  3. ARPA-E Mission Enhance the economic and energy security of the U.S. ReduceEnergy-RelatedEmissions • Improve Energy Efficiency • ReduceEnergyImports Ensure U.S. technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies

  4. ARPA-E’s Work • Find and fund high-risk, high-impact projects • Invest in the best ideas and teams • Will tolerate and manage high technical risk • Accelerate translation from science to markets • Proof of concept and prototyping Reduce Energy-Related Emissions To enhance the economic and energy security of the U.S. To ensure U.S. technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies Mission • Reduce Energy Imports • Improve Energy Efficiency 4

  5. Software technologies to leverage advances in computing and data communications to optimize grid operations, match power delivery to real-time demand, and find effective ways to manage renewable power sources and grid-level power storage. Hardware advancementsto more efficiently direct the flow of power on the grid, help stem energy losses, and enable the grid to be more responsive and resilient.

  7. Topology Control Aligned to GENI Goals $20,000 Original Feasible Set $15,000 New Feasible Set GenB (MW) GenA (MW) • Potential Impact Example: • ISO-NE: 689 generators, 2209 loads, 4500 bus, 6600 binary variables • Topology control (DC-OPF) to optimize state of only4 transmission lines • Solution Time: 82 hrs [CPLEX on dual-core 3.4GHz, 1GB RAM] • Savings 5% for summer peak conditions/ 7% for a medium load summer condition. Hedman, K. W., O’Neill, R. P., Fisher, E. B., and Oren, S. S. (2011), “Smart flexible just-in-time transmission and flowgate bidding,” IEEE Transactions on Power Systems,Feb 2011. Implementation of TC in the entire US electrical grid could save of $1-2 billion in generation costs per year and reduce transmission investments needs.

  8. Reasons for ARPA-E Support and Desired Outcome • ARPA-E backs project because: • Potential of topology control • Approach can make topology control real (not theoretical) by engineering a commercial solution • Best-in-class team • However, project only succeeds if: “we develop products that are deployed in the marketplace and widely used”

  9. T2M Timeline Upcoming Tech-to-Market Activities

  10. Our Expectations • Active participation – discussion and dialogue, not monologue • Product definition – help ensure the team develops a technology that addresses your needs • Continued contribution – showing up once not enough; reaping the benefits from this technology requires continued engagement, interaction, and willingness to provide feedback and guidance
