Motivations for Microgrids
Reliability Impact on business Grid reliability is worsening Resiliency Ability to withstand challenges and continue operation Value of microgrids during Superstorm Sandy Economic Best energy mix is 80-89% from microgrid and 11-20% from main grid Sustainability/emissions reduction Microgrids during Sandy Brevoort Toweer – CHP microgrid NY Presbyterian Hospital Fairfield University Campus Co-Op City Campus Princeton University
10
Why Microgrids? Support integration of smart grid & renewables
Ease application of combined heat & power Local generation reduces electricity losses Disperses investments between central and local assets Assist in reducing peak load Serve critical loads Provide local power quality & reliability Promotes community involvement & energy independence Provide local power during outages Supports main grid Provide ancillary services to main grid Manage variability of loads and renewables locally
11
Cost of Electric Service
$363 billion is annual electric bill in US (2013) $200 billion is paid by commercial and industrial firms Value of business losses is $80 - $150 billion annually (LBNL and EPRI studies) Interruption Cost Estimate Calculator (ICE)
12
Types of Microgrids End user Utility distribution Remote/island systems Size 2 MW to 40 MW are economical – average and above cost of electricity (COE) < 1 MW are economical where COE is higher Hawaii, Alaska, Northeast Portfolio Mix Balance resources with high capital cost and low O&M with resources with low capital cost and high O&M
13
Common Technologies in Microgrid Projects
Generation and Energy Storage Renewable energy (PV, wind) Distributed generation (microturbines, fuel cells, diesel) Combined heat and power Energy storage (thermal storage, batteries) T&D Communications (wireless, PLC, internet) Advanced metering infrastructure & smart meters T&D equipment health monitors (transformers) Power inverters Consumers Plug-in electric vehicles and charging stations (PHEV/PEV) Smart appliances & programmable thermostats (DR/DD) Home Area Networks & In-Home Displays Energy management systems
14
Barriers to End User Microgrid Deployment
Very young in financing lifecycle Majority of microgrids involve third-party financing Requires long-term service agreements (PPA) Regulatory environment has not been favorable Microgrids must be “good citizens” Conflict in allocation of utility costs to accommodate microgrids Value proposition may be unclear Technology Optimize controls to improve value Rapidly improving technologies (e.g., energy storage) Private wire laws
