项目摘要

The concept of Community Energy involves integrating small-scale solar power, demand management and energy storage at the community level to create economic, environmental and social value for individuals and communities while improving the reliability and resilience of the electric grid. While this concept has great potential benefits, it raises a number of conceptual issues that must be addressed to realize its potential. These include: (1) How economic and behavioral incentives are perceived and valued in a community context and whether these differ from the perceptions and values of individual energy users; (2) How residents and other stakeholders will perceive such a project and what factors affect their acceptance and participation; (3) How highly granular data can be analyzed, visualized, and communicated to encourage acceptance and facilitate participation in a Community Energy program. To address these issues, this planning project brings together residents and stakeholders in the Mueller community of Austin, Texas, to create knowledge and tools to develop a Community Energy program that will serve as a model for other communities across the U.S. Planning and developing such a project will engage residents and stakeholders at each stage to maximize the probability of success. The results of the research will be published in academic, policy and practitioner outlets, and the data analysis and visualization tools will be distributed freely to researchers, policymakers and practitioners. The planning project will support and train graduate students at Syracuse University in research methods that integrate social science and data science in an active research setting.There is an urgent need to improve the reliability and resilience of the electric grid and to integrate new technologies such as rooftop solar, battery storage and electric vehicles. These technologies can strain an aging grid that was not designed to handle them, but if managed properly can actually provide valuable resources to the grid such as demand response and load shifting. These benefits are greater if aggregated at the community level. However, this requires gaining the understanding and participation of community members and developing tools to analyze, visualize and communicate large, heterogeneous datasets to a variety of stakeholders. This multidisciplinary, integrative project addresses these issues through (1) identifying and engaging key community stakeholders, (2) conducting community workshops and implementing a survey of community members in the Mueller neighborhood (3) developing data analytics, visualization and communication tools that integrate data on electricity use, weather, and location factors, in consultation with targeted stakeholders and community members, and (4) developing a full proposal to implement the Community Energy program in the Mueller community. The project involves collaboration with the Pecan Street Institute in Austin, which collects detailed household electricity data on over 300 homes in the Mueller neighborhood and has well-established relationships with residents, local government, developers and the local business community.

社区能源的概念涉及在社区层面整合小规模太阳能发电、需求管理和能源储存，为个人和社区创造经济、环境和社会价值，同时提高电网的可靠性和弹性。虽然这一概念有很大的潜在好处，但它提出了一些必须解决的概念问题，以实现其潜力。其中包括：（1）在社区环境中，经济和行为激励措施如何被感知和评估，以及这些激励措施是否与个人能源用户的感知和价值观不同;（2）居民和其他利益相关者将如何感知这样的项目，以及哪些因素影响他们的接受和参与;（3）如何分析、可视化和传达高度粒度的数据，以鼓励接受并促进参与社区能源计划。为了解决这些问题，该规划项目汇集了德克萨斯州奥斯汀市穆勒社区的居民和利益相关者，以创造知识和工具来开发社区能源计划，该计划将作为美国其他社区的典范。研究结果将在学术界、政策界和从业人员的媒体上发表，数据分析和可视化工具将免费分发给研究人员、决策者和从业人员。该规划项目将支持和培训锡拉丘兹大学的研究生，使他们掌握在活跃的研究环境中整合社会科学和数据科学的研究方法。迫切需要提高电网的可靠性和复原力，并整合屋顶太阳能、电池存储和电动汽车等新技术。这些技术可能会使老化的网格不堪重负，而这些网格的设计初衷并不是处理这些技术，但如果管理得当，实际上可以为网格提供有价值的资源，比如需求响应和负载转移。如果在社区一级进行汇总，这些惠益会更大。然而，这需要获得社区成员的理解和参与，并开发工具来分析，可视化和向各种利益相关者传达大型异构数据集。这个多学科的综合项目通过以下方式解决这些问题：（1）确定和吸引关键的社区利益相关者，（2）举办社区研讨会，并对Mueller社区的社区成员进行调查（3）开发数据分析，可视化和通信工具，整合用电，天气和位置因素的数据，与目标利益相关者和社区成员协商，以及（4）制定一个完整的建议，在穆勒社区实施社区能源计划。该项目涉及与奥斯汀山核桃街研究所的合作，该研究所收集了穆勒社区300多个家庭的详细家庭用电数据，并与居民、当地政府、开发商和当地商界建立了良好的关系。
