AIM Project Objectives
Main project goal To define a generic technology for managing the energy
consumption of home appliances
Detailed objectives Management of the energy consumption of home appliances
beyond the simple ON/OFF model Design of a generic method for measuring energy consumption Design of an energy resources virtualisation environment for
building energy management services. Application of energy saving strategies Evaluation of the AIM technology with involvement of real users Dissemination of AIM technology to relevant standardization
bodies and the scientific community.
Dr. H. Hrasnica, AIM project: ICT21-EE – ICT for Energy Efficiency, Strasbourg, 11 December 2009 4
Considered Appliances
White goods Washing machine Dish washer Oven
A/V equipment TV, home cinema Set-up box
Communications equipment DECT phone Routers (e.g. WLAN)
Generic approach – to include further appliances E.g. lighting, heating, air conditioning, …
Dr. H. Hrasnica, AIM project: ICT21-EE – ICT for Energy Efficiency, Strasbourg, 11 December 2009 5
Applications for Various User Groups
Residential users Application for energy saving Reduction of related costs Improvement of Quality of Life (QoL)
Network subscribers and operators Remote control of appliances Services for energy saving
Power distribution network operators Metering and related services
Dr. H. Hrasnica, AIM project: ICT21-EE – ICT for Energy Efficiency, Strasbourg, 11 December 2009 6
Just Few Use Case Examples
Leaving the household Lighting, TV, and WLAN router off/sleep-mode
Delayed washing machine start Depending on day-time power costs According to a chosen washing programme
Remote energy management Through web interface and mobile devices
Energy consumption optimisation E.g. offered by network and/or grid operators

AIM – Relation to User Behaviour
What is AIM not doing (directly) Creating related awareness among users Investigating possible behaviour changes
However, AIM (outcome) is based on User awareness on Energy Efficiency Future change of the user behaviour
Who are the users? We are the users!We are the users! – residential users But not only we!
Dr. H. Hrasnica, AIM project: ICT21-EE – ICT for Energy Efficiency, Strasbourg, 11 December 2009 16
User Awareness and Willingness
Residential users To use the (AIM) technology
Appliance manufacturers To apply the technology – on no/low costs
Service providers To create services based on business models
Power grid operators To offer flexible cots models for customers
Motivation for all is essential Regulation, Legislation, Policy (European, global)
Dr. H. Hrasnica, AIM project: ICT21-EE – ICT for Energy Efficiency, Strasbourg, 11 December 2009 17
Using AIM Technology
No particular user interaction necessary Autonomous AIM functions Outsourced system configuration
By service and/or grid operators By manufactures providing appliance profiles
However, user involvement will remain Following-up the energy consumption Configuration of the “efficiency” plan Manual user actions – not wanted, but needed
Change of the user behaviour By operating and handling an “Energy” console Instead of controlling multiple appliances
But also not only electrical devices – heating, watering, etc.

AIM Evaluation Trials
Integration on a single platform At France Telecom labs – home environment Architecture and component tests Usability evaluation by test users Methodology for evaluation of energy saving First results on the achieved energy saving
Integration in real households in Greece Usability tests by real users Evaluation of achieved energy saving
