- Title: Collection, aggregation and analysis of real-time or near real-time data from appliance level consumption devices.
- Description: This use case aims to utilize the flexibility and intelligence in the low-voltage demand and local supply side infrastructure to create increased regulation capacity and reserve power in the centralized power grid by extending the means to effectively and securely manage and control the demand and supply within defined boundaries. This is achieved by collecting, aggregating and analyzing real-time or near real-time data from appliance level consumption devices such as appliances, smart home devices, sensors and actuators and smart meters, via an independent data communication network. The data analysis then provide real-time consumption data on type of devices and location together with short term forecasts (up to 4 hours).
- Data Domain(s): Building Products (and Geometry), Building Devices, Building Behavior, Building Control, Energy
- Objectives: Provide an energy management and control platform that allows energy providers (Distribution System Operators or Retailers) to measure and balance load in the low-voltage grid and thereby prevent or reduce critical peak situations.
- Stakeholders: Homeowners, Smart grids, Smart Cities, DSO’s
- LD benefits:
- Household device energy usage and owner behaviors
- Reliable device level data setsd
