6 What Solar PV Could Have Provided During Recovery Emergency Solar Potential Estimate PV installations by zip code # of installations in affected areas: 281 installations at 5,500 kw Nearly 50% of the solar installations On average PV generated electricity at 35% of full sunny day capacity 6,500 kwh of solar energy per day

7 2009 Report: Mobile & Special Purpose Emergency PV Power

8 DG Technologies Resiliency Gas/Diesel Generator Solar (PV/SHW) Cogeneration Tidal & Wave Resilient Systems DG Deployment Coordinated, Integrated, Dynamic, Smart Examples Dynamically Controlled Inverters Grid islanding critical systems Controllable loads for emergency power optimization Wind Energy Storage Microturbines Fuel Cells

9 Working Areas for Integrating DG Hardware Technologies Inverter retrofits System design guides Smart microgrids & grid islanding Policy & Legal FAQs Standards Policy Recommendations Resilient DG Energy Infrastructure Software Technologies Optimization Apps Communication across Platforms SCADA: utility & DG integration Economics & Finance Deployment models Finance calculators Lost productivity vs DG investment

10 Discussion: Hardware Technologies Hardware Technologies Project Examples: Inverter retrofits System design guides Smart microgrids & grid islanding Dynamical Controlled Inverter + _ Islanding & Microgrids Integrative System Design

11 Discussion: Software & Communication Technologies Software Technologies Project Examples: Optimization Apps Communication Across Platforms SCADA: utility & DG integration Optimization and Communication Apps SCADA & Utility DG Integration Changes in power-flow magnitude and direction Proper control of voltage, frequency, and power quality Whether there is a single PCC or multiple PCCs Protection schemes and modifications

12 Discussion: Policy, Legal & Regulatory Barriers Policy & Legal Project Examples: FAQs Standards Policy recommendations Discussion Ideas: Emerging technology interconnection & emergency generation standards E.g. Deploying Dynamically Controlled Inverters to retrofit DG systems NY Standard Interconnection Requirements & Islanding for grid resiliency Encourage Facility & Microgrid Islanding Moreland Commission Recommendations: Accelerate The Modernization And Security Of The State's Critical Energy Infrastructure Adjust Regulatory Structures And Policies To Encourage Efficiency, Distributed Electricity Generation, And Storage Develop Long-Term Asset And Workforce Inventories

13 Discussion: Economics & Finance Economics & Finance Project Examples: Deployment models Finance calculators Lost productivity vs investment in resilience DG Dispatchable DG for grid congestion and ancillary services combined with emergency power options User type analysis based on required loads Financing for grid integrated emergency power systems with energy storage

14 Realizing a Project-Based Smart DG HUB Hardware Technologies Inverter retrofits System design guides Smart microgrids & grid islanding Policy & Legal FAQs Standards Policy Recommendations Smart DG Hub Software Technologies Optimization Apps Communication across Platforms SCADA: utility & DG integration Economics & Finance Deployment models Finance calculators Lost productivity vs DG investment Next Steps A project-based Smart DG HUB focused on transitioning to more resilient energy infrastructure: Working groups (Legal/Policy; Hardware, Software, Finance/Economics) Collaboration funding Pilot projects
