Industry Profile - Jeff Hamilton (Ingersoll Rand/Trane) 5.1 Smart Energy Network Task Force (Send TF) 

Hugo Schotman (Canadian Gas Association), Evgueniy Entchev (Natural Resources Canada)

The Smart Energy Network (SEN) concept builds on the Smart Grid concept, but extends it by optimizing the integration of all available energy sources, including electricity, natural gas and thermal, within a cluster of residential and 

commercial buildings. A SEN uses advanced ICT to deliver the most efficient end-user energy services, while integrating distributed energy and renewables, and relieving electric grid congestion by conversion and storage of energy.  5.2 EMerge Alliance - Brian Patterson (EMerge Alliance)

An open industry association developing standards leading to the  rapid adoption of DC power distribution in commercial buildings.

These innovative standards integrate interior infrastructures, power, controls and devices in a common microgrid platform to facilitate the hybrid use of AC  and DC power throughout buildings for unprecedented design and space  flexibility, greater energy efficiency and improved sustainability.  For more  information go to:  http://www.emergealliance.org/Home.aspx 

Smart Energy Network Deployment Task Force (SEND TF)CABA Intelligent & Integrated Building Council (IIBC)28 October 2014   

Hugo Schotman & Evguenly Entchev (co-chairs SEND TF)

a Smart Energy Network…

• … is an extension of a Smart Grid by optimizing the use of all available energy sources (electricity, natural gas and thermal, renewable and non-renewable).

• … integrates the energy sources at a building (residential/commercial) to community level

• … is expected to deliver end-user energy services in a more affordable, reliable and sustainable way, creating a more efficient and resilient energy system

• … addresses electric grid congestion through the use of conversion and storage of energy, and multifunctional/multifuel end-use devices.

SEND TF

• Goal: “To advance the deployment of SENs and its key components, by realizing one or more SEN demonstration projects by the end of 2016.”

• Members: Natural Resource Canada (NRCan) / CanmetENERGY, Canadian Gas Association (CGA), Canadian Electricity Association (CEA), National Research Council (NRC), Union Gas, University of Waterloo / Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE), University of Toronto, Quality Urban Energy Systems of Tomorrow (QUEST), Energy Technology and Innovations Canada (ETIC) and Continental Automated Building Association (CABA) 

Scope of the SEND TF

Phases of the SEND TF Plan

Phase I is underway

• Modeling will tell us which components:

• are expected to have a positive contribution to a SEN in terms of cost, emissions and efficiency

• should be considered for Phase II Lab Testing

• Dedicated post-doctoral fellow

• under supervision of WISE and CanmetENERGY

• supported by Union Gas, CGA and MITACS

Phase II is starting soon

• Plan for Lab Testing with activities, budget and equipment requirements is available

• Budget and in-kind contributions are partly secured

• Seeking additional non-binding financial and in-kind equipment contributions (e.g. electrolyzer, fuel cells, control and ICT equipment)

Join the SEND TF

• Benefits:

• Opportunity to showcase technology 

• Be recognized as a Key Contributor 

• Preferred supplier for demonstration projects

• To express you interest or for any questions, please contact Hugo Schotman (co-chair & project manager SEND TF)
