Energy Efficiency for European Sport Facilities

ICT for the intelligent Energy Management of Sport Facilities SportE2 - Contract 260124 2

Andrea Cavallaro Sporte2 project in the framework of EeB PPP for enhancing the energy efficiency in buildings


• SportE2 develops an approach, methodology, and technologies dedicated to energy savings in sport facilities

• The project is financed by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme in the Area ICT for energy-efficient buildings and spaces of public use

The Energy Efficient Building PPP


Sport facilities consume massive amounts of energy and there are a lot of them in Europe Some of these structures are very exciting

FACILITIES

Also, sports facilities are unique:

• In their energy demand profiles (timing and peaks) • Usage patterns (long periods of low use and then short periods of high use sporting

event) • Comfort and ventilation requirements • Facility characteristics (e.g. swimming pools, indoor courts, saunas) • In how they are owned and managed (public and private) • They can encompass large open spaces (multiple buildings,

complexes, parking areas, lighting, etc.)

Main Ideas & Motivation


Concept (1/4) - Smart Metering

Provides the capability for owners and managers to understand how energy is being consumed by the facility. If we want to make better energy management decisions then better information is required. To have and make use of this type of information the following are required: a sensor network, communication capabilities, a database, data processing, data management, and a way to access and interact with the information.

Smart Metering


Integrated Control

Provides facilities with integrated control capabilities. In specific, this module will provide the software, hardware, and user interface that enables the control and management of lighting, heating, cooling, indoor air quality and ventilation, co-generation, and renewable energy production. Paired with smart metering system, it becomes possible to enact energy management decisions from a centralised location when there is a data-supported reason to do so.

Concept (2/4) – Integrated Control


Given smart metering data and the ability to control facility energy flows, it becomes possible to execute optimal energy management decisions. Over time and as data is collected, the SportE2 system will learn how a facility is operating, why current practices are not optimal, and what control actions will lead to energy savings, looking at energy prices, weather forecasting, and the planned facility usage.

Optimisation

Concept (3/4) – (near) Real Time Optimization


Many stakeholders own or manage more than one facility or perhaps a complex is made of multiple buildings. For these users, the SportE2 system will provide a multi-facility management tool that will collect, analyse, and display energy demands, consumption, production, and grid exchange across multiple facilities against common metrics (e.g. kWh/m, €/m , kg CO2, etc).

Multi-Facility Management

Concept (4/4) - Multi-Facility Benchmarking Management System


Visualise energy consumption profiles, to include when energy is consumed Identify trends that don’t make sense which may be a function of non optimal operation or poorly

maintained equipment

Determine if your energy contract is right for you Control your facility from one central station

Implement manual or automatic control actions Develop intelligent decision making strategies. If it will rain tomorrow or if the facility will be

empty or full should you be doing something different?

Develop alert conditions and alert avoidance strategies

Optimise facility energy management decisions

Benchmark against past performance or other structures

Develop facility specific performance indicators

View and manage multiple facilities from one central station

Save energy, reduce emissions, save money, save time

Biomass Co-Generation System (35KW) Solar Thermal Panels with a total area 40m2 (annual production of 25000KWh) Co-Generation Diesel plant (60KW) The Co-Generation Diesel plant was selling energy on the grid in the past. Actually this ability is not used for economic and contractual reason but it is possible to re-activate this energy exchange as soon the Italian regulation will return convenient


Olympic Pool (indoor) – size: 50m x 25m, depth: 1,20 to 1,80, Capacity: 1650m3 Learning Pool (indoor) – size: 20m x 6 m, depth: 1,1m, Capacity: 132 m3 2 Gyms (indoor) with one provided of electric equipment (electric bicycles, etc…)

2 boilers fuelled with natural gas (1070KW each) Co-Generation System fuelled with natural gas (130KW) Solar Thermal Panels with total area of 32 m2 (annual production of 22500 KWh)

According to the Portuguese legislation applied to these specific case (Co-Generation Production and Selling) it has been determined that it can be injected to the electric grid a total of 50% of the total annual electric production. The others 50% are for the consumption of the installation in study.
