Cell Controller Capabilities and Benefits

18

Capabilities Power Import/Export using DER at remote interties Firm wind production using DER Aggregated market participation for DER Feeder Volt/VAR control using DER Fast islanding and resynchronization

Benefits Maximize value of DER by exposing multiple value streams DNO can enable new services to multiple parties TSO can leverage assets on the distribution network for network

reliability and optimization Market Operators can aggregate and dispatch DER to market Same portfolio of DER can be used for multiple applications

FortZED – Ft. Collins Zero Energy District

FortZED Jumpstart Zone: DOE-RDSI funded One of nine projects awarded $11.1m project ($6.5m + match) 2 of 8 feeders serving FortZED Peak Demand: ~7-8 MW/feeder Allows use of wide variety of

distributed and renewable energyresources for grid management

Long Term Goal: “Zero Energy District”A (net) Zero Energy District is one thatcreates as much thermal and electricalenergy locally as it uses annually.
