Nanogrid to Campus Microgrid - How Santa Fe Community College is Working with the Local Community

and Utility to Deploy a MicrogridPresented by Siemens

Henry Mignardot Clark Wiedetz


Nanogrid to Campus Microgrid<Santa Fe Community College –February 21, 2018>

SIEMENS DIGITAL GRID APPA WEBINAR

Webinar Overview

• Distributed Energy Value to Higher Education

• Trends in Higher Education & Benefits of Phased Approach

• Distributed Energy - Winning Ingredients

- Phased Approach for SFCC

- Performance Contracts

• Q&A


On-Site Energy – Higher Education Trends

Reliability & Resiliency

• Higher Ed campuses often experience higher energy supply reliability and resiliency risks due to aging infrastructure .

• On campus generation enables locallized control and enhances resiliency during event driven grid outages

Campus Based CHP

• Higher Ed campus environments are often ideal CHP candidates due to electrical and thermal energy (steam, hot water, chilled water) demand.

• CHP can be incorporated into curriculum and “Living Labs” while saving operating costs and improving sustainability

Interest in Outsourcing

• Public private partnerships (‘PPP’) such as DBOOM, are being explored as a measure of managing investment and lowering operational risks

• Long-term service arrangements are an emerging alternative to traditional investment and direct ownership

Aging Infrastructure

• Higher Ed campuses consistently face aging boiler, chiller or central plant infrastructure that is difficult to fund, pose operational risks, and are inefficient

• Performance-based solutions, outsourcing, and 3rd party ownership are all contracting options

Supplementing a Successful PC

Program

• Large capital intensive needs (central plant, energy supply infrastructure) can be challenging to fund through Performance Contract savings alone

• DBOOM is an alternative funding approach that can work with PC to address capital intensive priorities

Siemens Approach to Microgrid Solutions“Our goal is to have students move on from this program and find good and fulfilling jobs in the future of technology, energy and energy distribution. We are grateful to Siemen’s for partnering with SFCC students to create positive outcomes for both education and industry.”– Camilla Bustamante, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Trades, Technology, Sustainability, and Professional Studies and of the School of Business and Education, Santa Fe Community College

“Working with Siemens as a provider for all of these solutions gave a very holistic approach. This project alone will reduce our carbon footprint by 13%. The microgrid controller allows us to optimize our energy use and ultimately save on energy costs. It also future-proofs us and gives us resiliency going forward, allowing us to change and adapt to the different types of energy sources that will be become available to us in the future.” – Todd Schonewille, Director of Physical Infrastructures, Algonquin College

“This project [Blue Lake Rancheria] shows the type of leadership and partnership that can advance California's climate and renewable energy goals, help transform our energy system, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” – Karen Douglas, California Energy Commissioner

No Upfront Capital Investment• Customers do not pay until DES asset is operational & then pay over time

Value Proposition for Our Higher Education Customers

Asset Ownership & Operations is Siemens Responsibility• Customers do not have to take long-term responsibility for O&M resources and

expertise—Siemens will implement and operate

Replace/Offset Existing Utility Bills/Cost • Customer payment is similar to current utility bill(s) and simply lowers/offsets those

bills/ costs

Siemens Solution and Alignment – Contract Direct with Siemens• Siemens provides a complete turnkey + lifecycle solution (Development, Technical,

Financial, Performance without seams to the Customer)

Potential to Monetize & Upgrade Aging Utility Infrastructure• Under right circumstances: customer situation specific option – based on asset type,

useful life, environmental indemnity etc.
