5 Energy Policies Reduce CO 2 emission Eg: EU TARGET 20-20-20 Improve Energy Security - 20% in greenhouse gas emissions (from 90s) Raise share of renewable Raise share of Renewable to 20% Improve Energy Efficiency 20% improvement in energy efficiency Share of electricity generated from variable renewable by region (2 C scenario) Source: IEA, 2014
6 Energy Policies Reduce CO 2 emission Eg: EU TARGET 20-20-20 Improve Energy Security - 20% in greenhouse gas emissions (from 90s) Raise share of renewable Raise share of Renewable to 20% Improve Energy Efficiency 20% improvement in energy efficiency Consumers & Prosumers Engagement, active role CO 2 reduction contribution Energy independence Reduce the bill (eg. ratchet clause) Constraints on existing grids Decentralized Generation T&D Congestion Limited Grid Capacity Ageing infrastructure Long term investments Climate risks Peak Load High ramp-up needs High Negative prices Balancing costs increase Business models evolutions Need Flexibility
7 Flexible Generation Interconnections, New architectures Demand Response Active consumers Prosumers Energy Storage (Source: ENTSO-E) Depends on Regulation, Policies, Geography Fast changing cost and maturity Need LCOS (Levelized Cost Of Storage) to focus on Applications vs. Technologies Software & Analytics Cie., Power Conversion provider, Storage integrators, Storage Vendors Business models Technologies Large Ecosystem
8 Energy Applications (long discharge needs) Power Applications (short discharge needs) VS. Occasional use Frequent use Electro-chemical Gravity Chemical/Gas Pumped Hydro H2, SNG, Mass movement Thermal Flow Batteries Hot/cold water Thermodynamic Zn-Br Batteries: Li, Na, Mg, Molten salts CAES VRB, NaS, Pb, Metal-Air, Ice zebra Hybrid Solution Battery + Supercap/Flywheel Electric Inertia Lithium Capacitors Super-capacitors Flywheel Heat/Electrical systems SMES
9 Built from various sources: Internal knowledge, EPRI, SANDIA, IEA, ENEA, CODA Strategy. Partners.
10 Need technical knowledge on technologies Evaluate technology availability/maturity Needs for modeling and optimization Evaluate feasibility, usage Size Need to take in account safety, social acceptance and environment
11 Work at different scale Various applications Utility scale Various technologies Our position today C&I Buildings > Energy Management System Residential > Plant Controller > Cloud connection/services Datacenters > Grid Connection > Power Conversion > Partnership for Storage Experience: Lead acid, Li-ion, supercapacitors, Flywheel (low speed) Experiments on: Hydrogen, Flow Batteries, Zebra, New Flywheels New Supercapacitors MIC CR RO OG GR RI ID DS
12 Residential scale Millener project Islands PV+Storage 6kVA C&I Buildings Ker grid project Green building 100kVA Utility scale Venteea project Grid connected 2MVA
13 Test a smart solution for residential or small retail creating interaction between PV+Storage and the grid on islands Why Millener project? What will be the future: Centralized vs. Decentralized? What future electrical usages: Distributed or Locally produced and consumed? Which ancillary services? What will be the Business Models? What will bethe players?
14 ID Card MILLENER is a collaborative projects involving French market leaders: From utility From industry With support and sponsorship from public authorities Total budget: 40M SE: 4,7M Full scale experiment: 250+ homes 3 territories : Reunion, Corsica, Guadaloupe islands PV / PV inverters Storage system (Saft) Local microgrid Load control New M2M devices for local Cloud and SaaS for end- user HMI and VPP management Value proposition End-Users are empower to act as Prosumers: Producing their own energies (PV) Leveraging electrical storage and load control to face blackouts (On/Off Grid) Providing advanced services to grid operator acting together as a Virtual Power Plant With MILLENER we: Test and evaluate the future ancillary services for utilities Understand the Prosumer motivations and Business Models Solution

16 User benefits Back -up, self-consumption Energy monitoring Remote Service Platform Utility benefits LV Grid Frequency support Demand-Response Intermittency smoothing x 3 Dispatching Storage VPP PV production VPP End User Interface After Sales Support
17 Battery charged by PV The Battery provide energy to the house owner Battery SoC PV production Customer consumption Storm = 4 days of Off Grid operation + cloudy days Customer has a back-up benefit (hundreds of Wh), limited load (load curtailment) Would need a larger PV surface to increase self consumption
18 Millener conclusion Technical parts are working well Installations are still on going - Up to 2015 End user and utility benefits proven Good social acceptance NEXT: Need to focus on regulation and market structure
19 Syndicatdépartementald énergiesdu Morbihan(SDEM) Owner of 23 000km of low/high voltage line. New head office: a smart building EESS (Electrical Energy Storage Solution) sold by Schneider (conversion system) together with Saft (Li-ion batteries) allow the building to optimally participate to the Smart Grid Integrate electric vehicle charging Maximize usage of locally produced green energy from solar and wind First tests have been done in 2013 Schneider Grid connected and Off grid operation tested PCS Batteries Need a focus on regulation, market structure Saft Li-ion
20 Smart Producer Cloud Based services Be Greener Self-consume Reduce peak power plant needs Smart controlled loads Reduce Energy Bill Tariff management load shifting Peak shaving no more financial penalties Demand Charge Management Electrical storage system Get Paid Participation to load curtailment Participation in ancillary services Face Black Out
