Given the proliferation of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), market viability of renewable energy, and a need to increase local electricity reliability and ensure outage resilience, microgrids have emerged as an appropriate solution for incorporating customer-side generation, and an enabler for islanding of local electricity delivery resources. Over the next five to eight years, the market for vendors of microgrid-related products and services is estimated to reach around $40 billion.

This conference will address microgrid drivers and initiatives at the national, state, and utility levels; regulatory and policy initiatives that encourage micro grid development; financing opportunities and challenges, and technical aspects. Further, we will introduce the concept of the “Smart Community” and address what the role of a microgrid is within this concept. Case studies, presentations, and panel discussions all will be implemented in communicating this information.

• Engineers, managers, and policy analysts from the utility industry

• Facility managers and electrical engineers for corporate, academic, or residential campuses

• State regulators and staff

• County and municipal officials

• Distributed generation industry

• Combined heat and power industry

• Renewable energy suppliers

• Researchers and academics

• Hardware suppliers, advanced metering vendors, software vendors, construction firms

• Describe or identify a microgrid

• Examine the benefits of a microgrid

• Assess your facility’s or municipality’s viability for a microgrid

• Review and compare actual case studies

• Discuss options for financing or investing in microgrid installations

• Appreciate technical aspects of microgrid operation

• Relate regulations and policies surrounding microgrids to real-world situations

• Explain the concept of a Smart Community

agenda

Monday, September 29, 2014

12:30 – 1:00 p.m. registration

1:00 – 1:15 p.m. welcome and opening remarks by conference chair

– Jayant Kumar Ph.D., Global Smart Grid Program Director, ALSTOM

1:15 – 5:00 p.m. session i: smart communities, Microgrids and related case studies

A number of completed or running projects can provide relevant examples for all parties considering future microgrid development. This session will explore utility-sponsored microgrid projects and discuss related successes and lessons learned. Additionally, we will introduce the concept of a “Smart Community” and discuss the role that microgrids have to play in creating such a community.

utility owned and operated Microgrids

SDG&E has deployed a microgrid in Borrego Springs. This case study will discuss the particulars of microgrids, how the system has operated and what the future holds in store for the evolution of this microgrid.

– Tom Bialek, Chief Engineer, San Diego Gas & Electric

smart community implementation in ontario, canada

• PowerStream believes that microgrids will be an integrated part of our energy future

• PowerStream believes microgrids will change the way electricity is delivered, and also represent an innovative solution to the challenge of asset renewal in large-scale electricity distribution systems

• Microgrids demonstrate that renewable energy can effectively help to address the growing demand for electricity

• With the implementation of an integrated microgrid demonstration project at its head office in Vaughan, Ontario, PowerStream is one of the first utilities of its size in Canada to initiate a proof-of-concept trial, evaluating the microgrid’s performance while it is connected to, and also disconnected from, the existing electricity distribution system.

– Neetika Sathe, VP Corporate Development, PowerStream

smart grid + community Microgrid = smart community

• Community microgrids are an opportunity for Smart Cities to achieve more sustainable energy systems

• Community microgrids can provide 25% or more of their energy from local renewables, while strengthening grid resilience and optimizing efficiency

• Community microgrids deliver Smart Cities substantial energy, economic, and environmental benefits

• Case study: The Hunters Point Project in San Francisco, in partnership with PG&E

– Greg Thomson, Clean Coalition’s Community Microgrid Initiative

community Microgrid energy Management system

• Community microgrid

o Operational planning

o Monitoring, protection and controls

o Economic dispatch and transactions

– Jayant Kumar, Global Smart Grid Program Director, Alstom

california development of dispatchable aggregated Portfolio of Preferred resources (daPPr) utilizing evaporative cooling systems for commercial hVac systems

• “Dispatchable Aggregated Portfolio of Preferred Resources (DAPPR)” to use energy efficiency assets

• DAPPR to serve as an easily scheduled resource for peak load management and/or load balancing

• End to end system with enabling information technology capability to manage the combination

• The combination would allow commercial aggregators to sell long-term contracts of the aggregated grid impacts of these DAPPRs to utilities or ISOs as regularly scheduled resources. This “utility side” revenue would complement the avoided cost electric bill savings that occur when the energy efficiency resources are dispatched. The resulting cost savings can be split between building owners and the commercial aggregator. Together, the two revenue streams make the business case of the third party funded energy efficiency installations viable.

– Michael Day, Principal, Rockwood Consulting

applied research and the need for Knowledge-sharing

• The Advanced Power and Energy Program at the University of California, Irvine addresses the development and deployment of efficient, environmentally sensitive, sustainable power generation and energy conversion worldwide

• At the heart of this endeavor is the creation of new knowledge brought about through fundamental and applied research, and the sharing of this knowledge through education and outreach. Industry is actively engaged and vital to this effort.

– Brendan Shaffer, Technology Manager - Sustainable Transportation, Sustainable Energy, Senior Research Scientist, Advanced Power and Energy Program (APEP), University of California, Irvine

This workshop will explain the key concepts of community microgrids and their recent development across the nation as well as the globe. The United States Presidential Executive Order 13653 will be examined. Analysis will explain how the focus of community microgrids is to prepare the nation for the impacts of climate change (as set forth in the Executive Order 13653) with the goal of “building stronger and safer communities and infrastructure” in accordance with the President’s Climate Action Plan.

The workshop will present various funding opportunities of more than $200M, for communities to develop different class of microgrids. Success of community microgrid development begins with a strong Energy Master Plan.

The fundamental concept of Energy Master Plan development will be presented. An overview of the Energy Master Plan process for Community Microgrids will be presented with description of how different regions in the country as well as the world will need to have some common and some specific implementations. A primer of step-by-step Community Microgrid Energy Master Plan Development for the communities operating in the de-regulated electric market will be presented.
