Caffeet workshop, Berkeley, November 2012 ENERGY MANAGEMENT AT DISTRICT- LEVEL: THE RESILIENT PROJECT Sylvain Robert, CEA LIST
RESILIENT: FACTS & FIGURES An European collaborative applied research project Funded in the frame of the 7 th Framework program of the European Commission (2007-2013), as part of the Energy Efficient Building (E2B) Public Private Partnership (as part of the recovery plan, 1 billion on the 2009-2013 period to boost the European construction sector) RESILIENT stands for coupling REnewable, Storage and ICTs, for Low carbon Intelligent Energy management at district level, involves 14 partners from 5 European countries (Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom), has a budget of 8,8 M (5,5 M EU contribution) has a duration of 4 years (started in September 2012)
«optimizing energy consumption and network stability (leading to resilience) means matching supply and demand at a local (district) level» DIVIDE & CONQUER «District is defined as a holistically managed and self encompassing built environment entity composed of a grouping of buildings, public spaces, roads, undergrounds, utility networks, and a diverse community» (RESILIENT project proposal, December 2011)
RESILIENT: OBJECTIVES & BASE CONCEPT Objective: Annual primary energy demand of buildings collated at a district level is decreased by at least 20% (same for CO2 emission reference level) Approach & challenges Local optimization: matching local demand to local supply, instead of relying on external grids Achieve an overall balance in all energy flows (multiple energy carriers) relying on local buffering Demo-intensive project Heterogeneous energy production (with cogeneration) Large-scale storage (especially for heat) Concept Innovative integrated combination of the microgrid and energy hub concepts applied at district level ICT-intensive District Energy Management System (DEMS) Supporting planning & operation
RESILIENT: OPTIMIZATION AT DESIGN STAGE User-design objectives & constraints Objectives Optimisation tool Optimised district configurations Design recommendations Programme constraints Environmental data Targeted site characteristics, climate, etc Simulation platform Models library Tailored physical models for storage and production, simplified building modelling Performance District energy & CO 2 balance
RESILIENT: OPTIMIZATION AT OPERATION STAGE Environmental & energy data Distributed and multi-scale, hierarchical management & optimization Agent-based platform Real-time district energy management Real-time evolution Decision support Local and global optimization Objectives & constraints User-defined Storage and highperformance computing platform Prediction, Simulation, Optimization platform Expert systems Lifelong cloud storage High-performance computing support Evolutive & flexible management rules (fuzzy-logic) Simulation platform District Information Model Ontology for district energy management
