Building Bridges to Net Zero Benefits and Challenges of Microgrid Technologies in Multifamily Buildings Dom Lempereur Director, Technical Services Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. 27
Benefits to Building Owners Provides greater control over energy consumption and cost management Dollars savings generated in several ways Decreased energy usage (higher efficiency systems) Participation in Demand Response programs Secured State and Federal rebates Reduced insurance premiums Source: smartgrid.gov MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Benefits to Building Owners Additional Benefits also accrue In the event of extended power outages In the form of avoided evacuation, emergency services and repair costs MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Benefits to Residents Microgrids provide a dependable source of back up power, allowing security and the convenience of remaining in place in case of power outage Offer ownership through innovative incentive models Offer improved air quality via clean distributed energy solutions MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Benefits to Surrounding Neighborhood Provides backup power to critical infrastructure vulnerable to local power outages Offers a scalable systems that can supply smaller buildings Improves power quality and reliability Drives economic development MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Challenge #1: Economics Implementation costs are expensive Utility savings can t be the only deciding factor Often requires third party financing (challenge of PPA agreements in subsidized housing) Operation and maintenance: equipment may require acquiring new expertise MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Challenge #2: Contracting With External Entities Can strengthen a microgrid BUT could also be very challenging to implement Sizing microgrid to include critical facilities Energy procurement Liability of entity hosting microgrid system MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Challenge #3: Technology Choices CHP vs. Emergency Generators Combustion technologies vs renewables MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #
Challenge #4: Legal and Regulatory Compliance with a variety of municipal, state, and federal requirements Requires extensive coordination with local utility (standby tariffs) Public Right of Way MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO #

Microgrids and Resiliency Our recent focus has been on resilient microgrids: Black Start Capability Functional During Prolonged Outages Electrical Resiliency Thermal Resiliency Remember: Boiler plants need electricity to function! MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO Microgrid Site Selection 29 OCT 2015 37
Resiliency: Energy Requirements On site renewables can play a role, especially with storage, but not to the exclusion of other DER Renewables and/or storage are not adequate for long term outages (several days or more) Thermal energy needs far exceed electrical needs, especially in the Northeast Consider the example of a NYC multifamily housing campus in 2013: ~350 units and ~400k sqft (next 2 slides) MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO Microgrid Site Selection 29 OCT 2015 38

Backup Generators CHP is a Better Choice Backup generators: Are dead assets sitting unutilized most of the time Are not providing value while idle Are more prone to failure in their time of need Do not provide the cost offsets of avoided thermal energy consumption that s available from CHP systems Generators are sometimes are needed to fill niche gaps in functionality or capacity (e.g., quick startup for healthcare) MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO Microgrid Site Selection 29 OCT 2015 43
