1. RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURERS BEN D.S. COLLINS RENEWABLE ENERGY DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR 414.831.1421 GREEN@PIEPERPOWER.COM WWW.PIEPERRENEWABLE.COM

2. TOPICS Energy Efficiency Measures Renewable Energy Technologies –Solar Photovoltaics Thermal –Wind Reducing Operating Costs –Photovoltaic Case study

3. ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES Where is energy used?

4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES Where is energy used?

5. ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES What should be addressed: Motor Loads (54%) Lighting (10%) HVAC (12%)

6. RE TECHNOLOGIES - SOLAR Photovoltaics (Distributed Generation - DG) Urban Locations –Virtually Silent –Low Maintenance Lowers Peak Energy Usage Lessens the immediate need to upgrade distribution infrastructure

7. RE TECHNOLOGIES - SOLAR Solar Thermal (Water or Space Heating) Urban Locations –Virtually Silent –Low Maintenance Can directly address: –Process heating needs (11%) –HVAC (12%)

8. RE TECHNOLOGIES - WIND Wind (DG) Rural Locations –Siting Maintenance of 2%-5% of Installed cost Lowers Energy Consumption from the Utility

9. REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Motor Upgrades and VFD’s Reduce motor related energy use by 20% Lighting Retrofits: Reduce lighting energy use by 30% Renewable Technologies lower overall consumption for 20-50 years

10. REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study:

11. REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study: - Assumes $1.25/kWh FOE Incentive 25% max - 30% maximum - Direct Reduction in Operating Costs

12. REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study:

13. RE STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURERS First Step is Reduction through Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Technologies: –Can help reduce operating costs –Need to be part of long-term strategic planning –“Right thing to do” QUESTIONS?
