  1. Estimation of Energy Savings in Residential Settings by Use of Smart Appliances David Shin Mentor: Professor S. Shivendu Collaborator: Sumit Deo

  2. The Research • Investigate smart appliances and smart meters • Examine the behavior patterns of residents • Survey (1-20 questions) • Understand the processes that manage electrical usage

  3. Purpose • To find out if usage of a smart appliances contributes to solving California’s energy infrastructure problem • Determine the effectiveness of smart meters specifically in raising energy consciousness and diminishing electrical costs

  4. Iso-Energy-Efficient Sphere Any point on the surface will have same energy‐efficiency Behavioral Factors Usage Patterns Energy Consciousness Technical Factors Engineering Design Technical Specifications Managerial Factors Distribution of load Energy Sourcing and Flow The Iso Energy-Efficient Surface

  5. What exactly is a Smart Meter? • Electric meter • Energy consumption • Telemetering • Smart Profile

  6. What are Smart Appliances? • Electricity information • Utility Signals • Emergency situations • Data from U.S. Association of Home Appliance Manufactures (AHAM)

  7. What are Smart Appliances? part 2 • Energy Usage Profile • Power usage at optimal time Data from U.S. Association of Home Appliance Manufactures (AHAM) Courtesy of GE

  8. Sample Survey Result - I

  9. Sample Survey Result - II

  10. Conclusions • Conducted residents save energy through: • Fluorescent light bulbs • Proper refrigerator settings • However, two important factors that stifle the energy efficiency in Southern California • Lack of smart appliances (Ex: use of outdated refrigerator model) • Inadequate energy consciousness (Ex: vampire power )
