With “Mission to zero”, ABB is pursuing the vision of energy
self-sufficient and CO2-neutral industrial production*. For
this, renewable energies are linked with scalable energy
management solutions. In Ludenscheid, ABB has presented
the group's first almost climate-neutral production site to
the public in spring 2019 after a two-year planning and
construction phase.
Mission to Zero
Energy self-sufficient and CO2 neutral - the industrial production of the future
ABB Busch-Jaeger receives the German Solar Award 2019 in the category
"Industrial, commercial or agricultural businesses / companies" for the
"Mission to Zero" project. With this prize the association “Eurosolar and
EnergieAgentur.NRW” recognized ABB's first almost CO2-neutral production
site in Germany
* According to GHG protocol: scope 2 implemented; scope 1 and 3 under evaluation

First Neighborhood Battery Storage
Local Energy Community Oud Heverlee
The battery is storing the rest of the energy generated
by the the Solar panels of the customers up to 90kWh
and provide it back during peak moments.
The battery increases not only the efficienty of the PV
installation. The battery is also connected and support
the local grid that ran to it’s limits with the growing
investments in Heatpumps, EV and PV.
The investments in the Oud Heverlee Local Energy
community started already 10 years ago with the ZEHR
projects and after several updates now has led to the
battery storage

Statement on Energy Communities
Huge opportunity to speed-up the energy transition but ….
✓ Regulated market: respect of rules, complexity
✓ Mass market: large number of players
✓ Heterogeneity of players: citizens, municipalities, SME’s…
✓ Unclear business model
→ Challenge is to
✓ Hide to the participants the inherent complexity of Energy Communities
✓ Put at the EC disposal solution covering a large share of their IT needs
✓ Reducing the need of human intervention (automatization, cloud, pre-
parameterisation..) in order to diminish HR costs
✓ and being financially attractive
Starting points

Haulogy Assets
✓ Large experience with DSO and energy retailers
✓ Availability of modular applications
✓ Multiservice model: on premise, SaaS, BPO, …
✓ Proven capacity to deliver cost-efficient solution adapted to an emerging market
Starting points (2)
✓ Development of an exhaustive portfolio of solutions and services dedicated to
Energy Communities
✓ Solutions available on the cloud in a SaaS mode
✓ One-stop shopping concept : CERWAL
✓ Software license depends on the EC savings

What is a HEMS?
'A home energy management system is a technology platform comprised
of both hardware1 and software2 that allows the user to monitor energy
usage and production and to manually control and/or automate3 the
use of energy within a household.4'
(Source: Sustainable Now)

Part I: Hardware
Every HEMS has a central
component (Brain) which is
responsible for:
● Gathering all sensor data
● Creating a feedback loop
to control actuators
● Run the local software
stack

Part I: Hardware
● Brain+ module
○ 16 bi-stable 230V relays
○ 8 digital outputs
○ 5 digital inputs
○ 4 0-10V outputs
○ CAN-bus
○ P1 port
○ Ethernet port
○ RS485 expansion bus
■ Modbus
■ Bacnet
■ Profibus
■ ...

Part I: Hardware
● Slave module: Energy Module
○ Mono or 3-phase connection
○ 12 measurements
○ Detailed insights

Part I: Hardware
Big challenge with household appliances!
● Low adoption of smart household appliances due
to high cost and low offering at the moment.
● Controlling them with smart ( switched ) outlets
doesn't work well
● European initiatives started ( eg.
InterConnect/SAREF ontology) for better energy
interoperability.

Part I: Hardware
● Huge opportunity for energy storage

Part II: Software
Hardware is nothing without software…
Edge computing happens on the gateway / hub itself and is responsible to
● Connect the different assets
● Process low latency actions
● Buffer data for internet hiccups
● Make sure local control works without functional internet connection
Gateway plugins allow to extend local functionality
● Triggers on input/output/events
● Background processes
● Push custom metrics to the cloud
● Can be provided by 3th parties

Part III: Manually and/or automatic
● Manual
○ Giving insights
○ Raise awareness
○ Gives input for manual interactions
○ Send push notifications on certain events
○ Source for gamification

● Automatic
○ Energy flows became too difficult for manual interaction
○ Too much burden to always act as a result of a
notification
● Automate to
○ Lower the risk of overheating ( screens )
○ Align production vs consumption ( PV and DHW )
○ 15 minute peak shaving ( capacity rate )
○ Control assets in function of weather predictions ( Smart
scheduling of assets )

Part IV: Household
This is fine for residential units where all assets are privately controlled
BUT
what about shared assets?
PRIVATELY CONTROLLED ASSETS SHARED ASSETS

HEMS in a bigger picture
One brain in
every unit
Local Attached Assets:
● Connected Thermostat
● Lights
● Screens
● Ventilation
● Outlets
● ...

One central
brain in every
building
Centrally Attached Assets:
● Garage door
● Solar Panels
● Shared Battery
● Intercom
● Charing poles
● ...

An open Cloud platform allows:
● People to control or get insights in their individual AND collective controlled resources
● Either from home or remote

● Implementation of a CEMS instead of HEMS
○ This by combining centrally managed assets with privately managed assets
○ Centrally optimised assets with respect to individual comfort needs!
■ Eg. Centralised Screen control
■ Aligned heating curve
■ Helps for BREEAM

● Give the possibility for 3th parties to
○ Create custom dashboards using the metrics API's
○ Create invoices for the tenants based on measured utilities
○ Add extra services for further energy optimisations on a revenue share based model

● Support ESCO's
○ Create custom dashboards for assets in shared and individual spaces
○ Optimise central energy source ( align the energy householding)
○ Give insights of centrally measured consumption to the end users.

(H/C)EMS and LEC go hand in hand!
SHARED (HAPPY) ASSETS
