9 Energy Sector Technologies Distributed Energy First Strategic Roadmap that M-WERC did focused on Distributed Energy Resources and Systems (DERS) The report predicted the emergence of microgrids and made these market projections for revenues by 2019: Data Centers - $737.5 million Commercial Buildings - $628.5 million Remote - $369.2 million University Campuses - $277.5 million Manufacturing - $257.0 million Public Sector - $239.1 million Hospitals - $237.5 million Solar PV market has exploded since then Wind Growth has stayed in bulk power

10 Energy Sector Technologies Energy Storage Energy storage potential from a technology perspective has been coming for many years 2016, the U.S. added 221 MW of utility-scale battery storage as the cost of those projects continued to drop. Worldwide, more than 1,300 MW of grid-connected storage was deployed in 2016 Global annual growth rate is expected to rise to 4,700 MW by 2020 and to 8,800 MW by Prices for lithium-ion battery storage are expected to fall below $200 per kilowatt hour, and global storage capacity is projected grow from 4,000 MW today to 52,000 MW by Regulatory and policy has caught up: FERC Order 841, issued February 15 th

11 Energy Sector Technologies Cost (US$/kW.h) Energy Storage Energy storage potential from a technology perspective has been dropping in price and increasing in performance for many years Argonne National Lab: Long incubation period Lithium-ion battery of 1991 looked nothing like the 1970s vision Many (most) good ideas fail Multiple paths forward are critical Two-day Energy Storage conference in Milwaukee, WI on June 12-13, Development of Lithium Batteries Li-ion Li-ion Year 1971 Conceptualization 20 year incubation LiAl TiS 2 Li MoS 2 Ni-MH Ni-Cd 1991 Commercialization Li MnO 2 Li V 3 O Gravimetric Energy Density (W.h/kg) Crabtree, Kocs, Trahey, MRS Bulletin 40, 1067 (2015)

12 Microgrids Energy Sector Technologies M-WERC identified microgrids as a significant emerging trend in 2013 and started working on microgrids at an early stage Century City Microgrid (CCMG) Project: We Energies and Electric Power Research Institute feasibility study and economic analysis wrapping up Issued an RFI in late 2017, 17 responses Respondents meeting in second half of May

13 Energy Sector Technologies Microgrids Navigant Consulting: Several states have launched specific microgrids programs They range from New York and rest of eastern seaboard to California Focus is on community resilience projects and/or utility/private sector business models Despite significant grant funding, many projects delayed due to regulatory issues Utilities and microgrids Proposals for rate-basing of microgrids Several unregulated arms of utilities investing in third-party microgrids outside of own service territories

14 Energy Sector Technologies Energy Efficiency M-WERC covered building energy efficiency in one or our first Strategic Roadmaps; now focused on Industrial Energy Efficiency MEEA: 7,690,760 MWHr of electricity saved in 2016 IL, IA, MI, MN, and OH are top five states for electricity savings IL, IA, MI, MN, and WI are top five states for therms saved Industrial Energy Efficiency technologies Lighting and Controls Compressed Air Systems Motors & Motor Controls Pumps, Fans and Blowers Process & Facility Heating and Cooling Process & Facility Automation and Robotics April 19 th Energy Efficiency conference

15 Energy Sector Technologies Energy-Water Nexus M-WERC has partnered with The Water Council to explore the interaction of energy technologies and water technologies Completed roadmap identified numerous technology growth opportunities: Advanced Membranes Leak Reduction/Infrastructure Replacement Agricultural Water Efficiency Water Recycling Energy Efficiency Systems Integration Energy Efficiency Self Generation Flexible Combined Cycle Plant Variable Speed Drives Midwest EWN Technical Conference in November

16 Energy Sector Technologies Energy-Water Nexus Global market for all EWN related categories totaled an estimated $241 billion in 2015 Total market values projected to increase to $496 billion in This is equivalent to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% overall. This rate of increase suggests a strong overall growth rate; however, this growth rate is not uniform across all sectors, with some categories showing rates well in excess of this average.

17 Energy Sector Technologies Smart Cities / Smart Buildings / Smart Factories Advent of sensors and internet-of-things is changing the way buildings, manufacturing, and even urban life is evolving Smart factories are revolutionizing manufacturing by enabling a 7X increase in overall productivity by Smart buildings we re working to rebuild Milwaukee from the inside out. With energy efficiency projects, our historic existing buildings can save money, create local jobs, and contribute to a more vibrant community. Smart cities a municipality that uses information and communication technologies to increase operational efficiency, share information with the public to improve the quality of gov t services and citizen welfare. July 19 th Event on the three topics above 17

18 Energy Sector Technologies Grid Modernization Grid Modernization and Smart Grid technologies for electric utilities now at the forefront of many PUC / PSC and utility plans. EEI the growth of distributed energy resources (DER) at scale is transforming the use and operation of the electric grid. In order to integrate DER into the grid, while preserving reliability and power quality, the grid needs to be redesigned to give it new functionality: replacing distribution lines and deploying new technologies (e.g., distribution management systems, high speed communications, advanced sensors, energy storage) to provide new capabilities to enable a clean energy future Grid Modernization efforts Minnesota often ranked in Top Five states, e21 Initiative, PUC docket Wisconsin no active docket, but PSCW conducted a survey and interviewing utilities and stakeholders 18
