❯❯ Distributed Deneration in DC
Microgrids: Energy Generation for
Bi-directional Power Over Ethernet
NICHOLAS MORGAN
VP, Business Development, Morgan Solar Inc.
Power over ethernet has historically been used to
power VOIP telephony equipment, but recent advances
have increased the amount of power that
these systems can carry and added the option of
bidirectional power. At the forefront of this discussion
- how innovation can take building automation,
monitoring controls and efficiency improvements to
the next level, as every power draw in an office is also
a high throughput data port.
❯❯ Accelerating Vehicle Electrification
with Energy Storage for EV Fast
Charging
QUINCY EDMUND LEE
Founder and CEO, Electric Era
Grid Modernization for fast charging infrastructure
will cost utilities $132B of investment by 2030. Vehicle
electrification is being delayed by this slow and costly
process. End of circuit high-power storage with
load prediction software lowers power requirements
by half helping utilities scale charging infrastructure
faster, for less capital, while also creating a more resilient
grid. This approach combines the advantages
of best in class energy storage engineered for power
consumption at EV fast charging stations with novel
load prediction software to create a solution for utilities
that helps scale charging station infrastructure
across the grid.
❯❯ The Financial and Grid Benefits
of Bidirectional Electric Vehicle
Charging
NATHAN HOLDER
Senior Energy Engineer, Advanced Energy
At the seams of vehicle-grid integration, residential
and commercial buildings with bidirectional electric
vehicle (EV) chargers can unlock new value streams
through a variety of applications. This session will examine
a recent pilot project, conducted by Roanoke
Electric Cooperative, Fermata Energy and other
clean energy organizations, that demonstrated the
potential of this technology, quantifying the value of
vehicle-to-building services using a 15-kW bidirectional
charger made by Fermata. Topics will include
reducing behind-the-meter building costs through
three use cases: load following, peak load reduction
and backup generator support while the building
was islanded. Electric Drive Theater: Fuel Cell and
Battery EVs
❯❯ Grid Reliability: Impacts and
Solutions for Critical Services in the
Era of Electrification
CONNOR BOTKIN
Manager,
Product
Technologies
Innovative technologies and new approaches are
necessary for utility operators, project developers
and policymakers to mitigate risk and modernize the
grid to create a resilient fueling system that provides
equal benefit for urban and rural communities. This
session will explore novel technology approaches,
highlighting a project developed through a California
Energy Commission (CEC) BRIDGE grant to deliver
energy services such as backup power, direct
integration with renewables, and bi-directional power
flow.
❯❯ How Open Automated Demand
Response is Changing the Energy
Market
CHINEDU IGBOKWE
Executive Vice President, Electriq Power
Electricity grid operations are by definition dynamic
and variable. To maintain stability, grid operators must
be able to keep demand, generation, and power losses
in balance. To address the highly unpredictable
nature of decentralized generation resources and
loads expected to come online in the coming years,
the OpenADR program was developed. n An initiative
from multiple organizations and utilities OpenADR isa
system of communication and interface protocols in
which utilities gain increased control of power flows
on the grid, while maintaining flexibility and freedom
for consumers. This session will cover how this tool enables
utilities to exchange price and reliability signals,
implement demand response programs, such as Critical
Peak Pricing, Capacity Bidding, and Residential
Electric Vehicle Charging DR , allowing customers to
save money and optimize energy efficiency]
