1 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory- A National Energy Research Asset With Significant Regional Impact Advanced Energy Conference 2011 October 12, 2011 Dennis Stiles, Program Manager Energy & Environment Directorate PNNL-SA-83254

2 PNNL: A National Asset in the Northwest Main campus in Richland, Washington DOE s only marine laboratory located in Sequim, Washington $1.1B R&D budget Multi-program R&D Nearly 5000 staff 930 publications 46 patents issued

3 Smart Grid: GridWise TM Demonstration Project Pioneering smart grid experiment to test grid-friendly appliances and address congestion, grid stress Explored consumer response to real-time prices via a two-way market with cash incentives Smart appliances in 112 homes Clear response to wholesale prices 15% reduction of peak load Up to 50% reduction in total load for several days when needed Managed a distribution feeder line for one full year Average customer savings of ~10%

4 Smart Grid: Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project What: $178M, ($89M private, $89M ARRA-funded) 5-year demonstration 60,000 metered customers Why: Quantify costs and benefits Develop communications protocol Develop standards Facilitate integration of wind and other renewables Who: Battelle, BPA, 11 utilities, 2 universities, 5 vendors

5 Smart Grid: Delivering New Models/Tools That Change Grid Operation & Management PNNL R&D Is Impacting Grid Operations In The West Supporting BPA in the NW Storage requirements to balance wind Wide-area EMS control for renewable integration Event analysis and mitigation planning Implemented by CA-ISO Regulation & Load Following Tool Renewable Variability Analysis and Visualization Tool Influencing WECC operations Graphical contingency analysis tool Balancing area consolidation plan Variable generation planning guide Mode Meter and MANGO for grid oscillation control Transmission operator training (EIOC) New Visual Analytic Tool In Use By CA-ISO

6 Energy Efficiency: End-Use Load and Consumer Assessment Program (ELCAP) Large-scale end-use data collection program from Detailed end-use data for HVAC, appliances, other household electric loads Supported numerous regional efficiency campaigns as part of the NW Power Planning process Still being used today TV Usage Pattern

7 Energy Efficiency: Updated End-Use Metering and Efficiency Test Beds DOE and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) 100 residential and 200 commercial buildings Detailed overview of energy end-use patterns over time Permissions to make efficiency modifications, test technology 7

8 Renewable Energy: PNNL Has A Central Role In Northwest Hydropower Understand & Mitigate Impacts To Fish Passage Critical data supporting dam operation and turbine design Sensors and advanced acoustic tracking Biomarkers Turbines that reduce fish mortality, increase generation by 10% Critical role of Columbia Estuary ecological health in salmon returns The NW Dam System Generates 75% of WA Power

9 Renewable Energy: Wind Resource Characterization & Columbia Basin Study Wind Resource Characterization: A Longstanding PNNL Research Role First NW wind maps Ongoing land-based wind R&D for EERE New work in off-shore wind Columbia Basin Wind Energy Study Goal: Assess use of non-traditional sources of meteorological data R&D Focus: Observations of wind profiles and turbulence are being collected from traditional and non-traditional sources over multiple seasons 9 Approximate location of study site

10 Renewable Energy: Marine & Hydro Kinetic (MHK) Research Underway in Puget Sound DOE s only marine sciences lab supports ocean energy R&D MHK resource assessment Predict effects of system installation & operation; define mitigation plans Engage stakeholders, regulators Snohomish PUD pilot Admiralty Inlet (~60m water) 1 st FERC pilot license in west Concern for endangered species impact, especially Orcas PNNL marine mammal alert system test coincides with pilot

11 Climate Change: Assessing Potential Impacts to Regional Energy & Other Infrastructure Climate Change Scenarios for Washington State Climate modeling at 20km resolution enables better resolution of mountain effects Better prediction of precipitation, temperature & impact to regional hydro system Atmospheric River (aka Pineapple Express ) Better simulation & prediction of AR frequency and moisture volume Assess future impact of the primary cause of flooding on the West Coast

12 Collaborative Energy Research for Smaller Companies Within the Region Infinia Concentrated Solar Power start up from Kennewick, Wash. Clean technology that is unmatched in concept and performance InEnTec Waste to Fuel company from Bend, Ore. InEnTec globally used at municipal, medical, and hazardous waste sites ClearEdge Power Fuel cell company from Hillsboro, Ore. Helping small to mid-size commercial buildings realize major gains in energy efficiency.
