Abstract

In this paper, authors share preliminary findings from TABEDE (Towards Buildings Ready for Demand Response), an innovative, 3-year Horizon 2020 R&D program that aims to scale Demand Response (DR) across all building types. The key element to TABEDE is a Building Management System-Extender (BMS-E) that can either connect remotely to a site's existing BMS to deliver DR capabilities or be installed on site. It will control and optimize building loads directly in response to grid signals. TABEDE includes components that forecast and optimize energy consumption, incorporate DR requests, and control loads across a range of communication protocols. A distinguishing feature of TABEDE is that the solution is being tested in real-world settings at three pilot sites (two residential and one tertiary building), and one simulated district environment. This paper shares preliminary results from the project that show, under certain conditions, energy cost savings of between 6% and 8% are possible at the two residential test sites with TABEDE installed, while widespread implementation of TABEDE at the neighborhood level could increase self-consumption of solar photovoltaic (PV) and mitigate the risk of renewables curtailment.
