28 Priority Technology Areas
29 San Diego State University Imperial Valley Proof of Concept Testing & Demonstration Center John McMillan SDSU Co Director SD REIN u 1(209)
30 SDSU IV Overview SDSU IV has two locations in Imperial County, Calexico and Brawley. The Brawley campus hosts an 11,000 sq.ft. building surrounded by 200 acres of agricultural fields zoned G/S (Government/Special Public Zone). Research development is a permitted use on the property making it available for renewable energy research, demonstration & proof of concept. Ariel view of the SDSU IV PoC Center
31 Center Overview The Proof of Concept Testing and Demonstration Center is able to provide leasable R&D space to a variety of renewable energy technologies and researchers as it outfitted with: Demonstration fields Sufficient power supply IID power grid connection Water & waste water management processes Training building with smart classrooms/seminar rooms 6MW NRG Community 1 Solar Generating Facility
32 PoC Testing & Demonstration Who are our ideal partners? SD REIN companies Cleantech firms Mature or startup firms University based researchers What type of technologies? Primary generation sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels and?) Energy efficiency Storage systems Infrastructure & support systems
33 Demonstration Projects Hyperlight Energy Ultra low cost solar thermal technology currently demonstrating through a CEC PIER Grant and partnered with SoCalGas. SD REIN Members Micro wind turbine manufacturer that leverages a novel 9 blade design to reduce cut in speed and noise. Develops energy management software for orchestrating new & legacy power equipment to reduce the cost of energy and maximize ROI.
