As electrification accelerates, more electric loads will be installed in homes for activities such as EV charging, heating, and induction cooking. There is a trend towards increased energy generation at home from sources such as solar photovoltaic panels, and energy will be stored for use when needed to supplement, or replace, power from the grid.
The outcome will be new types connectivity. Energy will flow bi-directionally between assets that generate, store, and use power, and it will be digitally controlled. Cybersecurity and interoperability will be critically important.
Eaton’s strategic initiative Buildings as a Grid, powered by Brightlayer will orchestrate energy flows within a home. A Buildings as a Grid enabled system will transform a residential building into an energy hub in a safe and secure way to take advantage of the new power paradigm, better manage existing electrical infrastructure, and prepare for future energy requirements. It permits interoperability and embraces existing and future standardization.
