EPRI Integrated Grid Pilots: Building an Industry Repository of Integration Approaches, Benefit-Cost and Business Models Utility Scale PV Utility Scale PV + Storage Distributed Storage Microgrids EV Charging Infrastructure Customer Side Technologies 6
Why Integrated Grid Pilots and EPRI? An Integrated Approach Uses consistent, transparent methodology intended to be broadly applicable Goes considerably beyond technology demonstrations Performance, costs, environmental and operational impacts and business models Assesses societal and grid benefits that far outweigh technology benefits alone Requirements and approaches for integration at much larger scales EPRI s Role Develop requirements for integrated approach Help implement approach For planned or existing technology deployments Collect and analyze data to assess costs and benefits Inform and benefit industry research programs to enhance industry platforms and standards for integration 7
