All Energy 2019 Microgrids as a Service 23rd October 2019

Onsite or Offsite - Microgrids versus Offsite PPA's The emerging corporate fashion, in Australia, for purchasing large licks of energy in the last year has been the Offsite Corporate PPA. This follows a well established trend in the US and Europe, which we seem to be catching up with. However, we should ask what is the best way to achieve and overall energy solution that enables both long term energy savings and aids the transition to the future grid in Australia. Onsite or Offsite?

LARGE-SCALE MICROGRID DESIGNS - ONSITE DER, RENEWABLES, AND DECARBONIZATION

iQHub

This document discusses the planning and design of a large-scale microgrid to power a life sciences and logistics site. Key points include: 1. Site load modeling is critical to planning in order to understand peak demand and energy needs over time as the site builds out. Electric vehicle infrastructure requirements will also significantly impact microgrid design. 2. Onsite distributed energy resources like solar, battery storage, and combined heat and power can meet energy needs and provide resiliency. A staged infrastructure buildout provides flexibility for tenants. 3. Microgrid architecture must accommodate a flexible design that can scale over time and interface with the utility grid. Near term infrastructure focuses on reliable energy delivery while hedging against

Vinod tiwari-blockchain-for-microgrid-transactions

james hamilton

The document discusses Power Ledger, a blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer energy trading platform. It describes how Power Ledger works, allowing consumers to trade electricity locally through a distributed ledger in a secure and transparent way. This helps encourage renewable energy adoption, reduces costs for consumers, and preserves the value of existing grid infrastructure. The blockchain ensures fast, low-cost settlements of transactions without a centralized authority. Microgrids and virtual power plants are also discussed as applications of this local energy trading.

Oracle Systems _ Kevin Mcisaac _ The IT Landscape has changes - have you_.pdf

InSync2011

The document discusses how the IT landscape has changed due to trends like Moore's Law, server virtualization, cloud computing, and the evolution of integrated systems. It suggests these "mega trends" are driving infrastructure towards more integrated solutions from single vendors, rather than best-of-breed components from multiple vendors. While integrated systems may offer benefits like faster time to solution and lower risk, barriers to moving from existing heterogeneous environments include issues like application compatibility, existing infrastructure investments, and re-engineering processes.

Trends in Distribution Automation

Schneider Electric

Optimizing distribution network operations involves leveraging leading industry trends such as platform consolidation, IT/OT convergence, big data analytics, and distributed energy resource management. An advanced distribution management system (ADMS) provides a comprehensive network management solution that can integrate monitoring, analysis, control, optimization, planning and training tools on a common infrastructure. Utilities are adopting solutions that leverage internet of things connectivity between intelligent field devices to provide layers of information exchange and control. Distributed energy resources like solar, wind, storage and microgrids can provide utilities alternatives to building new generation and transmission assets when used for peak relief, voltage support and grid resiliency.

The panel discussion focused on the opportunities for distributed energy storage in disrupting the electric utility industry. Distributed energy storage is being driven by the growth of solar PV installations and batteries. It allows retailers to become integrated solution providers and distributed energy storage providers to offer new services. These include aggregated generation during peak periods, deferring network upgrades, and demand management. Distributed energy storage also enables new business models for distributors like microgrids and zone substation deferral through centralized batteries. Dynamic management of distributed storage fleets will create additional revenue streams for multiple stakeholders in the industry.

Day-3, Mr. Arvind Gujral, BSES

IPPAI

This document discusses technical losses in power distribution networks and strategies to reduce them. It notes that distribution losses in India are significantly higher than other regions at 8-10% and identifies several causes of losses, including distribution component design and loading conditions. Reducing losses requires detailed analysis and interventions like improving transformer star ratings, load balancing, and power factor correction. Time-of-day tariffs and demand response programs that incentivize shifting load to off-peak periods are discussed as strategies to flatten demand curves and reduce peak losses. Energy storage is presented as another approach to load shifting that could help optimize asset utilization and lower average power costs.

Schneider Electric

An expert discusses integrating renewables and storage into distribution networks using an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS). Key points covered include: 1) ADMS allows utilities to analyze, control, and optimize renewables and energy storage systems on the distribution network. 2) Integrating accurate weather forecasting with ADMS helps maximize the benefits from renewables. 3) Microgrids containing distributed energy resources and demand response can be managed and optimized by ADMS.

Moving Applications to the Cloud

Gary Irwin

Data centres don't move to the cloud, applications do. In presentation, we use common sense, commercial triggers to move to the cloud and ask when does a move to cloud make sense and when it doesn't. Following on, we will discuss in detail how an application CAN move to the cloud and when it should be shot to be put out of its misery. We'll also talk about money - a LOT since someone has to pay for something. How does cost and complexity relate to cloud adoption planning? etc.

V2G Cohort: The Future

KTN

Hosted by KTN, this event brought together the projects that were funded as part of the £30 million UK government funding to support and develop vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies - aiming to enable electric cars and other vehicles to deliver electricity back to the smart grid, to light homes and power businesses. A great opportunity for local councils, fleet owners (looking to go electric) or those in the Energy and Infrastructure sectors. The event looked at: - Benefits and learnings from the V2G cohort projects; - V2G Grid connections (as it was noted that the G99 process could be elongated at times) - Update from Ofgem (including a Q&A session) Find out more: https://ktn-uk.co.uk/news/v2g-vehicle-to-grid-cohort-the-future
