Low Carbon Roadmap
• Has the purpose to illustrate the factors Sainsbury’s should
consider when defining their long term energy strategy
Hythe is our Test Bed
• The “smart-grid supermarket” concept focuses on
managing the different processes occurring within a store
with the objective of enhancing its energy consumption for
mutual cost and environmental benefits while not forsaking
the appeal and daily operations of supermarkets.
•
•
It will be a learning exercise
– Practical implementation or use of existing smart controls to enhance
supermarket energy demand.
Management of in-store processes
– Enhancing energy efficiency strategies and ‘load flexibility’ in order to
calculate the capacity available for devising ‘demand response’ programs.
Hythe Deliverables
• Objectives of the project include the following:
–
–
–
–
–
Conduct a thorough monitoring of energy demand
Understand demand characteristics of services
Identify operational constraints of systems
Perform system trials that either save/shift energy use
Define best practices of energy demand per system
and reduce carbon emissions
– Trials will serve to validate Imperial College models
– Assess potential of adopting flexible tariff schemes and
offering demand response services to the grid
– If trials are successful adopt roll back/roll fwd plan
Hythe Specs – A Carbon Step Store
• Store specifications and what's innovative?
– Opened in late February 2011
– Sales floor area of 35,759 sq. ft. with reflective ceiling,
light tubes and considerable windows in the shop front
and GM areas
– Thorough energy monitoring with over 50 sensors
– Rain water harvesting unit reduces water demand
– Biomass boiler supplies low carbon heat with a
maximum 700 kW capacity
– Generator supplies low carbon electricity with a
maximum 140 kW capacity (installed recently)
– 50 kW PV panels in the roof
A day in the life of Hythe

Hythe Monitoring
• Opened in February 2011, Hythe allows the partnership to
learn the characteristics of each system’s energy demand.
– Trials of different systems for energy efficiency and demand
response strategies which will benefit SSL are in progress
– Desired outcome will be to better understand how to optimally
integrate the systems
• Benchmarking:
– Hythe per week: 1st Q = 0.97 kWh/ft2 and 2nd Q = 1.01 kWh/ft2
– Baselines per week 05/06 = 2 kWh/ft2 and 09/10 = 1.40 kWh/ft2

Hythe Load Profile Analysis
• Thorough monitoring allows us to build virtual store
models and hence assess trade-offs in energy design
strategies when the framework is strengthened
• Consequently, impact of low carbon technologies can be
estimated (e.g. biomass boiler, bio fuel generator)
• At Hythe new technologies can abate emissions 20-45% and
imported electricity from 1-25%

Hythe Lighting (September 2011)
Granularity is key in analysing performance
Diming in the shop front area
is not being achieved
Dimming is being achieved efficiently in GM, shop front,
and car park areas when natural day is abundant
Car park load impact
Case study: Lighting System
• Further work
– Revise final commissioning and ideal sensor location
– There are 100 Sainsbury’s sites with Clipsal – roll back/fwd
program would be an easy win (10 store pilot approved!!!)
– Each store is unique in itself, however new standard settings can
be established based on store characteristics

Case study: Lighting System
• Early learning’s from trials are:
– Customers and staff have not perceived changes and these have
not impacted trade
– Trials have been successful due to the robust lighting system
control, thorough study of how the system works, and good
collaboration between the partners
– Lighting system at Hythe has benefited greatly from light tubes,
shop front windows, and reflective ceilings and floor
– Flexible energy demand in the lighting system is non-intrusive with
Sainsbury’s business and has potential for further uses that can
generate value for the company
– Dial-in system is required to easily modify settings

– The BMS Trend system controls the heating and cooling of the
building through AHUs and biomass boiler
– Although energy use in this system is efficient it was noted
temperature set-points in the dry goods area are not being met
– AHUs are low energy consumers, the boiler constitutes most of the
demand (excessive use of the boiler during summer months)

