Abstract

A system includes a first subsystem configured to produce a resource by consuming electricity, a second subsystem configured to produce the resource by consuming a fuel, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine an allocation of a predicted demand for the resource over a future time period between the first subsystem and the second subsystem based on a first carbon emissions rate associated with off-site production of the electricity and a second carbon emissions rate associated with on-site consumption of the fuel. The controller is also configured to control the first subsystem and the second subsystem to produce the resource in accordance with the allocation during the future time period.

Claims (32)

1. A system, comprising:

a first subsystem configured to produce a resource by consuming electricity;

a second subsystem configured to produce the resource by consuming a fuel; and

a controller configured to:

determine an allocation of a predicted demand for the resource over a future time period between the first subsystem and the second subsystem based on a first carbon emissions rate associated with off-site production of the electricity and a second carbon emissions rate associated with on-site consumption of the fuel; and

control the first subsystem and the second subsystem to produce the resource in accordance with the allocation during the future time period.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first subsystem comprises a heat recovery chiller, the second subsystem comprises a hot water generator, and the resource is hot water.

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising a thermal energy storage system configured to store the hot water produced by the heat recovery chiller and the hot water generator.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the allocation by optimizing an objective function comprising:

a utility cost term accounting for purchases of the electricity and the fuel for the future time period; and

an emissions term based on the first carbon emissions rate and the second carbon emissions rate.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first carbon emissions rate is a marginal operating emissions rate.

6. A method for operating a first subsystem configured to produce a resource by consuming electricity and a second subsystem configured to produce the resource by consuming a fuel, the method comprising:

determining an allocation of a predicted demand for the resource over a future time period between the first subsystem and the second subsystem based on a first carbon emissions rate associated with off-site production of the electricity and a second carbon emissions rate associated with on-site consumption of the fuel; and

controlling the first subsystem and the second subsystem during the future time period to produce the resource in accordance with the allocation.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first subsystem comprises a heat recovery chiller, the second subsystem comprises a hot water generator, and the resource is hot water.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising controlling a thermal energy storage system to store at least a portion of the hot water produced by the heat recovery chiller and the hot water generator.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the allocation comprises optimizing an objective function comprising:

a utility cost term accounting for purchases of the electricity and the fuel for the future time period; and

an emissions term based on the first carbon emissions rate and the second carbon emissions rate.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising weighting the emissions term relative to the utility cost term using a user-selected weight.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the emissions term comprises a price of carbon offsets.

12. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first carbon emissions rate is a marginal operating emissions rate of a utility grid.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising predicting time-varying values of the marginal operating emissions rate for the future time period, wherein the allocation comprises allocating building loads based on the time-varying values.

14. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the allocation comprises performing an optimization subject to a constraint defined based on the first carbon emissions rate and the second carbon emissions rate.

15. A system comprising one or more processors and computer-readable media storing program instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

allocating a building load for a future time period between a first subsystem configured to produce a resource by consuming electricity and a second subsystem configured to produce the resource by consuming a fuel based on a first emissions rate associated with off-site production of the electricity and a second emissions rate associated with on-site consumption of the fuel; and

controlling the first subsystem and the second subsystem during the future time period in accordance with the allocated building load.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the resource is hot water, the first subsystem comprises a heat recovery chiller, and the second subsystem comprises a hot water generator.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first emissions rate and the second emissions rate are carbon emissions rates.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first emissions rate is a marginal operating emissions rate of a utility grid.

19. The system of claim 18 , the operations further comprising predicting time-varying values of the marginal operating emissions rate for the future time period, wherein allocating the building load is based on the time-varying values.
