distribution Grid Source: Dave Turcotte, Sophie Pelland 120/240V Critical Commercial Loads Bus Day/Night Switch 25kVA 120/240V Daytime Commercial Bus 250kVA

16 Example: Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Demand Side Management in Hartley Bay, BC residences and 18 buildings Hartley Bay, BC: first remote microgrid of its kind in North America Rural electricity cooperative savings remain in the community First-year research results modify transformer loading; monitoring 3 diesel generators; research dispatch strategy with DR; years 2-3: research on demand-responsive load and validate optimal smart grid operation. Fuel savings with 20% reduction in diesel fuel compared to baseline Estimated Savings in Diesel Consumptions (l/year)
