1 Distributed Energy Resources William F Tyndall Duke Energy Commercial Strategic Initiatives 1

2 United States Energy Challenges Aging power plants and distribution infrastructure Climate change Changing customer expectations Globally 1 billion live without access to electricity Energy reliability is challenge in many countries Climate goals require substantial decarbonization of electricity supply 2

3 Working definition of distributed energy landscape Energy Extractors Decentralized energy resources Energy efficiency Services and solutions to optimize total energy consumption for the same level of services Decentralized generation Integration Ability to design, engineer, develop, install and manage all the energy needs of a customer (includes micro-grid) Generating electricity 'behind the meter' and on-site where energy is used Demand management Lowering or shifting electric usage of end-use customers at peak or times of dispatch Distributed storage Storing energy/electricity, 'behind the meter' and onsite typically paired with DG 3
