Future Vision of the Energy Ecosystem An Energy Ecosystem Driven by Innovation Tomorrow‘s Weather: Sunny, windy, and warm. My wind generation forecast will be 220 MW offered at $40/MWH to the market Wind Nuclear & Desalinization Plant Offshore Wind Market Price Profile: Day Ahead Market Prices are low for all periods tomorrow. Solar Hydro Power Low Emission Power Plant Tidal Buoys Biomass Control Center Natural Gas to be at $11.40 per 1K cu ft. and Energy prices are low so no benefit to run CCGT Commercial Offices & Storefronts Microgrid Tomorrow is a day off and since there is plentiful low cost solar we will recharge fleet of PHEVs. Microgrid Power Substation Photovoltaic's Parking Facility with PHEV Recharge Outlets Manufacturing Plant (High Consumption) H2 Filling Station Microgrid It is warm enough to need to run air conditioning but with adequate solar, no need to buy MW from the market. Congestion from Manufacturing Load forces reconfiguration of the distribution grid to protect transformer assets.
