  2. The Energy Challenge

  3. Modern Electricity Grid • Centrally Controlled • Large-scale Central Generation • One-way Power Flow • Homogeneous Power Quality, Reliability

  4. Electricity Generation in the US Source: EIA, 2006 Statistics

  5. Decreasing Costs Source: Dan Arvizu, Meeting the Renewable Energy Challenge: What Will it Take to Reach Solar PV’s Ultimate Potential, NREL, 2006

  6. Growth of Renewable Energy Source: GlobalData

  7. Renewable Energy: Intermittency 1.5 MW Wind Turbine 4.6 MW Solar Installation Source: Jay Apt and Aimee Curtright, “The Spectrum of Power from Utility-Scale Wind Farms and Solar Photovoltaic Arrays”, CEIC 2008

  8. Energy Storage

  9. Energy Storage Use

  10. Distributed Intelligence • Management of distributed energy resources • Decision-making • Price data from utilities • Energy/power information locally • Forecasting based on past data • User customization • Demand response

  11. Intelligent Power Switch (IPS)

  12. LoCal Principles • Non-disruptive Adoption and Integration • Black Box Operation • Well-defined interface (Narrow Waist Model) • Diversity of scale and implementation • Plug And Play • Lessons from the Internet

  13. Power Generation Energy Storage Host Load LoCal Networking Intelligent Power Switch (IPS) energy flows PowerComm Interface information flows Energy Network

  14. Networking Advantages • Market Interactions and Energy Sharing • Utilization of lowest cost available resources • Market pricing • Increased aggregate reliability • Distributed generation and storage • No large-scale outages • Displacement of services from electric grid • Reliability, power quality provided as needed

  15. Challenges • Energy Storage • Cost • Round trip efficiency • Lifetime • Regulations • Restrictions on energy sharing • IEEE Standards

  16. Cost of Reliability Source: C. Marnay, LBNL

  17. The Goals of LoCal • Renewable Generation • Distributed intelligence • Peer-to-peer energy sharing • Market behavior
