Celes - Enabling Demand Side Response

该项目将采用一种概念——Celes——并将其转化为有用的预生产原型。Celes是一种用于测量和控制用电的家用设备，主要用于对时间不敏感的应用（“可控负载”），如车辆充电、电加热和电冷却。Celes将展示发电、进出口和房屋消费情况。将显示家庭和关键负载的消耗量。它还将自动决定打开或关闭哪些负载。对于拥有可再生能源的家庭来说，这将有助于使发电量与消费量相匹配。对于其他家庭来说，这将有助于利用低成本关税（例如车辆充电）并控制家庭用电量。对于整个国家来说，这将有助于将可再生能源的可变供应与Celes控制的需求相匹配。

The project is to take a concept - Celes - and turn it into a useful pre-production prototype.Celes is a device for the home that will measure and control electricity usage - mainly for time insensitive application ("controllable loads"), such as vehicle charging, electric heating and electric cooling.Celes will show electricity generation, imports and exports, and consumption in the house. Consumption will be shown for the home, and for key loads. It will also make automated decisions on which loads to turn on or off.For homes with renewables it will help to match generation to consumption. For other homes it will help to exploit low cost tariffs (e.g. for vehicle charging) and to control electricity usage in the home. For the country as a whole, it will help to match variable supply from renewables with demand, controlled by Celes.
