Invensys Home Controls – Home Manager   Residential Load Management Service Offering Background Traditionally, utilities have done an excellent job of providing a reliable source of power to their customers. Utilities do this by accurately predicting consumer demand and then ensuring that they have adequate generation resources available to meet that demand. Historically, demand for power increases each year during peak heating and cooling months, resulting in a need for ever increasing amounts of generation capacity. A review of the peak period demand clearly show that we could eliminate the need for a substantial amount of new generation assets if there was a way to shift some of the demand from peak to off peak times. Current Programs Utilities do currently offer demand reduction programs to their customers. These programs are designed to shift loads out of peak periods by providing a financial incentive for consumers to move loads to a time when it is less expensive for the utility to produce or obtain power. Time of day rate is an example of such a program. Another type of program offered by utilities is the traditional Demand Side Management (DSM) program. This type of program provides the customer a monthly credit for allowing the utility to interrupt power to major loads in their home during peaks or emergencies. While both of these programs have been shown to work, they each have their problems. Time of day rate programs are difficult for customers to understand. Therefore these programs have a very low participation rate among the customer base. DSM programs, on the other hand, have a much higher participation rate. However, DSM load sheds are seldom exercised by the utility. And, when the utility does exercise a load shed, the resulting interruption of power tends to affect customer comfort, thereby causing large numbers of customers to drop out of the program. In addition, current DSM programs cannot differentiate between those consumers that contribute to a load control, and those that don’t, while providing incentive credits to all who sign up. While both time of day rates and DSM programs can be effective, each have challenges in the area of customer satisfaction that erode their usefulness. In addition, utilities earn little revenue from these types of offerings and therefore look to new generation as a more economically viable option. GoodWatts   To solve this dilemma, Invensys Home Control Systems has developed the Home Manager coupled with the GoodWatts Service offering. The Home Manager is an “always on” home control system that monitors and manages major residential loads. It is designed to reduce the peak demands of the home while maintaining acceptable customer comfort levels. The Home Manager is the next generation of residential load management. How does it work? In each home, the Home Manager operates over a wireless network with a residential gateway communicating with the major loads in the home. The gateway is attached to a broadband network that connects each home to the distribution utility or energy service provider serving the home. This network creates a direct link between the energy supplier and all the major loads in the home. Unlike traditional systems, the in-home network supports a wide array of monitoring and control points including: ! Whole house interval metering ! HVAC thermostat monitoring and control ! Sub-metering and control of other major loads (such as pumps and electric water heaters) ! Net metering for effective management of distributed generation assets Today, the system is designed to provide monitoring and control of these major loads with the potential to expand to other points of control in the future, thus expanding its sphere of control and home automation capabilities. Future features like home security and appliance monitoring are all part of the product road map for the Home Manager system. System Features The unique design of the Home Manager system give it operational characteristics unlike any other system on the market today. Customer Comfort Preserved The Home Manager ensures optimal customer comfort by providing soft load control of HVAC systems. This precise control allows the heating and cooling systems to operate more efficiently without impacting customer comfort levels. This level of control is enabled by the unique temperature ramping capabilities of the Variable Deadband Thermostat. This thermostat manages the environmental comfort range in the home by varying the set point over a range of settings in tenths of a degree. Because of this precise control the system is able to deliver energy reductions using a soft load control eliminating the thermal gain or loss characteristics of traditional control systems which result in customer complaints. Revenue Neutral GoodWatts controls other major loads in such a way that the energy provider does not lose revenue, and the customer’s needs are also met. For instance, while the customer may specifically program a major load, such as a pool pump to run a set number of hours, he is generally indifferent to the exact time that the pump runs. In GoodWatts, items like pool pumps are reprogrammed to run for the same number of hours desired by the consumer, however, the load will not operate during peak periods. The net result is that the energy provider does not have a loss of energy sales, and the consumer does not have a loss of functionality. Therefore, GoodWatts allows utilities to shift loads without the loss of total energy consumed and its associated revenue. Enhanced load profile data allows for equitable distribution of incentive payments to consumer. Another unique feature of the Home Manager is its ability to provide ANSI C12 revenue grade sub metering at the load control level. Home Manager provides individual load profiling as well as a means to verify the exact load reduction contributed by each load to a specific curtailment command. Through this featur…
