  1. The Evolution of the Microgrid • A microgrid is an integrated energy system with: • Co-located power generation sources • End-use loads • Typically includes on-site energy storage • Connection to the main grid • Macro benefits of the microgrid • Integration of renewable energy into the grid • Increased reliability and security of power • Accelerated development of the smart grid • Types of microgrids: • Institutional/Campus • Commercial/Industrial • Military • Community/utility • Remote off grid • Microgrids are here to stay • Pike Research projects capacity of 3.5GW at 2000 worldwide sites by 2016

  2. The Power Analytics™ Enabled Microgrid • Power Analytics core competencies • Robust modeling and optimization of complex dynamic electrical systems • Predictive analytics • Advanced modeling of renewables, including state of the art Photo-voltaic modeling and forecasting • Unprecedented simulation and contingency planning capabilities • Power Analytics Microgrid Master Controller software • Continuous analysis and optimization of microgrid • Seamless integration of on-premise and distributed energy sources • Utility, solar, wind, storage, co-generation • Ensures mix of power sources maintain reliability and availability of the microgrid

  3. 45MW UC San Diego Campus-Wide Microgrid

  4. Utility Value Proposition Power Analytics Microgrids Aid RPS compliance Improve power quality and reliability incrementally at the local level Backup and stabilizer for the grid Load shifting and supply side management • Accurately model distribution side of the microgrid • Understand how distributed resources will affect the grid • Optimize distribution • Create long term customers by enabling microgrid* • Optimize hedging* *Deregulated markets

  5. Commercial & Industrial Value Proposition Power Analytics & Microgrids • Integration of renewables into energy network • Unlock the benefits of the wholesale energy market • Cost savings through effective energy management • Fully understand power consumption • Optimize reliability and performance of your electrical network • Identify and correct inefficiencies in equipment, power system design, and operation • Accurately measure return on energy efficiency initiatives
