  1. Presentation by: Allan Grant, VP Business Development, Corvus Energy Topic: Advanced Energy Storage Solutions as a Key to Global Sustainability Energy Efficiency Lighting Sponsor:

  2. Corvus Energy - Background • Li-ion Battery Manufacturer • Exclusive Agreement with Dow Kokamfor Cells Core Competencies: • Module Design and Assembly • Battery Management System • Application Engineering • Many Key, Fortune 500 Customers Key Focus: • Customer value proposition

  3. Corvus Energy Markets • Commercial Marine • Tug boats • Ferries • Off-shore supply vessels • Grid Support • Renewable generation integration • Smart Grid • Remote Community/ Off Grid • Telecom/UPS • Commercial Trucking • Airport Ground Service Equipment • Locomotives

  4. Corvus Energy Customers & Partners

  5. Energy Grid in Developed Nations • Advanced energy storage is a key enabler for long term sustainability • Existing grid built around remote, central generation and a distribution system • Grid is stressed and significant investment required to modernize • Difficult to get more transmission lines into load centers • Distributed energy key to grid efficiency and cost effectiveness • Smart Grid: • Grid devices can now provide information about energy flows • Enabling monitoring and control of distribution systems • Potential to make grid dramatically more efficient, while maintaining reliability • Distributed generation and energy storage is the key to making it work

  6. Smart Grid: Vancouver, Canada Corvus Energy & Alpha Technologies: • Installing 1MWh of batteries at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver beginning in February 2013 • Phase 1: UPS in 3 buildings: • A bioenergy generation facility • A mass spectrometer lab • An advanced energy research lab • Phase 2: Alpha Technologies, Smart Grid system to interconnect & operate the 3 facilities • Dispatch the energy storage to the grid • reduce peak • provide frequency support • provide VAR support • Use the results to plan wider deployments • postpone/eliminate future transmission lines & substation upgrades

  7. Energy Grid in Developing Nations • Advanced energy storage is a key enabler for long term sustainability • Existing grid built around remote, central generation and a distribution system, but unreliable and available only hours a day • Residential, commercial, industrial customers use diesel generators for reliable power • Diesels run almost 24/7 • Most of the time at partial load, so very inefficient • Distributed energy key to increased efficiency and cost effectiveness of diesel generation • Smart Grid: • Energy storage system can detect the gird, when available and use it • When the grid is not available, will run on batteries until depleted and then dispatch the diesel generator to serve load and recharge the batteries • Diesels only run at peak efficiency and cycle several times per day • Dramatically reduces fuel usage and air emissions

  8. Storage Applications in Nigeria Grid is so weak, most homes and businesses run diesels 24/7 Diesel Reduction: • Enables diesels to run at their peak efficiency • reduces fuel usage • reduces maintenance • Enables diesels to be shut down, with the batteries serving the load • Improves power quality • Reduces emissions Residential/Small Commercial (26kWh/45.5kWh) • In February 2013, deploying to a house and a gas station Telecom (26kWh) • Deploying to telecom stations Large Commercial/Industrial (100kWh – 1MWh) • Submitted proposals for golf course, large water treatment plants • Hotels, condominiums expressed interest for large scale systems

  9. Energy Storage is the Key to Sustainability Developed Nations – Grid Dependent • Make grid more efficient • Increase overall system efficiency (capacity factor) • Reduce losses • Peak load reduction • Frequency support • VAR support • Facilitate renewable generation integration Developing Nations – Grid Independent • Make distributed generation more efficient/reduce maintenance • Reduce emissions • Strengthen existing grid and facilitate greater availability “Sustainable Grids That Meet in the Middle”
