  4. Customer Generation Team Activities October 2012 • Provide education on alternate technologies and associated rules and tariffs to employees, customers, and community groups. • Perform engineering economic analyses on customer generation projects, at customer request. • Provide presentation support to clients and customers. • Provide technical expertise and engineering economic analyses for internal SCE programs and organizations, such as Customer Energy Efficiency & Solar (CSI, SGIP and NEM programs), Renewable and Alternative Power (RAP), and Energy Supply & Management (ES&M). • Provide technical expertise on regulatory and legislative proceedings to help shape outcomes that may impact our customers and/or the company. • Identify regulatory/legislative impacts and educate clients and customers.

  5. Account Manager/Executive Role • Identify and monitor customer generation interest and activity • Facilitate exchange of information • Assist customer’s decision process • Track progress by creating and updating Customer Care Self-Generation Opportunity in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system October 2012

  6. Customer Generation Team Role • Meet with customers to identify needs • Obtain copy of generation proposals, and Power Purchase Agreements • Perform Engineering & Economic Analysis • Meet with customer and Account Mgrs/Execs to present analysis, risks, and benefits October 2012

  7. When Should Account Management Contact Us? • Examples of when Account Management should contact us: • Does the customer have significant interest in Self Generation? • Does the customer have a corporate initiative to “go green” by installing renewable generation? • Is the customer discussing Self Generation with vendors? • Is the customer inquiring about rebates (Self Generation Incentive Program and California Solar Initiative)? • Is the customer receiving proposals for self-generation? • Important Reminders: • The Customer Generation team cannot perform Engineering Economic Analyses if the customer has a signed contract or letter of intent (LOI) • Customer must provide a copy of the generation proposal before work can begin October 2012

  8. Customer Meeting with Self-Generation Decision Makers • Provides Opportunity to Discuss: • Current customer needs and issues • Details of customer’s operation • Tariff changes/issues • Generation costs, risks, and benefits • Energy Efficiency programs and incentives • More Important Reminders: • SCE is neutral overall regarding Self Generation • SCE does not promote or discourage Self Generation • SCE recommends that customers pursue EE/DR first October 2012

  9. Results of Engineering & Economic Analysis • Identify economics of generation • Detail generation alternatives • Facilitate customer decision process • Reveal underlying issues and needs • Dispel misleading information October 2012

  15. Internal Combustion Engines IC Engines are derived from industrial diesel and automotive type engines Most mature of all DG technologies Range in size from 100 kW to 3,000 kW High potential for emergency standby Easily fueled by diesel, natural gas, or biogas Installed costs range $1,500-$2,500/kW Heat Rate at full capacity 9,400-14,000 Btu/kWh Distributed Generation Technologies October 2012

  16. Small Gas Turbines A small gas turbine is essentially a small jet aircraft engine Range in size from 1,200 kW to 10,000 kW Installed costs range $1,300-$1,800/kW Heat Rate at full capacity 10,000-15,000 Btu/kWh Distributed Generation Technologies October 2012

  17. Microturbines Same principle as small gas turbines Range in size from 30 to 250 kW High potential for cogeneration Installed costs range $2,500-$3,000/kW Heat Rate at full capacity 11,500-15,000 Btu/kWh Distributed Generation Technologies October 2012

  18. Fuel Cells Operating principle is conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy Energy conversion using fuel such as hydrogen and natural gas without a combustion process Environmentally benign Range in size from 200 to 2,800 kW (typical installation – may be stacked to configure any desired size) Potential for cogeneration Installed costs range$6,000-$8,500/kW Heat Rate at full capacity 8,000-9,500 Btu/kWh(most efficient DG Technology) Distributed Generation Technologies October 2012

  19. Photovoltaics Operating principle is conversion of sunlight directly to electricity Simple off-grid systems include PV modules, batteries, mounting structure, and associated wiring Environmentally benign Range in size from 10 to 1,000 kW (typical installation – modules may be linked to configure any desired size) No cogeneration potential Installed costs range $4,500-$7,500/kW Distributed Generation Technologies October 2012

  20. Operating principle is conversion of the wind’s energy to electricity Typically wind turbines are rotating blades installed in areas with high, steady winds Each wind turbine range in size from 10 to 1,000 kW (individual turbines may be connected to produce a wind farm to yield a much larger capacity) No cogeneration potential Installed costs range $850-$2,500/kW Distributed Generation Technologies • Wind Turbines October 2012
