1 NY Metro Areas Changing Energy Future Thomas Bourgeois Deputy Director Pace Energy and Climate Center February 2017

2 Presentation in Brief New York State is moving towards a distributed energy resources (DER) future Community Energy Systems, encompassing a suite of DER assets and including advanced controls, and IT optimization algorithms, are likely central to that future state High efficiency, environmentally superior combined heat and power (CHP); including microgrids and district energy systems with CHP often are the heart of a robust, resilient and economically attractive community energy system <Date> <Footer> 2

3 Combined Heat and Power 3

4 What is CHP? Combined Heat and Power Uses energy efficiently Reduces emissions Suite of technologies to meet site energy demands <Date> <Footer> 4

5 CHP Recaptures Heat of Generation, Increasing Energy Efficiency, and Reducing GHGs 30 units 94 units Fuel Power Plant 32% efficiency (Including T&D) Electricity CHP 75% efficiency Fuel 100 units 56 units Fuel Onsite Boiler 80% efficiency Heat 45 units Total Efficiency ~ 50% Total Efficiency ~ 75% 30 to 55% less greenhouse gas emissions <Date> <Footer> 5

6 Wide Range of CHP Sizes and Capacities 6

7 CHP: Economic and Environmental Benefits 7 Source: DOE, Combined Heat and Power: A Clean Energy Solution, 2012

8 New York in Top 6 States for CHP Technical Potential U.S. total CHP tech potential 240,644 MW #1: Texas total CHP tech potential 25,826 MW #2: California total CHP tech potential 18,822 MW #3: Illinois total CHP tech potential 12,825 MW #4: New York total CHP tech potential 12,466 MW #5: Louisiana total CHP tech potential 11,977 MW #6: Ohio total CHP tech potential 11,087 MW ICF Report CHP Technical Potential in the United States, March

9 Commercial Sector has Significant CHP Potential MegaWatts COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDING COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS GOVERNMENT BULDINGS HOSPITALS OTHER COMMERCIAL ICF Report CHP Technical Potential in the United States, March

10 NY CHP Potential Primarily in Commercial Sector 4,901 MW of commercial, industrial & multifamily onsite CHP Most of that 4,901 MW in commercial office buildings, colleges & universities, multifamily & government buildings, and hospitals ICF Report CHP Technical Potential in the United States, March

11 Onsite, Export & Total CHP Tech Potential State Total On-site Potential Total Export Potential Total CHP Technical Potential California 11,542 MW 7,280 MW 18,822 MW Illinois 7,161 MW 5,664 MW 12,825 MW Louisiana 4,903 MW 7,074 MW 11,977 MW New York 6,908 MW 5,559 MW 12,466 MW Ohio 7,005 MW 4,082 MW 11,087 MW Texas 13,675 MW 12,151 MW 25,826 MW Total United States 148,936 MW 91,709 MW 240,644 MW ICF Report CHP Technical Potential in the United States, March

12 Microgrids are growing in the Northeast Several incentive programs for microgrids implemented in Northeast NY Prize Connecticut DEEP Microgrid Grant and Loan Program New Jersey Energy Resilience Bank CHP is a primary energy source for the majority of planned and installed microgrids under these programs <Date> <Footer> 12

13 CHP provides continuous, clean heat and power ideal for microgrid use In an emergency, a microgrid can operate independently of the grid, keeping emergency services on-line and providing emergency shelter CHP provides continuous power and heat needed in an emergency situation Can serve as base load allowing integration of solar and other intermittent renewable energy sources Due to its high efficiency, a microgrid with CHP can lower normal heating and electric costs, quickly offsetting cost of construction <Date> <Footer> 13

14 Microgrid Projects, Connecticut Hamden, CT Connects Hamden High School, Hamden Ice Arena, and Hamden Plaza government buildings to operate as emergency shelter and services during emergency 400 kw CHP baseline, 300 kw solar for daytime peak loads Wesleyan University, CT Allows campus to stay powered and heated in an emergency, including dining services and the Freeman Athletic Center, a FEMA distribution facility 3 MW CHP anchor, 960 kw solar has been added <Date> <Footer> 14

15 Microgrid Projects, New York Empire State Plaza, Albany Maintains power and heat for state, county and city government offices Emergency housing for up to 30,000 people 16 MW CHP Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus Will power Buffalo General Hospital, Gates Vascular Institute, High Point on Michigan, Women and Children s Hospital, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Cleveland Biolabs, and 249 neighboring homes 7.7 MW CHP, 5 MW Natural Gas Engines, 1.1 MW Solar <Date> <Footer> 15

16 Microgrid Projects, New Jersey St. Peter s University Hospital, New Brunswick Lost power and water during Superstorm Sandy Installing 2 MW CHP microgrid RWJBarnabas-Health Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, Hunterdon Medical Center also funded for CHP microgrids NJ Energy Resilience Bank has funded feasibility studies for 13 community microgrids tying together schools, emergency services, and other critical government operations <Date> <Footer> 16

18 CHP Technical Assistance Partnerships Education and Outreach Technical Assistance Market Opportunity Analysis 18

19 CHP Technical Assistance Screening and Preliminary Analysis Feasibility Analysis Investment Grade Analysis Procurement, Operations, Maintenance, Commissioning Quick screening questions with spreadsheet payback calculator. Uses available site information. Estimates savings, Installation costs, simple paybacks, equipment sizing and type. 3rd Party review of engineering analysis. Review equipment sizing and choices. Review specifications and bids, limited operational analysis. 19

20 Summary CHP gets the most out of a fuel source enabling: Reduced operating costs Reduced environmental footprint More efficient power and thermal generation Proven technologies commercially available that cover full range of sizes and applications An important component of a community energy development 20
