1 Your Home an Intelligent Energy Cluster Ronnie Belmans CEO of EnergyVille / Professor at University of Leuven Executive Director of Global Smart Grid Federation

2 The world is changing Europe:

3 Trends Large-scale integration of Renewable Energy Sources Large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources Evolution towards smart grids

4 Balancing the grid

5 Challenges!!!!!!!!!! Demand drives generation Bidirectional flows generation drives demand Techno-economical puzzle: coordinated grid actions with all the players involved

6 Smart Homes from which perspective Home Automation - Lighting - Security - Multimedia Smart Construction (NZEB) - Isolation - Ventilation - Heat pump - Natural light / sunblinds Smart Energy Systems - Smart heat Pump - Solar panels - Smart Household Appliances - EV Charging

7 Nearly Zero Energy Buildings and the reality of energy markets 900 Isolation Ventilation kwh ?

8 Residential Demand Response 250 participating families Full system integration value chain: 20 partners International Recognition 9

9 Insulating envelope (shell) pre-fab, 3-day construction period High end insulating materials (60% energy savings) Solar panels Energy module Including all energy related elements like: HVAC, heat pump, DHW and water storage, PV converter, battery (storage) Smart Energy control per individual house To increase the agility of energy supply and demand (prosumption) Smart Energy Software to flexibilize the neighbourhood Increase flexibility by clustering energy streams on an aggregated level Rennovates - Integrated approach to retrofitting buildings Project co-funded by the European Commission in the H2020 Programme.

10 EnergyVille framework Large consumers Commodity PRICE, PRICE, PRICE, and reliability Electricity and gas are products Europe based Service for small consumers Energy sources: do not care Comfort, well being SME: Sit back and relax Local Based (Flanders, )

11 Your Home, an Intelligent Energy Cluster Investments ROI (financial)? reduce CONNECTION CAPACITY, while increasing total electricity consumption Peace of mind (insurance)? Back-up = STORAGE HEATING + DC (LED, multimedia, mobility, ) Time Management (comfort)? AUTOMATED SYSTEMS climate control, cost savings ToU prices

12 Flexibility is key an opportunity! Consumer-side Flexibility Shiftable Demand Generation-side Flexibility Flexible Generation Storage Electricy Heat

13 Consumer Flexibility: demand response flexible load When large amounts of renewable energy are injected, grid overload situations are possible Activation of additional demand can solve this Quote (Art. 15.8) from the European Commission Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU): Member states shall promote access to and participation of Demand Response in balancing, reserves and other system services markets

14 Sources of Consumer Flexibility Residential SME & buildings Large Industry
