Grid Limitations
20th Century Grid:Centralized, dispatchable generation
21st Century Requirements:Increasing demand for electricityDistributed generationIncreasing desire for intermittent rewewables
Results:Overloaded gridLimitations on intermittent renewables

Thermal Storage (TS) and Renewables
Wide use of Renewables requires storageStore renewable energy when available and provide backup using off-peak base load generationTS provides low cost, long life storage Use of renewables, heat pumps and TS significantly reduces carbon footprintLow Cost of operation for consumer

TS and Renewables (continued)
Reduces our dependence on imported energy
Demand response benefits to Power Company
Optimizes use of available renewable power
Helps meet state RPS (Renewable Portfolio (Renewable Portfolio Standards)Standards)

Evolution of Rates for Renewable Energy and Thermal Storage
1. Flat (kWh)2. Fixed Time-of-Use (kWh)3. Interruptible (kWh)4. Critical Peak Pricing (kWh)5. Real-Time (kWh)6. As-Available (kWh)7. Flat (delivered BTU’s)
A. Heat pumps/air conditioners owned by 3rd partyB. Charge for BTU’s, not kWh
23
Advanced Rates, Smart Grid and Thermal Storage
Can enble users to:Use energy for compressors only when rates and grid load are lowestContinue full service during scheduled power interruptionsAccept excess energy from intermittent renewables as it is availableDo heating and cooling at low, predictable, fixed cost
24
Thermal Storage and the Smart Grid
Smart Grid operator sends requests to demand-responsive loads when:
Grid load is lowIntermittent renewable energy supply > demand
Demand-responsive thermal storage loadsStore energy as heat/cold when grid operator requests, until storage is fullUse stored heat/cold as needed

Conclusions
Two major challenges facing the Grid:Reducing peak loadsIncreasing the use of renewable energy
End-use Thermal Storage combined with Heat Pumps through a Smart Grid can play an important role in meeting both challenges
