Presentation Transcript

  1. UCSD/SDSC Sustainability – Leveraging Real-time Data Infrastructure

  2. Microgrids, Datacenters and Power • Real-time visibility – demand, consumption, billing • Why should money be spent to obtain the information? • Where do I keep the data? • Who needs to know the numbers? • How should I design the infrastructure?

  3. The 1% Idea • Wind Turbine - $5M - $7M per stick (2-4 year old installation) • Wind Plant – 50 – 100 turbines • Wind Fleet – 10 – 20 sites • Total Investment (low end) - $2.5B • Generation Capability – 1.5MW/turbine = 750 MW • Potential Revenue – 750 MW * 30% * $60/MW ~ $118M/year • Increase Reliability/Availability/Production by 1% • > $2M additional revenue/year

  4. UCSD Microgrid (RESCO) - Architecture

  5. UCSD Microgrid – PMU Project SDG&E High Side Metering cabinets (3 xfmrs) Existing East Campus Substation SDG&E / UCSD equipment divider fence Low side Control room

  7. UCSD Microgrid – Summary, Capabilities • Data Volume – 67,000+ streams and growing (see spreadsheet) • Data Frequency – >100 streams at 60 Hz, 1s and 1 min. • Analysis – Performance Equations, Totalizers, PI DataLink/Excel, ACE • Visualization – Web Portal, PI ProcessBook, PI CoreSight • 3rd Party Data Consumption – DMZ Server

  8. UCSD Microgrid – Power Home Page

  9. PI CoreSight – Dashboard, KPIs

  10. Future Work at UCSD/SDSC • Integration of Other Renewables @ UCSD • Synchrophasor – Saleable? • Synchrophasor Network (many, many nodes) • Power Quality – Unique OEE • Grant in partnership with Dr. Natasha Balac • Versify Environment – Jeff Erikson
