项目摘要

The UK is investing £11 billion installing 53 million smart electricity and gas meters in domestic and small non-domestic properties by 2020. The ability to access reliable, high-resolution gas and electricity energy data at a national scale has the potential to revolutionise research into how we use energy in our buildings. Currently the best available domestic energy data is estimated annual consumption from infrequent and often estimated meter readings by utilities. This data has, over the last five years, been used by researchers and government to help assess the effectiveness of energy efficient technologies and help plan for a low carbon energy system. The introduction of smart meters offers the potential to examine more reliable gas and electricity data collected at least every half hour which offers great opportunities for researchers. It can help develop better methods of disaggregating energy use by appliance; produce more reliable energy labels at lower costs; help identify fuel-poor households; facilitate demand side response to help balance the electricity grid; help identify the most appropriate energy efficiency measures for a property; produce new products and services for consumers; and develop more appropriate policies for government. One of the strengths of the UK Smart Meter programme is that energy consumers own their own data. This means that nobody, not even utilities, will automatically get access to all smart meter data, and nobody will store everybody's half hourly data. Only if consent is provided by home owners can half hourly data be accessed, and then only via a highly secure gateway. While this appropriately prioritises customers' rights and security, it means that it will be much more difficult for individual researchers to access future energy data. This proposal is to provide the UK research community with a shared SMART METER RESEARCH PORTAL (SMRP) to access smart meter data (thereby saving considerable time and money) and to establish a world leading research programme using the this data. This research will be facilitated by linking smart meter data to data collected as part of national surveys, field trials, or administrative data within the highly secure UK Data Archive. For example, the UK has an annual English Housing Survey which collects information about the size and theoretical energy efficiency of buildings as well as information about the occupants. Attaching a consent form to this, would allow theoretical energy use to be linked to actual energy use, which in turn would provide the potential to improve energy models such as the National Household Model. Without a shared portal academics and government would need to build their own mechanism of accessing smart meter data at an estimated cost of £1-2m to meet the security and ethical requirements. This would prevent smaller projects, such as a few hundred house field trail of a new energy efficient technology, from being undertaken. This is because, they would have to install their own meters or read meters manually, making such projects more costly and difficult to recruit participants. In addition, many projects would double the time required for monitoring. Smart meters store data from the previous 13 months, this means that a project assessing the impact of a heating technology does not need to monitor energy use prior to the installation of the new technology. Thereby potentially saving a year of time for many research projects. This means that once the portal has been built and demonstrated to work efficiently via a sample of research projects. The relatively low future annual running costs (£300-400k) can be met by individual research projects being charged a fixed cost for the SMRP service of obtaining, linking and pre-processing data in a secure and ethical way, thereby allowing academics to focus on their research.

英国将投资 110 亿英镑，到 2020 年在住宅和小型非住宅物业安装 5300 万个智能电表和燃气表。在全国范围内获取可靠、高分辨率的燃气和电力能源数据的能力有可能彻底改变研究目前，最好的国内能源数据是通过公用事业公司不频繁且经常估算的仪表读数来估算的年度消耗量，在过去五年中，研究人员和政府已使用该数据来帮助评估能源消耗。的有效性节能技术并帮助规划低碳能源系统。智能电表的引入提供了检查至少每半小时收集的更可靠的天然气和电力数据的潜力，这为研究人员提供了绝佳的机会，可以帮助开发更好的分解方法。电器的能源使用；以更低的成本制作更可靠的能源标签；帮助促进需求侧响应，以帮助平衡电网；消费者；并为政府制定更合适的政策。英国智能电表计划的优势在于能源消费者拥有自己的数据，这意味着任何人，甚至公用事业公司，都不会自动访问所有智能电表数据，并且只有在获得同意的情况下，才会存储每个人的半小时数据。房主只能通过高度安全的网关访问半小时的数据，虽然这适当地优先考虑了客户的权利和安全，但这意味着个人研究人员访问未来的能源数据将变得更加困难。为英国研究界提供共享的 SMART电表研究门户网站（SMRP）访问智能电表数据（从而节省大量时间和金钱）并利用这些数据建立世界领先的研究计划。通过将智能电表数据与国家调查收集的数据联系起来，将促进这项研究。例如，英国每年都会进行一次英国住房调查，收集有关建筑物的规模和理论能源效率的信息以及有关居住者的信息。对此，将允许理论能源使用与实际能源使用联系起来，这反过来又将为改进能源模型（例如国家家庭模型）提供潜力，如果没有共享门户，学者和政府将需要建立自己的访问智能电表数据的机制。满足安全和道德要求的估计成本为 1-200 万英镑，这将阻止较小的项目（例如新节能技术的数百个房屋的现场试验）的实施，因为他们必须安装。他们自己的电表或手动抄表，使得此类项目成本更高此外，许多项目需要将智能电表存储过去 13 个月的数据所需的时间加倍，这意味着评估供暖技术影响的项目不需要在实施之前监控能源使用情况。新技术的安装可能会为许多研究项目节省一年的时间，这意味着一旦门户网站建成并通过研究项目样本证明可以有效运行，未来的年度运行成本就会相对较低（300 英镑）。 400k）可以通过单独的研究项目来满足SMRP 服务收取固定费用，以安全且合乎道德的方式获取、链接和预处理数据，从而使学者能够专注于他们的研究。
