Demand Response Technology Readiness Levels

   DRTRLs to measure the technological readiness of a block of
    buildings to participate in a building-stock oriented DR program
   Borrows from the TRL concept developed by NASA in the early 70s.
    Essentially TRLs provide a “discipline-independent, program
    figure of merit (FOM) to allow more effective assessment of, and
    communication regarding the maturity of new technologies”.
   Provides a scale which a facilities manager or building owner can
    use to conduct a technology readiness assessment (TRA) of the
    current energy and communications systems at their site, or sites,
    to support their decision to implement the DR-BoB energy
    management solution.

                                                                         Slide 6

 communication systems
      includes metering & telemetry flexible load local energy
      generation & energy storage plant
               refers to time
     i.e. ready for operations at the present time
        refers to the extent of the capability of a block of
 buildings to take part in the DR-BoB energy management
 solution
                     refers to a group of buildings that may
 or may not be in proximity to each other if under
 common governance

Introduction DR-BOB project - Dr Tracey Crosbie - Build Up
   DRTRL-0 no capability
        a building/site does not have the technical capacity to enable the implementation
        of the DR-BoB solution
   DRTRL-1 manual capability
       a building/site has flexibility and can be controlled in a manual capacity by facility
        managers or end consumers making a direct intervention to apply control signals
        typically based on a recommendation notification such as an email
   DRTRL-2 partially automated capability
       a building/site has the minimum technology required to partially enable some of
        the automated functioning of the DR-BoB energy management solution by directly
        responding to tele-command signals without manual intervention, but will still
        require manual intervention for the remaining functionality;
   DRTRL-3 full automated capability
        a building/site has the technologies required to fully enable all of the automated
        functioning of the DR-BoB energy management solution through tele-command
        signals, without requiring manual application of control.

The UK pilot site
   The UK demonstration site of DR-BOB
    is part of the Teesside University
    main campus in Middlesbrough, North
    East of England.
   The main campus situated just
    outside Middlesbrough town centre
    and occupies an area approximately
    of three hectares.
   The main campus is based on 33
    separate buildings, 5 of which are
    residential town houses/halls for the
    students.
   Term-time occupancy is
    approximately 22,000.

     SCENARIO 2 – DER (DTU in UK market)
    Event: During the summer months based on historical data
    Maximum expected impact, kW: approx. 220 kW (CHP)
    Number of Events per year: 4
    DR Programme: DER (DTU in UK Market)

     SCENARIO 3B – Electric peak demand reduction (implicit)
    Preferred Schedule: 9:00 to 10:00
    Maximum expected impact, kW: 12 kW
    Number of Events per year: 12
    DR Programme: DUoS (Distribution Use of System) charges in UK market

     SCENARIO 4 – Frequency regulation / emergency load shedding
    Number of Events per year: random (Poisson), mean of 10/year.
    DR Programme: Decentralised FD/AS (FCDM in UK Market)

Main lessons learned
   Demand Response TRL shifted from 1 to 3 in order to
    enable the demonstrations;

   5 DR scenarios were implemented, ranging from manual
    response scenarios (TRIAD) to fast-acting automatic
    control scenarios (FFR).

   Demand shifting/demand reduction has been recorded in
    response to each of the generated DR events. Statistical
    analysis is needed to fully gauge effectiveness/depth and
    economic benefits of the solution architecture…

Main lessons learned
   Buildings need to be highly instrumented to participate into
    DR programs
   Buildings should be equipped with Building Management
    Systems to allow monitoring of building’ assets during DR
    events
   Blocks of small office buildings can participate into CPP
    (Critical Peak Pricing), Capacity Bidding, DLC (Direct Load
    Control) and DER (Distributed Energy Resources) programs
   Blocks of small office buildings can’t participate into Fast DR
    Dispatch/Ancillary Services programs requiring a very fast
    (even immediate) manual action on building assets
   Building managers should be notified about incoming events at
    least 24 hours before event begins
   Engagement of occupants into energy shifting actions depend
    from the local context of building

Before the DR-BOB project only a BMS was installed but during the project:
    •   Power meters were installed and data is collectet to a energy monitoring SW
    •   Data is transfer every 15min to the LEM (ftp server)
    •   Energy baseline was created and DR action are evaluated

Main lessons learned

   The more people involved the less the power reduction is
    predictable and replicable;

   A full automation in the control of HVAC systems by a
    BMS makes the DR more effective;

   The design of the plant architecture (hydraulic and
    aeraulic circuits) and machine (chiller and boilers) can
    help to reach better results in energy reduction.
