Sources and Loads Dispatchable Sources Oblivious Loads Non-Dispatchable Sources Aware Loads 4
Grid Economics Most expensive, least efficient energy Latency involved in bringing capacity on line (or probability of exceeding) 5 Base Capacity Intermediate Capacity Peaker Capacity Load-following Supply Demand Response: Incentivize reduced loads during times of peak demand Demand Side Management: Shift demand to reduce peak loads Load Duration Curve
Grid Economics (or probability of exceeding) 6 Supply-following Loads Variable loads, supply aware, based on improved power proportionality, exploitable slack to shift/schedule Load Duration Curve Increasingly Variable Supply (Renewables) with Reduced Base Supply

Proposed Breakout Topics 1.What is the most effective energy (information) technology to be developed in the next decade that is likely to have the greatest impact on global warming? 2.What is the most effective way to transition LoCal technology developments? Open source, standardization, start-up commercialization? 3.How would you know a good Building OS if you programmed one? What are the figures of merit/attributes of a 21st Century Building OS? 4.Markets vs. Optimization--how should loads and supplies best be matched? 5.What new industries will be possible if high penetration renewables give us cheap but seasonal abundant energy? 6.How do you build & design a net zero grid for the moderate sized island?
Proposed Breakout Topics 7. How do we design for shiftable loads and to enhance power proportionality, particularly at the building/campus/societal scales? 8. What is slack, and how do define slack for a variety of loads? 9. What are useful kinds of energy data analytics, at the building, campus, and societal scales? What are the right figures of merit worth computing? How do you quantify sustainability, for example? 10. What is the minimum operating energy for a specific building, e.g., Soda Hall, and how close are we to achieving the minimum possible? 11. Making the energy case for datacenters: do operators care about energy efficiency? Maximizing utilization vs. energy savings. 12. Buildings vs. computers: which kind of a load should we focus on in the future? What are the high payoff opportunities in computing systems vs. the built environment?
