Thoughts About the Grid of the Future and Realities about the Future of the Grid
The document discusses the challenges facing today's power grid and how energy storage can help solve them. The aging grid is struggling to integrate renewable energy and handle demand growth. This causes blackouts that cost businesses over $150 billion per year. Energy storage can provide grid flexibility through frequency regulation and ramping capacity to integrate more solar and wind power. As technologies improve, energy storage will play an even greater role in creating a self-healing, highly flexible grid of the future.
India Wind Storage Opportunities Walawalkar FinalRahul Walawalkar
The document discusses opportunities for energy storage in India to address infrastructure challenges. It notes that India's GDP and electricity generation capacity are growing rapidly, with expected additions of 200-450 GW of new capacity in the next 5-10 years. There is also exponential growth in renewable energy like wind and solar due to policy incentives. However, this presents challenges in integrating intermittent renewables into the grid and maintaining stable grid frequency. Energy storage could help bridge supply-demand gaps, integrate renewable energy sources more smoothly by balancing fluctuations, and help comply with the tightened frequency standards in India's new grid code.

Summary results of EPRI's post-combustion capture retrofit studies - Desmond ...Global CCS Institute
This document summarizes the results of post-combustion carbon capture retrofit studies conducted by EPRI on various coal-fired power plants in North America. It finds that retrofitting carbon capture technology can lower the levelized cost of electricity compared to new plants with capture. Specifically, the Intermountain Power Plant in Utah was identified as a good retrofit candidate due to its high baseline efficiency, age, and other favorable characteristics. Key assumptions of the study, including economic parameters, are also outlined.
The proposal outlines plans for a 4MW wind farm project for Mountain View Electric Association consisting of 6 GE 2.5MW wind turbines with an average output of 35,000 MWh per year and a maximum output of 15MW. The total installed cost is $26.65 million with financing over 15 years at 5.06% interest. Key project milestones include completing site preparation by September 2011, turbine assembly from September 2011 to January 2012, and commissioning handed over to MVEA in February 2012.
On-grid PV Opportunities in University Campuses: A case study at Nazarbayev U...Luis Ram Rojas-Sol
The universities around the world are taking every day a more decisive role in fighting global warming. Indeed,
many campuses are not only teaching established and disrupting clean energy technologies, but also are practicing
their lectures. For example, the University of Arizona, USA, leads the campuses with 28 MW of installed On-Grid
PV systems (http://www.aashe.org/resources/campus-solar-photovoltaic-installations/top10/). Furthermore,
campuses of emerging universities, as Nazarbayev University (NU), located in Astana, Kazakhstan, which is
developing with the firm aim to become a leader world class research university in the heart of Eurasia, are taking
this commitment as well. Additionally, being Kazakhstan the host of EXPO-2017 which has the motto: ¨Future
Energy¨, it is natural to evaluate if NU campus would be a good candidate to support and exhibit, with demonstrated
technical and economic advantages, its own On-Grid PV in-campus system. Therefore, in this investigation, a
feasibility study of installing PV panels on the rooftop of School of Engineering at NU is carried out. A 24 kWp rooftop
PV installation with a 14.7% capacity factor, capable to export 31 MWh of electricity to the grid per year, is assumed
to be the system for the purpose of this analysis. The financial analysis has a horizon of 20-year lifetime and 25%
debt ratio financed at 15% interest over 20 years. Selection of appropriate equipment and calculation of financial
outcomes under three different scenarios or policy options are presented. The policies or scenarios corresponded
to having or not government grants (GG) and having attractive Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) rates in order to determine their
financial benefits. The GG scenario was stretched up to consider 30% of the total project cost and FIT was varied
from current offered FIT rate by KEGOC (Kazakhstan utility company) of 36,410 KZT/MWh to a more attractive rate
of 70,000 KZT/MWh. Results demonstrate that current scenario of FIT is marginally favorable (IRR on Equity: 15.1%,
Benefit-Cost Ratio: 1.37, Equity Payback: 8.8 years), while the 30% of incentives on top of current FIT moderatedly
improves the benefits of the project (IRR on Equity: 20.9%, Benefit-Cost Ratio: 1.47, Equity Payback: 7.2 years).
Nevertheless, upgrading current FIT to 70,000 KZT/MWh, even without incentives, proved to be enough to
dramatically improve the outcome of the project for investors (IRR-Equity > 28%, Equity Payback of 5 years and
Benefit-Cost ratio > 3.6), demonstrating that with a subtle change in policies, Nazarbayev University as many other
campuses in the country, may easily justify the investment in their On-Grid PV systems and therefore, become part
of the “green” universities in the world with direct contribution to tackle climate change.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Hawaii Project Case Study

Time-shifted production from PV plant
! PV used to charge 1 MW EnerVault Fe/Cr RFB Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
• Optimized size of PV dedicated to BESS charging
to nearest 0.1 MW as function of storage duration
• No ITC applied to the PV & Battery
! Priority for PV is to charge battery
• PV optimized to maximize amount of Shifted PV
• LCOE determined for Shifted PV; project expenses
normalized to Shifted PV Energy Delivered
• PV production > 1 MW or after BESS reaches 100%
SoC can be sold as Direct PV to improve project economics
! Results scale with BESS size
• e.g. 3 MW BESS has same LCOE & trends (% change) but 3X PV size, CapEx $

KIUC Grid Status
! Conventional generation is mix of oil & hydro (~ 5 MW)
• cost of oil generation ~ $230/MWh (translates to
~ $1/liter at 40% generator efficiency and no O&M)
! PV meets almost 50% of daytime Summer load
! KIUC current and projected PV satisfies daytime loads
• deploying short-duration storage for voltage stability,
frequency regulation, and ramp support
• high interest in increasing % RE and more PV
! KIUC open to offers for time-shifted PV to supplant lower
efficiency generators

! To Achieve 100% RE island
• PV + BESS + Bio-diesel
! EPC/PV mfg
⇒ 4 to 5X larger PV installation
⇒ e.g.: 22 MWdc vs. max 4 to 6 MWac
allowed w/o storage
! EnerVault system
• approx. 1/3 of TTL project
• w/ full 24 hour backup
(+96 MW-hr)
• adding energy ~ 2.5X more cost-
effective than adding power (PV +
BESS chg.)
! Benefit of system to rate payers
⇒ 40% reduction in generation costs
vs. incumbent diesel gen sets
⇒ Controllable future costs
⇒ Market sustainable tourism
