3 Grid Modernization Off grid Solutions Critical Infrastructure Workforce Development

4 Energy Innovations at ASU A plug and play environment for advanced energy research, development, and education Simulation and Design Environments Grid Modernization & Microgrid Test Bed System/network design Real time simulations Flexible microgrid designs Campus scale solutions Power hardware in the loop Intelligent distributed controls Test bay for new equipment Testing and refinement

5 Grid Modernization Assessing the impact of business as usual residential solar PV Challenge: Potential impact of residential solar assuming no technical, financial, or policy change (2015). Solution: Quantify and contrast potential future scenarios in US cities. Net load 500,000 homes System-wide metrics (25% penetration) Negative change Utility revenue loss 1.2% for each 1% increase in PV

6 Grid Modernization IoT solutions for remote connectivity and control of building EMS Challenge: Smart inverters lack capability for remote monitoring/control. Utilities forced to take generation. Solution: Provide seamless remote connectivity and interoperability to solar and other DER assets. Web based interface for viewing data and control First generation prototype of ASU Box hooked to solar PV inverter using RS485 Real time data

7 Grid Modernization Smart Nodes with building level EMS controller Challenge: Greater uncertainty in loads due to increasing amounts of consumer side technologies. Solution: Integrate control of all technologies in intelligent home EMS (HEMS); simple external portal. Each 5 20kW Smart Node control solution is suitable for buildings, campuses, off grid sites, and mobile power systems On board controls can dispatch assets with simple commands from the utility such as energy cost, net load set point, ancillary services

8 Grid Modernization Smart Networks through distributed intelligence Challenge: Market approaches to DER are missing opportunities for expanded value propositions. Solution: Provide automated and manual capability for scheduling and ancillary services. Multiple Smart Nodes form a Smart Network to provide aggregate level benefits such as voltage support, frequency stability, congestion avoidance, black start capability, peaking reserve, and more Advanced energy management enabled by each Smart Node allows a utility or third party to turn each building Node into an energy source or energy sink without affecting consumer experience

9 Grid Modernization Rapid design and evaluation of on grid and off grid systems Challenge: Long time to design and quote. Each project is unique; start from scratch. Project management. Solution: Single tool combines analysis of generation, distribution, loads, economics. 90% time reduction. GIS layout Cash flow Project management Training guides Time series Power flow XENDEE is web based GUI for OpenDSS

10 Critical Infrastructure Placement and control of utility scale microgrids for grid resilience Challenge: Single point and multi point failures increase risk of wide spread cascades. Solution: Optimize location & control of >1 MW microgrids for voltage stability following contingency event. Voltage stability based control reduced stress over the grid IEEE 30 bus Microgrids under substations provide support for line 18

11 Critical Infrastructure Resilience of critical infrastructures Challenge: Weather events, cyber attacks, or kinetic attacks expose vulnerabilities across infrastructures. Solution: Design and real time simulation environment for resilient, interdependent infrastructures. Infrastructure Models Resilient Infrastructure Simulation Environment (RISE) Human Interaction Power Water GIS Maps SCADA Gas Transportation Threat and Resiliency Simulation Infrastructure Management Social Cyber Interdependency Threats Stressors Real time Adaptation & Response

12 Critical Infrastructure Placement and control of utility scale microgrids for grid resilience Challenge: Auxiliary networks in power plants may be susceptible to faults external to the plant. Solution: Identify conditions in which aux motors break/stall based on fault type, location, timing, duration. Auxiliary motors Red: three phase fault adjacent to plant (Bus 3) Black: three phase fault 200km away from plant (Bus 5) 300 MVA generator

13 Off grid Solutions Containerized microgrids for disaster response Challenge: Lack of critical infrastructure after disasters such as Matthew (Haiti), Maria (PR), Sandy (US). Solution: Turnkey microgrids packed into 20 and 40 containers for rapid deployment. Scalable kw. Ease of transport Unpacked microgrid Dispatch and AGC Rapid deployment 20 kw solar PV 20 kwh Li ion battery 20 kw diesel generator Microgrid controller Video:

14 Off grid Solutions Potable water for refugee host communities in water scare regions Challenge: Syrian refugees; insufficient potable water; limited access to grid; grid outages. Solution: Custom 3.5kW inverter, VFD motor drive, and controls for reliable water treatment. Water System Reverse osmosis + UV Power System Grid + solar PV Overview: Water scarce regions of Lebanon and Jordan 18 refugee host communities Water kiosks serve 2000 people daily 36,000 people total affected Technical Outcomes: Reduce energy costs by 25 50% Increase system efficiency by 15 30% Provide energy autonomy up to 2 days Technical Specifications: 2 kw Solar PV and battery storage 1,300 Liter/Hour reverse osmosis system Grid connection optional

15 Off grid Solutions Universal charge controller for off grid architectures Challenge: 1.4 billion people without power; lots of solutions; high cost and no interoperability. Solution: Custom 500W inverter for battery charging, solar home, DC microgrid, and AC microgrid. Urban Applications Rural Charging battery from solar panels Major features Inputs: 12/24/48 VDC, 110/220 VAC PWM charging from solar PV Current limiting Low voltage disconnect and reconnect High voltage disconnect Temperature control Lead acid and Li ion chemistries Pre pay metering WiFi/900 MhZ communication Efficiency > 90%, cost < $50

16 Workforce Development Microgrid boot camp for civilian and military applications Challenge: Rapidly growing market needs require short courses and continuing education credits. Solution: One week introductory course for design, installation, operation, maintenance, and safety. Infrastructure basics Simulation based design Hands on integration Interactive tours

17 Workforce Development Cyber and kinetic vulnerabilities in electrical infrastructure Challenge: Cybersecurity threats rapidly evolving with uncertain entry points and impacts. Solution: Real time simulations with regional assets and transmission lines; competitive attack defend.

18 Workforce Development Scaling to meet a growing global workforce Challenge: A $40B market without sufficient trained personnel to realize market potential.
