Enterprise Energy Management Jeff Dominick May 10, 2011 NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC
A Profound Transformation is Required Today s Energy System Future Energy System Dependent on foreign sources Subject to price volatility Increasingly vulnerable energy delivery systems 2/3 of source energy is wasted Produces 25% of the world s carbon emissions Increasing electrification What s Needed? Credible and objective renewable energy and energy efficiency data and analyses to guide enterprise policy and investment decisions Accessible, affordable and secure Diverse supply options Highly efficient Sustainable use of natural resources Creates American jobs Carbon neutral
Energy Data and Analysis Impact Assessment Benefits and impacts of energy plans, programs, portfolios, or policy options Systems System performance and costs Interfaces and risks Technology/Components Technology and component performance (including life cycle impacts) and cost Resources and Loads Resource availability/ characteristics and loads 3
Examples of Where Data & Analysis Can Add Value in Enterprise Energy Management DoD Security and Energy Requirements and Goals Investment Optimize Investments against requirements Resource availability Site or facility screening Technology option assessment Evaluation of system performance Outcomes Track and report outcomes Post-installation performance assessment Impact/Benefit assessment Constraints (Budget, Infrastructure, Resource Availability
Examples of Data and Tools that Support Investment Decisions Investment Optimize Investments against requirements = Solar Ventilation Preheat Project Candidate Sites Resource Assessment Technology/System Assessment Multi-Site Screening
Renewable Energy Project Siting..from resource potential to economic potential U.S. Renewable Resources What is available? What is accessible? What will it cost to access? What infrastructure is available/needed? How will learning and technology advances change what is economically accessible over time?
