Studies have shown that HVAC accounts for almost 50% energy consumption in a building and 10% of global electricity usage. HVAC optimization thus has the potential to contribute significantly towards our sustainability goals, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In this work, we explore ways to optimize the HVAC controls in factories. Unfortunately, this is a complex problem as it requires computing an optimal state considering multiple variable factors, e.g. the occupancy, manufacturing schedule, temperature requirements of operating machines, air flow dynamics within the building, external weather conditions, energy savings, etc. We present a Reinforcement Learning (RL) based energy optimization model that has been applied in our factories. We show that RL is a good fit as it is able to learn and adapt to multi-parameterized system dynamics in real-time. It provides around 25% energy savings on top of the previously used Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130582178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With cities continuously pressed to cut upon their carbon emissions, it becomes vital to visualize different energy data under one application. This perfectly fits our vision of developing an interactive web-based urban energy dashboard, which shows not only static data but also real-time dynamic data such as measured data from sensors, all integrated into 3D city models. Evolution of the mentioned dashboard is presented using three different case study regions based on data availability and its urban scale: 1) Landkreis Ludwigsburg - A district in Baden Württemberg, Germany showing static urban energy data of specific heating demand 2) Brooklyn - A borough in New York City showing urban energy data of specific heating demand (incl. domestic hot water) over a temporal resolution of 5 years and 3) Wüstenrot - A small municipality in Germany showing real-time dynamic energy data streaming from sensors integrated into a 3D city model. Such an interactive dashboard presents both static and dynamic urban energy data to the citizens and city administration in the most straightforward yet effective manner.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123321280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the cost of energy generation is minimized myopically (day by day) via the economic dispatch problem, which i) does not internalize the effects of generation variability, ii) does not account for the long-term effects of losing too many existing (paid off) conventional plants, and iii) has the detrimental impact of not systematically maintaining grid inertia. The current dispatch solution favors low cost but inherently more variable renewables, which require intermittent back-up from either conventionals or expensive peakers. We first propose our Augmented Dispatch for Inertia method which incorporates the cost of maintaining grid inertia stability directly in the economic dispatch selection, thus more accurately capturing the impact of renewable energy growth and conventional plant retirements. Second, to address the long-term loss of conventional plants due to their underuse, we propose our Balanced Dispatch algorithm that selects key, future-needed conventional generators with enough frequency to maintain their viability. We show via simulation that our methods result in substantially lower long-term generation cost and a notable increase in grid resilience.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124248235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for this feature arises for instance in smart power distribution grids with many decentral devices. Their heterogeneous communication interconnections often feature low reliability and face frequently changing conditions. At the same time, high service reliability is required for critical applications such as voltage control. In this work, we show how to detect potential voltage violations in a medium voltage feeder with high probability at low monitoring cost. We employ a probabilistic power flow model to determine the time-dependent required reliability for the links of voltage monitoring VNRs and embed it onto a SN consisting of a mix of plausible smart grid communication technologies. We use a novel approach based on chance-constrained mixed integer linear programming to generate a minimal, but sufficient degree of redundancy. This allows for optimal resource usage of the SN, flexibility to adapt the embedding in case of changes of the VNR or SN parameters, and reduced design efforts in comparison to manual redundancy planning. Compared with a static redundancy setup, the operational communication costs can be more than halved in our simulation experiments.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125035081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MURB residents (around 42% in Europe) are potential adopters of electric vehicles (EV), but lack a private garage for EV charging. They need to exclusively rely on public charging, which currently serves only 5% of EVs. As EVs become more prevalent, the lack of extensive public charging can create a short-term demand-supply mismatch in specific city neighbourhoods, as well as preclude long-term growth in EV adoption. We believe that uberization of private garage chargers that are typically under-utilized during day-time can alleviate this problem. In this work, we examine how a charging service provider can match public charging demand with private suppliers while using a demand-response based pricing model. We base our study on real-world traffic patterns for the city of Luxembourg by augmenting the Luxembourg SUMO traffic scenario (LuST) simulator. Specifically, an EV's charging demand is modeled by a state machine with charge/discharge dynamics based on Tesla Model-S. Our preliminary results suggest that the proposed uberization strategy has the potential to gracefully handle demand spikes with higher revenue yield for a charging service provider, even while handling different categories of service users.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133174270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A way to achieve this is to decarbonize the electricity grid. However, further efforts must be made in other fields such as transport and heating for full decarbonization. This would reduce carbon emissions due to electricity generation, and also help to decarbonize other sources such as automotive and heating by enabling a low-carbon alternative. Carbon taxes have been shown to be an efficient way to aid in this transition. In this paper, we demonstrate how to to find optimal carbon tax policies through a genetic algorithm approach, using the electricity market agent-based model ElecSim. To achieve this, we use the NSGA-II genetic algorithm to minimize average electricity price and relative carbon intensity of the electricity mix. We demonstrate that it is possible to find a range of carbon taxes to suit differing objectives. Our results show that we are able to minimize electricity cost to below £10/MWh as well as carbon intensity to zero in every case. In terms of the optimal carbon tax strategy, we found that an increasing strategy between 2020 and 2035 was preferable. Each of the Pareto-front optimal tax strategies are at least above £81/tCO2 for every year. The mean carbon tax strategy was £240/tCO2.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"2 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134577744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the grid is seeing increasing deployments of clean, renewable sources of energy, a significant portion of the grid demand is still met using traditional carbon-intensive energy sources. In this paper, we study the problem of using energy storage deployed in the grid to reduce the grid's carbon emissions. While energy storage has previously been used for grid optimizations such as peak shaving and smoothing intermittent sources, our insight is to use distributed storage to enable utilities to reduce their reliance on their less efficient and most carbon-intensive power plants and thereby reduce their overall emission footprint. We formulate the problem of emission-aware scheduling of distributed energy storage as an optimization problem, and use a robust optimization approach that is well-suited for handling the uncertainty in load predictions, especially in the presence of intermittent renewables such as solar and wind. We evaluate our approach using a state of the art neural network load forecasting technique and real load traces from a distribution grid with 1,341 homes. Our results show a reduction of >0.5 million kg in annual carbon emissions --- equivalent to a drop of 23.3% in our electric grid emissions.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115890255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key component of battery-driven peak shaving optimizations is peak forecasting, which predicts the hours of the day that see the greatest demand. While there has been significant prior work on load forecasting, we argue that the problem of predicting periods where the demand peaks for individual consumers or micro-grids is more challenging than forecasting load at a grid scale. We propose a new model for peak forecasting, based on deep learning, that predicts the k hours of each day with the highest and lowest demand. We evaluate our approach using a two year trace from a real micro-grid of 156 buildings and show that it outperforms the state of the art load forecasting techniques adapted for peak predictions by 11--32%.

In this paper, we consider the problem of energy sharing between two such bundles, each associated with their own demand profiles. The demand profiles might, for example, correspond to commitments made by the bundle to the grid. With each bundle seeking to minimize its loss of load rate, we explore the possibility that one bundle can supply energy to the other from its battery at times of deficit, in return for a reciprocal supply from the other when it faces a deficit itself. We show that there always exist mutually beneficial energy sharing arrangements between the two bundles. Moreover, we show that Pareto-optimal arrangements involve at least one bundle transferring energy to the other at the maximum feasible rate at times of deficit. We illustrate the potential gains from such dynamic energy sharing via an extensive case study.","PeriodicalId":442966,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122819449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
