Electric drive vehicles, including plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, were discussed across three workshops. The workshops addressed the business case for these vehicles, battery technologies, and a roadmap for developing fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen infrastructure. Key conclusions were that different technologies and business models are needed for various consumer groups, policy support is required to establish large markets and make the technologies economically sustainable, and while challenges remain the potential exists for electric drive vehicles to become more cost competitive and disrupt transportation systems over the long term with the right strategies.
Calculating the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and the Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) is key to understanding how market size changes in relation to subsidy level, technology cost, and financing costs. This presentation provides an introduction to these measurements and uses evidence from Connecticut's Green Bank (CEFIA) to show how these calculations can impact product design and green bank planning.

IT and Demand Response programs can be used to achieve substantial energy savings. How does the future look? This presentation will outline both the potential of these IT enabled programs taken from a range of studies collected globally, as well as map the political and market requirements needed to make them a reality for Europe.
Energy efficiency: a profit center for companies! Leonardo ENERGY
Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the ener-gy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and fi-nancial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Ener-gy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collabora-tion Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public program-mers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Am-sterdam.

DSM (Demand Side Managament) has changed since it was first introduced in the 1980s as an active policy instrument to make energy systems perform better and more economically. In the years since and primarily in the early years of the new millennium technology has provided new opportunities with smarter applications, decentralised power making use of local renewable sources and with a booming IT for management. We rather talk about Integrated DSM (IDSM).
Policy challenges to make energy systems sustainable and reduce (prevent) climate change has been more pronounced with the Paris accord as the ultimate example. Still market uptake is slow and well beyond expectations (and needs).
It is time for DSM to shape up and deliver!

2016 IndustRE Workshop - 3 DSM Flexibility Assessment MethodologyLeonardo ENERGY
www.industre.eu
September 2016 Stakeholders Workshop
Simplified methodology to determine the value of industrial flexibility in given electricity market conditions.
Relying almost entirely on energy from variable renewable energy sources (vRES) will require a transformation in the way power systems are planned and operated. This webinar will present the report "Power System Strategic Flexibility Roadmap". This work outlines steps for overcoming the challenges in creating power systems with the flexibility needed to maintain system security and reliability while relying primarily on variable energy resources. The work is largely a synthesis of the many reports and studies on this subject. It seeks to summarize that body of work for a less technical audience that will need to put in place the policies, technical changes, and institutional systems necessary to make the power system of the future a reality. For this work we gathered opinions from a dedicated power system flexibility advisory panel, through two meetings, e- mail exchanges, and an online survey.
Framework conditions for the integration of flexibility options Leonardo ENERGY
Until high RES-E shares are reached flexibility is not a bottleneck. However, it is important to actually develop the options that have been modelled to increase efficiency in the short-term and provide the options needed in the long-term.
To provide an efficient amount of flexibility barriers that distort competition, hinder options from entering the market or create unnecessary demand need to be adressed.
The presentation provides an overview of the relevant areas that affect the development of flexibility options as well as suggestions on how the framework for flexibility can be designed.

How demand for flexibility will develop in the German power systemLeonardo ENERGY
The Webinar presents the results of a research project on flexibility in the German power sector. It analyses the flexibility demand with a rising share of RES-E and compares different flexibility options.
The project consists of a model-based scenario analysis for 2020, 2030 and 2050 and applies the electricity system model PowerFlex together with a European network model to analyze import and export as a flexibility option.
Flexibility becomes an issue only in the scenario 2030 with 60 % RES-E. In 2020 additional flexibility can increase efficiency, but is not essential to run the system or to integrate RES-E.

This session helps you understand the direction the market is taking and how you should plan your future battery policy.
Batteries are the hot topic of the moment, but so far few are being installed and commissioned at scale across the sector. This is not only a technology issue but a finance problem as at present it is often difficult to make the financial case. This session will not only focus on how battery technology is developing but also on how changes in the electricity codes could increase the income generated by batteries.
Batteries installed in medium to large sites across the country could be used to balance the local and national grid. The use of batteries to reduce demand at peak has a value that through the balancing mechanism unit (BMU) can be paid to those operating batteries. This new income stream will change the way you use, own and contract batteries.

Battery technologies are central to delivering significant advances in a wide range
of industries, from electric vehicles to renewable power. This has catapulted
battery technology to the top of the priority list for many players, leading to a huge
boom in investment, as companies try to build key positions in the market.
However, this investment frenzy threatens to lead companies to rush forward
without asking themselves key questions. What will the landscape look like when
the dust settles? Which technology will dominate the battery space in the future,
and what are the potential scenarios for future growth? How do I (as a chemical
company, utility, investor, battery manufacturer, automotive manufacturer, mobility
provider or government / regulator) prepare for the future and position myself to
benefit?
There is no simple answer to these questions, as they depend on a range of
factors, from the speed of new innovation to the ability to reduce costs of existing
technologies.

