  1. Sustainable Transportation Activities in New York State Joseph D. Tario, P.E., Senior Project Manager NYSERDA Transportation R&D June 6, 2011

  2. NYSERDA Highlights • public benefit corporation created in 1975 in response to the energy crisis • four primary NYS focus areas: energy environment, economy, & education • ~ 350 employees, four NYS locations, ~$600M annual budget FY11/12 for more info … www.nyserda.org

  3. Historical NYSERDA Funding

  4. Renewable Portfolio Standard (September 2004) • increase renewable electricity from 19% (2004) to 25% (2013) • main tier: medium to large scale generation facilities • customer-sited tier: fuel cells, PV, anaerobic, small wind • $741,000,000 ratepayer collections through 2013

  5. Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI December 2005) • cooperative effort between ten Northeast and Mid Atlantic states • first U.S. cap and trade program aimed at controlling CO2 emissions • 2009 cap of 188M tons for 6 years then a 2.5% annual drop for 4 years • since December 2008, NYS has had 62M tons available annually ($1.75 ~ $3.00 / ton)

  6. EPA Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR March 2005) • decrease SO2 (70%) and NOx (60%) emissions across 28 eastern states and the District of Columbia (in 2015 vs. 2003 base) Battery & Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY BEST January 2009) • industry / academia partnership focused on vehicles, PV & wind • launched with $25M from CAIR Upstate $100M GE Battery Plant (May 2009)

  7. Seven Research Areas NYSERDA Programs • Industry • Buildings • Environmental • Energy Resources • Transmission & Distribution • Environmental & Energy Markets • Transportation & Power Systems R&D Deployment Two Main Divisions

  8. Transportation R&D • focused on product development with cost shared agreements, royalties and an emphasis on NYS businesses and job creation • recent expansion of focus to include services and “Underutilized, Commercial Technology” demos • long standing, collaborative relationships with NYSDOT, NYSTA, MTA, and numerous regional operators

  9. Program Opportunity Notice 2271Advanced Transportation Technologies • $3.5M available in 2011 to support the development, demonstration, and commercialization of innovative transportation products, systems and services. • Announcement in July with proposals due August 30th • $ 50K Initial Feasibility Studies • $ 150K Bench-Scale Product Development • $ 500K Prototype Product Development (< 3 years)

  10. Program Opportunity Notice 2314Advancing Livable Communities through Sustainable Transportation • $1.5M available in 2011 to support projects that reduce transportation energy and the GHG emissions of the existing multi-modal transportation system in NY State. • Announcement in July with proposals due August 31st • $ 20K Workshops, Guidebooks & Outreach • $ 75K Policy Research & Feasibility Studies • $ 150K Underutilized Strategies & Policies • $ 250K Underutilized, Commercial Technologies

  11. NYS 2009 Energy Statistics NYS Petroleum Consumption NYS Fuel Combustion Greenhouse Gases 77% 253 million barrels annually 196 million tons CO2 equiv. Source: NYSERDA 2011

  12. Carrier Transicold Vector 1800

  13. Commercial Vehicle Information Systems & Networks (CVIEW) - Schodack, NY

  14. Smart Roadside Inspection System (SRIS) - Schodack, NY

  15. Smart Infrared Inspection System (SIRIS) - Schodack, NY

  16. Wheel Inspection System Environment (WISE) - Selkirk, NY IEM Corporation - Troy, NY

  17. Progressive Railroading July 2008

  18. Railroad Wheel Thermal Inspection System IEM Corporation - Troy, NY

  19. Propulsion Gearbox for R160 Railcars Alstom Transportation, Hornell, NY • Successful Cost-Shared Product Development, Test, & Demonstration • Helped Alstom win a $2.3B contract for up to 1,600 new railcars – split with Kawasaki • NYS manufactured gearbox • Largest order of its type in the free world

  20. Rail Switch & 3rd Rail Heater Controls Railcomm, Inc., Fairport, NY • Successfully developed and demonstrated 20 units at NYCT • Allows snow/ice melting on an as-needed basis – typically 17 days versus current 166 days annually • Estimated 120,000 MWh annual savings, if widely deployed at MTA • This type of system is now being deployed at NYCT with NYPA funding

  21. 3rd Rail Insulator Cleaning Device Mini, LLC, Bethesda, MD • Dirty insulators are leakage paths for stray electrical current to ground resulting in loss of electrical energy • Also exacerbating infrastructure corrosion due to stray currents • Estimated 22,000 MWh annual savings, if widely deployed at MTA • Study completed, building on TRB work, and proceeding toward a NYCT Demonstration

  22. Short Line Railroads APU Demonstration

  23. Energy Storage for Regenerative Braking • Trackside Flywheel Energy Storage Demo at LIRR • 2.5 MW Trackside storage; Co-funded by NYPA • Pentadyne flywheel modules • 2010 Demonstration at the Malverne Station • Trackside Ultra Capacitor Energy Storage - Prototype • 1 MW Prototype design, fabrication & factory test • Electrical Power worX Inc. – a small, growing NYS firm • Additional award to study ultracaps for on-car storage • Trackside Battery Energy Storage Demo at NYCT • Kawasaki Railcar Co. • 3 MW NiMHGigaCell Battery • 2010 Demonstration at Rockaway Station

  24. High Conductivity Aluminum 3rd Rail Oak Ridge National Labs, Oak Ridge, TN • NYSERDA-facilitated study by DOE ORNL, with MTA, NYCT, LIRR, MNR • 1- 3% electrical energy savings potential for transmitting propulsion power • Additional life cycle savings potential due to manufacturing and recycling benefits of aluminium (est. 50% savings over steel rail) • Additional benefits: providing voltage support and avoidance of new substation requirements

  25. Calverton Rail Access Rehabilitation
