1 Green Vehicles meet the Smart Grid - The Vehicle to Grid Connection Michael Angemeer P.Eng. President & CEO Veridian Corporation Durham Region, Ontario, Canada

2 Veridian Corporation Involvement in Community & Industry 7 th largest local distribution company EDA & Coalition of Large Distributors Energy Cluster Durham Strategic Energy Alliance (DSEA) Ontario Centres of Excellence Energy University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) Energy and Transportation Smart Grid Forum PHEV Task Force Largest Intelliteam implementation in Ontario, > 50,000 smart meters installed

3 Veridian Corporation Vision - We will be unsurpassed in providing innovative energy solutions that are the cornerstone for creating the sustainable communities of tomorrow Mission - We commit to our: Customers To provide reliable, efficient, sustainable energy solutions & services Employees To provide a safe and inspiring work environment Shareholders To provide optimal value and return on investment Communities To provide economic growth Society To make our world a better place in which to live

4 PHEV Experience First Plug-in hybrid solar car in Canada, driven by utility CEO international attention Sponsored by LDC Tomorrow Fund Next generation Li-ion batteries gives 50 km electric range Work with UOIT on Electric Vehicle fleet and vehicle to grid connection sponsoring grad student Key technology for cleaner cities, economical transport and Ontario economy

5 Simple message Clean energy powers car

6 Why PHEV Why now? Oil prices rising peak oil US energy independence Green economy jobs Reduce local pollution in cities Reduce GHG All car companies are working on electric vehicles

7 Smart Grid meets Smart Transportation Local renewable power integrated with control of local demand, energy storage and electric transportation

8 Smart Grid Issues with electric transportation Buildings Neighbourhoods & Substations Bulk system & Generation sources

9 Buildings Homes will accommodate PHEV without modification Existing commercial buildings and multi-unit residential will experience problems with overloading Building and electrical codes will have to accommodate certain percentage of electric vehicles Charge rate becomes a factor for utilities Key will be real-time demand control of charging coordinated with renewables & storage Ontario needs to become plug-in friendly quickly

10 Neighbourhoods & Substations Local smart grid control by utility Community energy planning considering energy sources & uses and transportation

11 Bulk System Demand response with PHEV charging TOU rates, smart metering Critical peak pricing or rebates Generation sources Renewables Off-peak hydro and nuclear Daytime charging local and mobile renewables

12 Charging Control Standard plug being worked on with car companies Communication required to home/car for charge control, billing Protocols Home Plug, Zigbee emerging for vehicle and home area network Smart meters may need to be enabled for communication

13 Grid Support by Vehicle Near term battery technology will not allow vehicle to support grid Car companies focusing on duty cycle of vehicle and battery warranty Advances in batteries may make grid support possible for spinning reserve and few peak days per year (<10 occurrences per year) Key factor will be cost of 2 way interface

14 100 km PHEV What s next Higher efficiency in wheel motors, lightweight materials All electric cars Faster charging & more capacity advanced batteries with ultra capacitors Plug-in, solar, hydrogen fuel cell trains, buses and ferries Hybrid Aircraft Cleaner cities, cleaner Ontario, better world

15 Thank you Michael Angemeer P.Eng.
