Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Technology Improvements Enable Efficiency DOE provides R&D, Test facilities, and limited demonstration and development support IT, RE, and power electronic improvements are shifting how electricity is generated, distributed, and consumed Old: Customer load dictates Utility generation New: Customer owned generation, utility/customer communication enables collaboration, efficiency, and resiliency

Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Utility Example Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) and SolarCity SolarCity sponsored inverter load rejection overvoltage (LRO) tests in ESIF, results allow HECO to double allowable rooftop PV on distribution system Photo from SolarCity Benefits to military housing and installation

Energy Exchange : Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade Government Microgrid Example Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar microgrid project to increase energy security, provide islanding capability, and reduce energy use & costs Raytheon leading project to integrate Zn/Br flow battery and Intelligent Power and Energy Management (IPEM) technologies IPEM controller tested in both grid-connected and islanded modes with generation, energy storage, and load simulators in NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility in 12/14 Demonstration at MCAS Miramar is anticipated to be in 2015