Case study: HVAC System
• Early learning’s from trial and further work:
– The HVAC system is quite efficient at Hythe and hence it’s demand
is not as flexible as for lighting
– Biggest area of opportunity is to save operating costs by using less
wood chips to fuel the boiler and optimising temperature set points,
and VSD of AHUs; proper post-comission plan is needed!!!
– Relationship between HVAC and refrigeration needs work (waste
heat recovery) and hence data needs to be logged
Case study: HVAC System
• Data logging via Trend Energy Manager is now possible:
– Trend BMS is now able to log its data and display it in its interface
for Sainsbury’s and Imperial’s benefit
– Level of detail in comparing metrics will allow us to find easier the
relationship between HVAC, refrigeration, and ambient store
temperatures.
Case study: Bakery/Hot Food System
• Research and trials
– Dr Acha shadowed bakery and hot food counter activities in order
to learn the reasoning behind energy demand patterns
– After studying the equipment and the manner in which staff employ
them tips are advisable to save energy – if followed they could
save 22 tCO2 without negatively impacting trade
– Hythe management is aware of the potential benefits and are keen
on applying these tips to reduce operating costs; plan is needed!!!

Case study: Refrigeration System
• Research and trials
– Danfoss and Parasense monitor and control this system
– Thorough investigation is in progress, hence only energy saving
trials have taken place by covering frozen and chilled cabinets
during ‘non-trading’ with exciting results!
– Management needs to reinforce this practice when possible
– After sufficient data is collected and approval is given a pre-cooling
approach of frozen products would like to be trialled
Covering frozen and chilled cabinets during non-trading has very attractive savings
Case study: Refrigeration System
• Early learning’s from the trial and further work:
– Working closely with Danfoss/Sainsbury’s/Arcus FM etc is key to
successfully progress in this area
– Covers were done last Sunday and compared to a similar day
<Max> 18C <Min> 13C
– Average savings over 29 tCO2

Case study: Refrigeration System
• Covering frozen cabinets make much sense since:
– Cooling of products is more efficient and packs are not worked that
hard (good opportunity to seriously reduce base load)
– Talks with suppliers, retail and refrigeration team to make cover
trials a best practice
Case study: Refrigeration System
• Imperial College recommends a pre-cooling approach of
frozen products to assess energy shifting possibilities:
– It would be useful to identify how much energy consumption can
be consumed at night time and avoided during the day.
– Furthermore, load shedding alternatives such as fan and defrost
dispatch will also be considered
– Close monitoring of product temperature is paramount

What trade-offs does
on-site generation bring?
Generation Trials
• Research
– Operating strategies to be tested will first serve to conduct tests
that help comprehend the real performance of the bio fuel unit
while later trials will focus on optimising particular variables
– The operating strategies being considered are:
1. Basic response (efficiency and response times)
2. Peak shaving (reduce maximum demand times)
3. Partial off-grid scenarios (reduce energy imports)
4. Cost reduction scenarios (simulate flexible tariff schemes)

Hythe Savings Summary
• Hythe estimated bills are £165k/year with a carbon
footprint of 985 tonnes
• Potential savings accumulated thus far are £19k (11%)
and 104 tonnes of carbon (10%) – easy wins that can
have immediate impact – winter quarter of 0.90 kWh/ft2?
• If we just extrapolate the electrical power savings to 500
Sainsbury’s stores an attractive benefit of 50,000 tCO2
can be achieved
• Sainsbury’s needs to make the most out of these findings.
How can we effectively translate this learning's to other
sites?
Going Forward
• Tasks
– Continue thorough monitoring of Hythe to learn seasonal variations
and adopt control strategies accordingly; produce quarterly reports
– Address technical issues required to conduct refrigeration trial
– Assess trials conducted thus far until capabilities have been fully
explored (e.g. lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, etc.)
– Implement regular operating schedule of bio fuel generator
– Use data to develop energy models that will serve to evaluate
other Sainsbury supermarkets (e.g. Supervision of Sainsbury’s
MSc projects; strategic planning and virtual store projects)
– Contribute in developing a single interface that monitors and
analyses the energy consumption of the store (GE partner)
– Key learning's should continue to be explored and when ready
transferred to SSL for roll back/forward that enrich the companies
position in its business sector
Thank you for your
attention!
