1 Energy Sector Transformation Dialogue Advancements in Smart and Clean Energy Technologies How R&D Addresses Advancements August 5, 2015 Fernando Pina Manager Energy Systems Research Office Energy Research and Development Division

2 Clean Energy Technologies Microgrids Energy Storage Electric Vehicles Demand Response

3 Vision for the Future Electric Grid 3

4 Microgrid Small-scale power grid Grouping of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources Can operate in island mode or grid-connected if desired Can connect and disconnect from the grid if desired Acts as a single controllable entity to the grid 4

5 Santa Rita Jail Microgrid Demonstrations Borrego Springs UC San Diego Camp Pendleton 5

6 What we are learning Stakeholder Survey Top 10 Barriers Average score Lack of policies or regulations that enable microgrids 4.1 Interconnection rules impose limitations on microgrids 4.0 Utility franchise rights inhibit microgrid deployment 4.0 Existing retail tariffs do not allow all microgrid benefits to be monetized High cost of meeting interconnection requirements 3.8 Lack of direct access to wholesale markets do not allow all microgrid benefits to be monetized Lack of utility understanding of the impacts of end user microgrids to the utility Adequacy of IEEE technical standards to address integration and operation of microgrids Lack of clearly defined roles and responsibilities between utility and microgrids Lack of standardized method to establish cost and value of microgrids to various stakeholders

7 RESCO Renewable Energy Secure Communities Building Blocks of Renewable-based Energy Secure Communities (RESCO) Wind Solar PV Energy Efficiency Demand Response Biomass Biogas Renewable Energy Heating & Cooling 11 projects from 2009 solicitation Integration projects (8) Community Geothermal Low-impact small hydro - Exploratory Stage - Pilot Stage Smart Grid Energy Storage - Implementation Stage Collateral projects (3) Source: Valentino Tiangco, June 2008 California Energy Commission Community Communities that secure their energy supply (electricity and fuel) through indigenous RE resources Use of locally-available renewable resources to meet 100% of communities energy needs

8 Planned RD&D Investments Will Target Priority Areas and Barriers to Achieving the State s Energy Goals 8

9 Energy Storage Technology Demonstrations

10 California's Energy Storage Roadmap Energy Commission Actions: Refine valuation methodologies and make models publically available Disseminate information on currently available models for energy storage valuation Lead a working group to standardize telemetry requirements Research/evaluate improved IOU telemetry requirements Lead a working group to establish a certification process for integrated metering Create a framework for CAISO and utility to share meter data Lead a working group to standardize certification requirements

12 Electrification of the Transportation Sector 12

13 Electrification of the Transportation Sector: Los Angeles Air Force Base Vehicle-to-Grid Demonstration This is the first large-scale research project to demonstrate full V2G capability. The goal is for the base to use electric vehicles to co-optimize building load and participation in the California ISO s ancillary services markets. These capabilities will be integrated and optimized using software also being developed through the project. This project will allow other entities to benefit from these advances and lessons, and will help improve the value proposition of owning electric vehicles.
