2 Summary This presentatin reviews several key aspects f micrgrid planning and design alng with examples prjects including: Requirements determinatin and lad analysis Generatin analysis with an emphasis n renewable energy Micrgrid mdeling Operating requirements Lessns learned 2 Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability fr the Next Decade

3 Natinal Renewable Energy Labratry (NREL) Overview Supprts DD s cmplementary missins related t energy use. Dedicated t Advancing Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Energy Systems Integratin. Owned by the Department f Energy Leading clean-energy innvatin fr 34 years ~2500 emplyees with wrld-class facilities Mre than 350 active partnerships Campus is a living mdel f sustainable energy 3 Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability fr the Next Decade

4 Micrgrid Requirement and Lad Analysis What kind f micrgrid, building, campus, r utility? What type and duratin f utage d yu need t survive? What ther things d want yur micrgrid t prirtize e.g. ecnmic savings? Start by identifying and classifying lads Sheddable, essential critical? Initially need t determine Min, average, and max lads Lad prfile Types f lads NREL CORE Micrgrid Design Prcess 4 Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability fr the Next Decade

5 Miramar Example: Requirements Determinatin Pwer critical lads n Flight-Line and supprting facilities in the event f a grid utage with ptential fr future expansin 7 MW max, 4 MW avg, 2.5 MW min 4.5 MW f existing renewable energy Requirement t perate fr at least tw weeks in islanded mde and use redundant/n-site fuel surces t enhance resiliency Prject Gals: Energy Resilience Maximize renewable energy and use f existing assets Revenue frm grid tied peratins and grid supprt 5 Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability fr the Next Decade
