  1. Energy for the futureSmart Grids for the Department of DefenseSteve Gitkin - Siemens Sustainable Design Wednesday, October 5, 2011

  2. Megatrends are causing a shift to electricity Electrification Green mobility Renewable energy production Global trend Megacities Fossil energy resources Global warming

  3. DoD Policy and Federal Legislation – Some Components may be in Place DoD Policy, EPACT 2005, E.O.13423 Requires Renewable Production Electric, Gas and Water Metering Requirements Vehicles; 20 percent reduction In annual petroleum consumption and AFV requirements Systemic optimization/Smart Grid Energy Reduction and Sustainable Facilities Requirements Systemic optimization/Smart Grid

  4. DoD Objectives Optimization of the energy mix Efficiency increases along the entire energy chain Systemic optimization/Smart Grid Systemic optimization/Smart Grid Smart Consumption and Energy Security Systemic optimization/Smart Grid

  5. What does this mean for Department of Defense Installations

  6. Today’s Examples of Smart Grid Components with Federal Entities Rooftop Solar PV • Dept of VA Austin, TX: 125kW • Post Office in Houma, LA : 80 kW • Gallup Federal Bldg, NM: 55kW • GSA Region 7 Dyess Air Force Base • Thermal Energy Storage • United States Department of the Interior • National Park Service • Monitoring a backup battery bank and the generator used to re-charge batteries when voltage falls below pre-set levels • Monitoring usage of potable and non-potable water, solar thermal, propane and metered power

  7. DoD Energy Modernization is Critical

  8. Renewables Nuclear 54% 68% Why Grids Must Change Growth of energy demand +63% 33,000 TWh By 2030, power consumption will grow to roughly 33,000 TWh - a 63 percent leap! The population is increasing and prosperity is on the rise, causing a substantial increase in the use of electrical devices, equipment, and machines. 20,300 TWh Fossilenergysources 2008 2030

  9. DoD Energy Modernization Climate change, the need for CO2 reduction, and thus more renewable energy Immense demand for energy will need to be managed to a greater extent by renewable sources. Increased focus on sustainability to protect the climate and conserve ever-scarcer natural energy resources.

  10. DoD Energy Modernization The need to replace outdated infrastructure • With an additional 60% increase by 2030, the power grids will be stretched well beyond their capacities. • Today, in the U.S. power grid: • 70% of transformers and 60% of switchgear are over 25 years old

  11. The Definition of Smart Grid The DOE defines the smart grid as: “The system that delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology to save energy, reduce cost, and increase reliability and transparency." The smart grid overlays electricity distribution with: • Applications for businesses and customers • Bi-directional power • Bi-directional communicationand metering • Electric vehicles and EV Infrastructure Siemens’ definition of the Smart Grid is: A transformation that will enable demand management, reliability gains, resource efficiency, customer participation, and cleaner energy across the grid.

  12. A True End-to-End Smart Grid TopologyPresents Opportunities for Innovation and Efficiency

  13. Innovative technologies for the smart grid

  14. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Integration of renewable energy sources Renewable energy sources will help protect the climate by reducing CO2 emissions. They will produce a shift in the energy mix toward the use of renewable energy.

  15. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Management of fluctuating in-feed Load The requirement is a flexible and optimally controlled grid system that integrates and balances fluctuating in-feed of individual power producers. Wind power infeed 0

  16. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Microgrids Grid independence for small island units without access to the main grid, remote locations, or critical Department of Defense installations require optimized network management to orchestrate the mix of producers and consumers.

  17. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Virtual power plants Potential for integration, management, and control of a number of dispersed individual generation sites into “virtual power plants" for regional aggregation and participation in energy markets.

  18. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Electric vehicle infrastructure Electric car numbers will increase – each one adds the equivalent load of an air conditioned house in Texas during July A new power infrastructure has to be constructed: residential charging units, public charging stations, eParking garages, etc.

  19. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Smart buildings Buildings account for ~40 percent of today‘s total energy consumption. Modern buildings will not only consume or store energy – they also will generate energy on their roofs, in their solar-active windows and facades, or with a combined plant in their neighborhood – all managed by a Building Management System.

  20. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Management of bidirectional power flow In the future, power consumers (large buildings, residences with solar panels) will become power producers with storage capacity. This will transform them into energy suppliers (prosumers) and make them part of a new bi-directional energy system.

  21. Innovative technologies for the smart grid Smart metering and transparency Flexible fees for consumption of electricity, water and gas necessitates real time information. Advanced meters with an integrated bidirectional communication function will information on consumption and prices will allow consumers to manage their costs and suppliers to manage their network.

  22. Smart Grid topics along the whole energy conversion chain Electro- mobility Industrial Light Commercial Efficient fossil power generation Wind Power Residential Transmission Distribution Photovoltaics &Concentrated Solar Power Large Commercial Generation Transmission Distribution Smart Grid Applications Energy Consumer Solutions Renewable Generation EMS DMS Demand Response Inside electric car Efficient fossil Generation Substation Automation Substation Automation Microgrids Building & Plant Automation Carbon Capture Power Quality Products Power Quality Products Electric Vehicle Infrust.
