Energy Use in Commercial Buildings The way energy is used in a commercial buildings has a large ef-fect on energy efficiency strategies. The most important energy end-use across the stock of commercial buildings is lighting, which accounts for one-quarter of total primary energy use.

Heating and cooling are next in importance, each with about one-seventh of the total. Equal in magnitude—though not well-defined by the U.S. DOE Energy Information Administration—is an aggregate category of miscellaneous “other uses,” such as service station equipment, ATM machines, medical equipment and telecommunications equipment. Ventilation uses another 7% of energy, making HVAC as a whole the largest user of en-ergy in commercial buildings at nearly 32%.

Water heating and office equipment (not counting personal computers) use similar amounts of energy (6%–7.5%), and re-frigeration, computer use and cooking consuming the least.

Energy Use in Residential Buildings Space heating comprises the largest energy use in a home, at one quarter—almost twice any other end use. Space cooling, water heating and lighting all use roughly the same percentage of energy in a home (12%–13%), followed by another set of uses —electronics, refrigeration and wet cleaning—sharing similar lev-els of use from 6% to 8%.

Motivation Modeling Multi-Market Multi-Building Portfolio Conclusions

Challenges with Transition

Electric grid primarily developed around predictable generation.

Majority of future renewables is likely wind and solar.

Wind and solar variability makes scheduling resources difficult [18].

Improper integration of large quantities of variable generation [11]:

power quality issuespower flow imbalancesgrid stability issues

Solutions

Grid Storage: pumped-hydro, compressed air, batteries

Demand Response: modulation of HVAC, deferrable loads

NREL: demand response and load participation critical in achievinghigher penetrations of variable resources [10].

Motivation Modeling Multi-Market Multi-Building Portfolio Conclusions

Electricity System Overview

Continuously balance supply and demand

Diurnal load patterns caused by human activity and weather effects

Day-ahead energy market involves least-cost scheduling of base load,load following, and peaking plants → time dependent energy price

Ancillary services: frequency regulation, voltage control, and reserves

Co-optimization presents significant challenges for loads supplying ancillary services and especially spinning reserve. As discussed above, a critical reason some loads are better suited to supplying spinning reserve rather than peak reduction is because load response duration is limited. Co-optimization can extend the response duration unacceptably and force the load to withdraw from the market, harming power system reliability.

Co-optimization (also called joint optimization, simultaneous optimization, or rational buying) minimizes the total cost of energy, regulation, and contingency reserves by allowing the substitution of “higher value” services for “lower value” services. If a generator offers spinning reserve at $8/MW-hr, for example, and other generators are offering replacement reserve at $12/MW-hr the co-optimizer will use the spinning reserve resource for replacement reserve (instead of the replacement reserve offered) and pay it the spinning reserve clearing price. Co-optimization has many benefits. It encourages generators to bid in with their actual costs for energy and each of the ancillary services. When they do so the co-optimizer is able to simultaneously minimize overall system costs and maximize individual generator profits.

Unfortunately, co-optimization can effectively bar responsive loads as well as emissions-limited generators and water-limited hydro generators from offering to provide ancillary services.

Fundamentally the problem is that the co-optimizer is unable to deal with a rising cost curve. Many responsive loads differ from most generators in that the cost of response rises with response duration. An air conditioning load, for example, incurs almost no cost when it provides a ten minute interruption but incurs unacceptable costs when it provides a six hour interruption. Conversely a generator typically incurs startup and shutdown costs even for short responses but only has ongoing fuel costs associated with its response duration. In fact, many generators have minimum run times and minimum shutdown times. This low-cost-for-short-duration-response (coupled with fast response speed) makes some responsive loads ideal for providing spinning reserve but less well suited for providing energy response or peak reduction. A generator benefits economically when response duration is extended but a load is hurt. The co-optimizer assumes that all offering entities behave like generators and benefit from longer response.

Unfortunately current market rules in New York and New England let the ISOs dispatch capacity assigned to reserves for economic reasons as well as reliability purposes. As long as the ISO has enough spinning and non-spinning reserve capacity to cover contingencies, it will dispatch any remaining resources economically regardless of whether that capacity is labeled as contingency reserve or not. Ancillary service and energy suppliers are automatically co-optimized.

This policy works well for most generators but causes severe problems for loads that need to limit the duration or frequency of their response to occasional contingency conditions. Loads can submit very high energy bids in an

attempt to be the last resource called but this is still no guarantee that they will not be used as a multi-hour energy resource. Submitting a high cost energy bid also means that the load will be used less frequently for contingency response than is economically optimal. Price caps on energy bids further limit the ability of the loads to control how long they are deployed for.

