Page 22
Plug Load and Appliances Addressable Loads
Challenges:
While the perceived addressable
market for white goods is large
(33%), the number of cost effective
plug load measures are few
Mobile population and increase in 2nd
refrigerators.
Plug Loads: 31%
Page 23
Program Challenges
Market / Product / Supply Chain:
Programs today are assumed to have high Free-Ridership or high Product
Saturation--given existing program design and evaluation methods.
The variety and product life cycle of appliances/technologies in homes are dynamic
and constantly evolving.
The Plug Load and Appliances supply chains are complex—retailers, contractors,
manufacturers, etc.,
Regulatory / Policy:
Impact/Process Evaluations, Work Paper Dispositions, Ex Ante Evaluations.
Products lack consistent efficiency standards (i.e. ENERGY STAR®) for most
measures.

Change Behaviors
Educate customers about
their energy use
Demonstrate Innovation
Support development of customer facing
energy management solutions• Build upon Edison SmartConnectTM capabilities
Diversify OfferingsPursue all cost-effective DSM
opportunities to target energy
savings without impacting user
experience
Advocate Policies
Identify new and impactful
areas for policy and
advocacy
Page 25
Program Success Requires
Accurate and timely planning for future technologies and trends (keeping in mind
the “unknown”), i.e. Characterization of the market.
Identifying the right products, at the right time, to create the right work paper for the
right incentive approach (upstream, midstream, downstream, other?).
Mutual shared risk between IOUs & CPUC to allowing innovative flexible program
designs, aggressive pilots and more flexible regulatory considerations
Early planning and engagement with industry manufacturers, retailers, utilities, and
regulators to develop cohesive/consistent strategy framework.

What Next?
77
Ever since I started to look at LED Light Bulbs 2 or 3 years ago I
have thought that we need a major change in the Consumer
Environment.
This change would be whole home Low Voltage DC.
Only Large Appliances require the AC currently in our homes.
We lose Energy when all other devices convert the AC to DC.
For Home Solar Panels the situation is even more insane, convert
Solar Low Voltage DC to Medium Voltage AC and then Medium
Voltage AC to Low Voltage DC at the device.
Low Voltage DC
78
24V DC Routed throughout the home would be safer for
children; and some adults!
Televisions are not High Voltage any more and could easily
operate from 24V DC.
USB 5V DC Wall Outlets could be easily installed to charge and
run Mobile devices.
LED Lighting would not need life shortening Drivers incorporated.
Low Voltage DC

ETCC “Plugging Into Savings” April 2014
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
Agenda• Intro
• Bernard Emby, Founder + CEO of TrickleStar
• TrickleStar Advanced PowerStrips are used by
> 30 utilities + efficiency programs nationally
—————
• Discussion Topics (15 mins)
• Energy use measurements
• How to build EE products without affecting user
experience
• From the perspective of an Advanced PowerStrip
(APS) vendor
93
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
Plug-Load • A broad variety of products, applications and use cases
• Products are used in an almost infinite number of
combinations and permutations
• No ‘silver bullet’ / one size fits all solution
• A multi-faceted approach is needed to deal with plug-load
94
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
Importance Of Energy Use Measurements
• Plug-load and Advanced PowerStrips are generally
not well understood by consumers - ‘under the radar’
• No vendor has been successful in traditional retail
channels with plug load solutions
• Utility / EE program involvement is essential to foster
education, adoption and market transformation
• Stating the obvious…Energy use data and deemed
savings are critical in order to be able to work well
with utilities and drive market transformation
95
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
APS Research • Tier 1 - Simple master / slave, current sensing
• Numerous studies - (NYSERDA study frequently
referenced)
• Consensus on deemed savings (80-100 kWh / YR
for TV applications)
• Tier 2 - IR sensing + master / slave current sensing
• No 3rd party funded research on Tier 2 APS
• 1 vendor metered study (sample size <20)
• TrickleStar commissioned 2 studies on Tier 2 APS
in 2013
96
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
APS Research • CalPlug - lab based research. Savings of 400 kWh
/ year. Study recently completed
• UL Environment - savings of 200-220 kWh / year.
Study nearing completion
• Both studies are being reviewed by an external
program evaluator - Illume
• 3rd Party funded, quantitative research is needed
97

Coordinating Council - April 2014
EE Products + User Experience• Questions we ask?
• Cost vs quantum of savings - is it worthwhile? Where are the ‘sweet
spots’?
• Should improvements be done at a device level or is an external
product required?
• Ideal situation is to find applications where savings can be achieved with
no impact to the user BUT…. there’s usually a ‘trade off’
• Striking a balance between the competing objectives of User
Experience vs Energy savings vs Cost:
• Negative user experience = low persistence of energy savings
• No change to use = no savings
• Product + deployment cost vs Quantum of savings
98
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
EE Products + User Experience
• Guiding considerations
• Impact on user experience should be minimal or
unobtrusive or it will not remain installed
• Design for a broad range of customers with
differing skills, knowledge, literacy and languages
• Simple to install - keep deployment cost low
• Simple to use - diversity of user skills and users
generally don’t read instructions
• Application driven solutions (Savings + cost
effectiveness + deployed in volume + simplicity)
99
Emerging Technologies
Coordinating Council - April 2014
Design Directions• Alternative sensing / control technologies
• Combinations of technologies to detect presence and use
• IR command sensing + Passive InfraRed motion sensing
• Light level sensing
• Scheduling and countdown timers
• Hard switching vs soft switching
• Many devices can be hard switched, but an increasing number
are networked or have memory that needs to be soft switched
e.g. smart TV’s
• What’s technically possible vs what makes sense?
