  3. U.S. Energy System

  4. Human Development Index vs. Energy Usage

  5. World Energy GDP vs. Energy Consumption 14,000 UAE 12,000 10,000 Kuwait Iceland United States 8,000 Canada Singapore Finland Trinidad & Tobago Energy Consumption (thousand metric toe per capita) Sweden 6,000 Norway Australia Saudi Arabia Belgium Mozambique Netherlands New Zealand Germany France Russia Czech S.

  6. Energy Efficiency, Conservation • “A clean world takes a lot of dirty work” Mike Rowe – Dirty Jobs – Discovery Channel • There is plenty of work to be done in Kansas for 50 years on energy efficiency and conservation

  7. ARRA funding from KCC • Revolving loan fund for Residential and Light Commercial • Two options • Payments on the utility bill • EE loan through participating banks • Details • Average dollar amount of upgrade around $6000 with $1500 usually paid for upfront by homeowner • Requires an energy audit

  8. Meridian Way Wind Farm 201 MW - 2008 Smoky Hills Wind Farm 250 MW - 2008 Central Plains Wind Farm 99 MW - 2009 Spearville Wind Farm 100 MW - 2006 Elk River Wind Farm 150 MW - 2005 Gray County Wind Farm 112 MW - 2001 Flat Ridge Wind Farm 100 MW - 2009

  13. Biomass Production Long Range Goal: Develop a Continuous Process for the Production of Algal Biomass Public sources of water/wastewater Fossil fuel-based electric power plants Areas meeting criteria for sun exposure & temperature Pate, R., “Biofuels and the Energy-Water Nexus”, Sandia National Laboratories, AAAS/SWARM, April 11, 2008, Albuquerque, NM

  14. Energy Supply Chain (Stylized) Fuel Extraction Fuel Processing Major Emitting Sources All Direct Sources All Indirect Emission Sources Refinery Power plant Mine/Drilling Factory Residential/Commercial Upstream (fuel producers) Downstream (consumers) Source: Dallas Burtraw – Resources for the Future

  15. Innovation is on the consumer side • Dynamic Pricing-Pricing for incremental and time of use, not bulk sale of averaged price electricity. • Smart Grid defined • Self healing/correcting • Motivate customers to be active grid participants/controllers of grid • Resist attack-physical/cyber • Increased power quality for modern uses • Accommodate all generation/storage options • Facilitate markets • Optimize all assets/operations

  16. So, you want to make money in energy solutions • Ray’s advice for what it is worth • Get as close to the consumer as you can • This is not production solutions, it is consumption solutions • The answer is simple: Consumers want to “TiVo ®” energy • Let them • Real time pricing • Instant consumption feedback • Information • Remember Dirty Jobs……