Fortunately there is a simple solution. California had this problem with their rational buyer but changed their market rules and now allows resources to flag themselves as available for contingency response only. PJM allows resources to establish different prices for each service and energy providing a partial solution. ERCOT does not have the problem because most energy is supplied through bilateral arrangements that the ISO is not part of; energy and ancillary service markets are separate. Possibly as a consequence half of ERCOT’s contingency response comes from responsive load (the maximum currently allowed) while no loads offer to supply balancing energy.

B. Some Loads May Be Able To Provide Better Regulation Than Generators

Regulation, the minute-to-minute varying of generation or consumption at the system operator’s command in order to maintain the control area’s generation/load balance, is the most difficult ancillary service for loads to provide. Automatic generation control (AGC) commands are typically sent from the system operator to the regulating generators about every four seconds (Figure 6). Regulation is also the most expensive ancillary service so it may be the most attractive service to sell for loads that are capable of supplying it.

Fig. 6. Regulation provides the minute-to-minute balancing of generation and load.

Some loads may have the inherent capability to provide

regulation. Loads that are electronically controlled potentially could follow automatic generation control commands. Loads with large adjustable speed drives or solid state power supplies are candidates. Product quality must be independent of the rate of electricity consumption to allow the power system operator to adjust the load’s consumption. Energy efficiency can be impacted by the rate of electricity consumption. Efficiency reductions simply impact the cost of

3. Regulation

Regulation and load following (which, in competitive spot markets, are provided by the intra-hour workings of the real-time energy market) are the two services required to continuously balance generation and load under normal conditions (Kirby and Hirst 2000). Figure 4 shows the morning ramp-up decomposed into base energy, load following, and regulation. Starting at a base energy of 3566 MW, the smooth load following ramp is shown rising to 4035 MW. Regulation consists of the rapid fluctuations in load around the underlying trend, shown here on an expanded scale to the right with a ±55 MW range. Combined, the three elements serve a load that ranges from 3539 to 4079 MW during the three hours depicted. In the PJM region, New York, New England, and Ontario, regulation is a 5-min service, defined as five times the ramp rate in megawatts per minute. In Texas it is a 15-min service, and in Alberta and California it is a 10-min service. Load following and regulation ensure that, under normal operating conditions, a control area is able to balance generation and load. Regulation is the use of on-line generation, storage, or load that is equipped with automatic generation control (AGC) and that can change output quickly (MW/min) to track the moment-to-moment fluctuations in customer loads and to correct for the unintended fluctuations in generation. Regulation helps to maintain interconnection frequency, manage differences between actual and scheduled power flows between control areas, and match generation to load within the control area. Load following is the use of on-line generation, storage, or load equipment to track the intra- and inter-hour changes in customer loads. Regulation and load following characteristics are summarized in Table 2.

Building-to-Grid Integration

Passive thermal storage can buffer varied HVAC operation

Optimize thermal storage operation around energy prices

Buildings can potentially supply ancillary services to the grid:

flexible loads may be more accurate, reliable, and prompt [14].potential benefits [13]:

increased system reliabilityrisk managementreduced environmental emissionsmarket power mitigationincreased system efficiencies

Optimize operations around ancillary services

Which takes priority?

co-optimize participation in energy and ancillary service markets.determine strategies that balance the severity of grid needs with thedesire for lower utility bills

Motivation Modeling Multi-Market Multi-Building Portfolio Conclusions

Optimal Control of Building Portfolios

Past work has evaluated optimal building control from an individualperspective.

Buildings are connected to the same grid.

Individual perspective may be suboptimal.

By giving the optimizer the knowledge of all unique buildingcharacteristics available within a portfolio of buildings, variousfeatures may be exploited to orchestrate an optimal combinedoperation of all portfolio members.

Hypothesis:

Diversity among building characteristics and operations creates anopportunity for synergy.

Conclusions

Motivation Modeling Multi-Market Multi-Building Portfolio Conclusions

got synergy?

What was the nature of observed synergistic effect?

1 Synergy was dependent on individual building opt. conditions

2 Synergy was dependent on portfolio construction

3 Synergy was dependent on grid market design (i.e. demand charge)

Motivation Modeling Multi-Market Multi-Building Portfolio Conclusions

Contributions to Building-to-Grid Integration

1 Model-based method for estimating commercial building frequencyregulation capability

2 Thermal mass optimization considering ancillary service revenueopportunities along with energy price and demand

3 Centralized building portfolio optimization approach

4 Identified several opportunities for synergy among portfolios
