ICT EE context

• EU energy and environmental targets - Europe 2020, 2030 and 2050; European Energy Security Strategy

• Promoting digitalisation/Internet of Things, cloud computing, broadband connectivity, big data, etc.

• Promoting smart cities, smart grids, smart transport, smart homes/buildings to improve energy efficiency and climate

• Smartening is achieved via ICT …. but ICT itself consumes energy and has an environmental footprint

• The energy consumption of data centres and its relative part of the total to increase significantly in the coming years (from current ~60 TWh - above 2% of the total per year in Europe)

• This is happening despite all technological improvements by the ICT industry

What has been done what is ongoing

in ICT sustainability

A cooling system in a typical data centre consumes about 25-50% of the total power supply: - 23-28% by chiller - 7-15% by Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC) or Air Handlers (CRAH) - 3% by humidifiers (Rasmussen, 2011)

- IT and networking - need for permanent storage of data (24 hour availability)

What needs uptake and development non-exhaustive

• innovative and energy efficient cooling solutions

• geographical and temporal workload balance - DC as a flexible load (Balance grid, follow the RES)

• integration of local and remote renewable energy sources

• integration in smart grids

• waste heat reuse

• integration with district heating/cooling networks,

• use of heat pumps for efficient use of waste heat etc.

• Integration of power backup system in the grid

• Electrical and thermal storage

• Used car batteries as storage

• Business models to trade heat, cold, electricity or energy security and storage

• Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) & Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) expertise are called for as a baseline in a.o. the Societal Challenges and energy efficiency

Motivate & support change of consumers' behaviour, increase consumer understanding & engagement in energy efficiency

Consumers' involvement & empowerment

Socio-economic analysis/evidence for ICT investment, plans for sustainability, uptake

• ICT can help drive behavioural change by:

measuring, monitoring, allowing intelligent management and control

providing reliable data to governments, industries, citizens about energy consumption / carbon emissions

substituting physical products by virtual services

EE-12-2017: Integration of Demand Response in Energy Management Systems

while ensuring interoperability through Public Private Partnership (EeB PPP)

Pierre-Antoine Vernon, EASME B.1.1 Energy Efficiency Info Day 2017, 19 September 2016

EE-12-2017 Integration of Demand Response in Energy Management Systems while ensuring interoperability (EeB PPP)

Main objective: Integrate Demand Response (DR) into Energy Management Systems (EMS)

- Complement existing building energy management with an additional external dimension: DR

- Seamless integration of existing technologies of smart home devices, EMS and network operators

- Achieve interoperability across brands, technologies, standards


Demand Response

- DR: implicit rather than explicit

- DR: manage both energy demand and supply

Building occupants

- Involve and engage them in the DR solution

- Energy cost savings: help people save money

- Indoor environment: improve people's quality of life


Focus on building-level energy optimisation

- Energy – not just electricity consumption

- Residential or not – buildings in general

- building-level essential, district level a plus

- benefits for building occupants essential, benefits for the energy network a plus


Open standards for smart grids a plus

Proposals should involve building occupants, DSO, technology providers

Innovation Action, TRL 6-8 : seek to supply the market by integrating what is already there - no R&D!


Impact:

- Deployment of solutions allowing DR in buildings

- Real-time building energy management and DR

- High replicability across the EU

- Energy costs savings for consumers and system

- Improvement in quality of life

EE-20-2017: Bringing to market more energy efficient and integrated data centres

Pau Rey-García, EASME B.1.2 Energy Efficiency Info Day, 19 September 2016

EE-20-2017: Bringing to market more energy efficient and integrated data centres

The challenge

• demand for ICT processing is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, because of increasing demand for cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, dematerialization of documents and other ICT services;

• Need for data centres to become more energy efficient and maximise integration of renewable energy sources;

"Intermittent renewable energy sources need to be combined with energy storage (electricity or cold/heat) to ensure efficient and secure energy management in data centres. In addition, existing and new data centres should be better integrated into the various energy grids (electricity and/or heat) in order to turn their energy use and waste into a benefit for the whole energy system"

The scope

• Proposals should cover several following areas: innovative and energy efficient cooling solutions, waste heat reuse, geographical and temporal workload balance, integration of local and remote renewable energy sources, integration in smart grids, integration with district heating/cooling networks, integration of power backup system in the grid and use of heat pumps for efficient use of waste heat etc.;

• Proposals should include the development of business models to trade heat, cold, electricity or energy security and storage;

• Proposals should build upon the results of previous projects such as the ones funded under the FP7-Smartcities Call 2013 (namely RenewIT, DC4Cities, Dolfin, Genic, GreenDataNet, GEYSER);

• Proposals should focus on new and existing data centres (indicatively from 500 kW to 1 MW IT load).

Type of Action: Innovation Action

• Indicative budget for the topic in this call 2017: 6 M€

• EU Contribution 2.0 – 3.0 Mio EUR (does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts);

Expected Impact:

• Bring data centre specific innovative energy efficiency technologies and solutions, already developed by research projects, to market faster and cheaper;

• Reaching a Power Usage Effectiveness of up to 1.2;

• Achieve a high share of the data centre energy consumption covered by sustainable energy resources.

whenever possible, use quantified indicators and targets
