Home Area Nework Guide Let Us Know How We’re Doing Home Area Nework Guide CHAPTER HOME AREA NETWORK OVERVIEW Home Area Networks (HANs) are the next step toward the goal of smart grid distribution. The Aclara HAN is designed to supply end-users with the current demand, consumption data, and pricing information necessary for demand side energy management. Providing real time consumption and pricing feedback encourages consumers to self-regulate energy usage which will ultimately help balance the load across both peak and off-peak periods. In addition, the HAN gives the utility to perform direct load control events, if necessary, to prevent power disruption. The Aclara HAN consists of an Aclara integrated meter, a ZigBee® enabled In Home Display (IHD), and a ZigBee enabled programmable thermostat. Figure 2.1 HAN overview Home Area Nework Guide Each of these demonstration units (IHD, programmable thermostat, and RCE) are delivered in matched sets to facilitate installation and intercommunication. Each matched set is coded with a particular set number (see for set number identification), and components from sets are not interchangeable. (e.g. An IHD from set #2 may not be used with the programmable thermostat from set #1.) NOTE The matched sets are for demonstration only. All production units will be interchangable. Home Area Nework Guide Chapter 2 • Home Area Network Overview Components Aclara Integrated Meter The Aclara integrated meter functions as the hub of the HAN. It receives TWACS communication from the Master Station and relays this to the IHD and programmable thermostat. Similarly, it receives communication from the IHD and the programmable thermostat, and transfers this information back to the Master Station. The Aclara integrated meter consists of a UMT-R-FX transponder and a ZigBee module integrated with an L+G FOCUS meter. Figure 2.2 Integrated meter Home Area Nework Guide Components In Home Display The Aclara IHD is a plug-in demand response component that receives messages, alerts, billing, and account status information from the utility via the RCE. The IHD displays this information for the end user, so that he or she may plan and adjust energy consumption accordingly. The IHD plugs into a standard 120 VAC outlet. Figure 2.3 Installed IHD NOTE: Appearance of actual IHD may vary from image. Home Area Nework Guide Chapter 2 • Home Area Network Overview Programmable Thermostat The programmable thermostat allows the utility to make adjustments based on pricing or current demand. Future versions will allow end users to temporarily opt out of the program, however the present version does not allow the consumer to override the utility settings. Figure 2.4 Installed programmable thermostat NOTE: Appearance of actual programmable thermostat may vary from image. Home Area Nework Guide Functional Description Functional Description The HAN module receives power from the host device and has its own microcontroller, RF circuitry, and permanently attached antenna. The HAN module transmits and receives RF transmissions from an IHD and a programmable thermostat. The HAN module transmits and receives data using 16 channels spaced at 5 MHz intervals across the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The first channel used is at 2405 MHz, and the 16th channel is at 2480 MHz. The HAN module transmits to the IHD and programmable thermostat for a maximum of 10 ms in a 100 ms interval for a 10% duty cycle. The HAN module employs Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (OQPSK) without use of a subcarrier. The HAN module serves as the network coordinator and communicates with other ZigBee enabled Smart Energy devices such as thermostats and IHDs. REGULATORY DATA This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the equipment into an output on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, consult the dealer or an experience radio/TV technician for help. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes to these components that are not expressly approved by Aclara may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 10 Home Area Nework Guide Chapter 2 • Home Area Network Overview Figure 2.5 RF operation block diagram Home Area Nework Guide 11 Functional Description Messaging The TNS HAN software is capable of sending 59 bytes of text to either the IHD or the thermostat. The number of bytes a HAN device will receive, however, may vary. The TNS operator has the option of specifying a display time duration, message importance, and/or requesting confirmation for each message. The message will appear in the HAN device display until the display time elapses, the message is cancelled, or a new message is sent. Figure 2.6 Text Message tab Field Description TWACS Serial Number: Application ID: Message: The serial number of the RCE you would like to address. Expiration Importance Confirmation Requested 12 The device to receive the text message. Options are either IHD or Thermostat. The text to be sent to the device. TNS allows for a maximum of 59 characters. (End device character display may vary.) How long the message should be displayed. You may specify a time (from 15-3825 minutes, in 15 minute increments) or Never. Selecting Never will display the message until a new message is sent. The Importance radio buttons allow the end user to see whether the message is considered Low, Medium, High, or Critical from a distance. Selecting the Confirmation Requested check box will trigger an auditory indicator that will repeat until the end user confirms they have read the message. Home Area Nework Guide Chapter 2 • Home Area Network Overview Pricing This option allows the TNS operator to send a pricing message consisting of a price value and a start time to the HAN device. A pricing message sent to the HAN device will remain active until a new pricing message is received. The HAN module will store up to 5 pricing messages. Figure 2.7 Price Message tab NOTE A pricing message cannot be cancelled, but it can be replaced with a new pricing message. Home Area Nework Guide 13 Functional Description Temperature Setback Selecting this tab allows the operator to send a Smart Energy Profile (SEP) load control command to the thermostat. These commands include the offset value, the start time and date, and command duration. Once a temperature setback command begins, it will remain active until the command duration expires or the start time of a new command is reached. The utility can also allow the customer(s) to opt out of a load control event by selecting the Opt Out Allowed check box. Figure 2.8 Temp.
