1 ConEd Brownsville Project Distributed Generation Solutions Aggregation of Packaged Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Units, Battery Energy Storage Systems (MTA Substation), Microgrid Systems, Gas Driven Chillers, and Bi-directional Fleet Electric Vehicles CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES LLC 7/31/2014 1

2 Overview Distributed generation (DG) systems include combined heat and power (CHP) units distributed throughout the community that are aggregated together with smart grid software, creating virtual power plants Other technologies include battery storage, solar, wind, fuel cells, gas driven chillers, and plug-in electric vehicles These systems replace central station power plants and 50 year old transmission lines reducing transmission line losses, avoiding capital costs, reducing environmental impacts, improving security, and allowing planning for emergencies 7/31/2014 2

16 EDF Blog on NYPSC ConEd Final Order Con Edison agreed to various measures that allow for more distributed generation, i.e. on-site power generation, such as combined heat and power, rather than relying solely on power generation and distribution from the traditional, centralized grid. For example, Con Edison agreed to pay for some fault current mitigation, which enables distributed generation to be connected to portions of Con Edison s grid where it would otherwise be prohibited, and agreed to develop an implementation plan for a microgrid pilot. Additionally, Con Edison agreed to treat customer-sited projects, including distributed generation, as integral parts of its system by considering them in its 24-month planning horizon. Because some distributed generation can operate in an islanded mode, or separate from the main grid, and can thus continue operating in a power outage, distributed generation can play a critical role in improving resilience. With the participation of Collaborative parties, Con Edison will conduct a comprehensive climate change vulnerability study. The Commission framed this initiative as one with statewide implications, stating that other New York utilities are expected to similarly consult the most current data available on climate change impacts to their regions and adjust system planning and budgets accordingly. 7/31/
