2. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Why Architecture Matters ? It provides an overview It describes the configuration It allows for system differentiation It is the image How are we doing?

3. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Why Architecture Matters ? It’s Image ! It Sells !

4. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Why Architecture/Image Matters ? It communicates –Policy- Regulatory –Finance- Technical –Citizens It defines It visionary It empowers

5. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 And we start with Penetration Penetrating What? –Seriously PC Challenged High, Medium, Low Penetration - Of WHAT? A technically driven term that no longer fits our needs.

6. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Terminology Suggestion Renewable Contribution –% of Energy per Year –Focus on our primary value proposition –Simple to understand –Good for key constituents Policy, Regulatory, Financial Citizens

7. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Terminology Suggestion Renewable Fraction –Renewable Capacity vs Average Load –Currently 1% to over 200% –Easy to understand –More meaningful, more definitive –Good for key constituents Policy, Regulatory, Financial, Technical Citizens

8. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 SmartGrid Has Big Buzz Big Umbrella to cover Big Promises Isn’t this what we are doing ?

9. 2011 International Wind-Diesel Conference March 9, 2011 Here’s an Image that Sell ?