Mini-Case Response – Mini-Case #18
Introduction:
This mini-case response is concerned with Mini-Case #18: “Standards Battle: Which Automotive Technology Will Win?” as described on page 478 in the Rothaermel 3e text. The relevant text chapter is Chapter 7. The material presented within the mini-case briefly describes efforts by several major automobile manufacturers and newer-entry manufacturers to address the issue of replacing the internal combustion engine as a primary source of power for personal automobiles. The mini-case explains that there is currently no consensus among the manufacturers regarding how to proceed and that the pathway forward is not necessarily clear-cut.
Key problems/issues identifiable within the mini-case include:
· Is the impending demise of the internal combustion engine a foregone conclusion and, thus, the alternative power projects by the manufacturers a necessity or is this work more exploratory in nature?
· Assuming that the internal combustion engine does have only a short remaining lifespan, is there a solid understanding of what criteria any new power source would need to meet?
· Is it possible to determine which company and/or technology is likely to be successful, under this scenario – or is too little known at present?
Thesis statement: Based on an analysis of the available mini-case materials and the relevant literature, it is likely that routine alternatives to the internal combustion engine will be needed within a relatively short timeframe. It is equally likely that multiple alternatives will be under exploration and offer legitimate benefits for consumers in the future with a lengthy period of technology optimization involved before a clear “winner” emerges.
Background:
To help place this mini-case into perspective, it is useful to step back briefly from the materials presented to examine the factors that have caused the automobile industry to reach the crossroads described in the scenario in the text.
The internal combustion engine has been the “gold standard” for self-propelled vehicles for more than 100 years. Automobile manufacturers have consistently improved their offerings, resulting in higher levels of power, greater reliability, and length of service; and also, greater efficiency with less environmenta.

Ev worksnohp 1.1,2,3 electric drive in the context of future transportation summary
1. Electric Drive in the Context of Future Transportation
(includes workshops on Business Case, Batteries and Fuel-Cell
Vehicles)
Challenge Bibendum: Workshops 1.1, 1.2, 1.3
18 May 2011
2. Workshop 1.1: what is a “business case”
for electric-drive vehicles?
Scope: electric drive (e.g. hybrids), plug-in vehicles, fuel cell vehicles
Principles:
company has to make a profit, therefore there must be enough consumers
willing to pay (and thus gain their own “profit”).
This will require a substantial market, to achieve high volume
manufacturing (especially electrical storage)
There are different market segments with different requirements, the
“business case” will vary significantly across consumer groups
Different technology solutions are appropriate for different market
segments; we need a portfolio approach
Business environment matters:
Oil prices, emissions/safety regulations, tax regimes, start-up/investment
costs and risks can strongly affect the case
3. One size does not fit all:
three types of consumers
Top down (early adopters)
high end, emotional purchases
Payback not critical; may be willing to pay a premium; need high quality, image
May be small or very small market share
Bottom up (mass market)
highly cost sensitive; early adopters likely to be high-mileage drivers
First cost probably needs to be comparable to competing technology; identify low
cost applications and niches
New business models: car sharing; pay by kilometre; battery swapping
Price incentives, non-cost incentives needed to grow market, until costs decline
significantly; need soft landing for incentive programs
Commercial, public fleets
Primarily economic decision (assuming duty requirements met)
High turnover vehicles require very short payback times; some submarkets
(buses?) may be able to use longer payback times
Non-cost incentives may be very powerful: weight limit increases, access to city
center, delivery zones
4. Conclusions regarding business case
Electric drive/plug-in/fuel cell vehicles are disruptive
We need to think differently, build a different economic paradigm
Need a long term vision with appropriate short term strategies
Policy packages must be “smart”, holistic, sustainable
Needs to include RD&D, key investments (e.g. infrastructure), purchase
incentives
Performance-based incentives
Self-financing incentive systems
Finally, Is there a business case?
Yes for some situations, applications. Over time there will be more and
better business cases
But we need more information: we need to better understand consumers
and market segments to know if we can achieve large scale, self-sustaining
markets
5. Workshop 1-2 Batteries for EVs
Technology
Different technologies and chemistries are appropriate for different electric
drive configurations
Business case
Up front cost of batteries gives rise to new approaches, i.e., battery leasing,
battery swapping, vehicle to grid (V to G is considered problematic at this stage of
technology)
Capturing residual value of batteries via secondary market use (stationary grid
applications for example)
Factors for success
Safety
Manufacturing scaledemand pull
Connectivity: locating charging on the fly via telematics, charging at night when
prices are low etc
Awareness of the benefits of electricity as a fuel
Continued technological innovatioin to increase performance and enable bi-
directional flow with the grid
6. Workshop 1.3: Roadmap for the development of fuel
cell for EV and hydrogen as an energy carrier
Key Messages
Achievements in Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technologies
•Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) provide zero emission mobility at comparable range
(up to 800 km) and fast refueling times (within 3 minutes).
•Performance of FCEVs fulfill customer needs today (e.g. power, range, refueling time).
•Costs still have to be reduced; companies have cost reduction roadmaps for FCEVs in
place to reach the same Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to ICE by 2020.
The Role of Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier
•Hydrogen is available today. CO2-free hydrogen production capacities (e.g. based on
renewable energies) for mass market deployment need to be scaled-up.
•Hydrogen is needed for the decarbonization of the energy system including
transportation.
Market Introduction of Hydrogen as a fuel and Fuel Cell Vehicles
•OEMs are committed to commercialize FCEV as part of a future powertrain portfolio.
•Industry is working together to harmonize ramp-up of cars and hydrogen infrastructure.
•Appropriate policy and funding mechanisms are needed to facilitate market
introduction.
•Hydrogen infrastructure is doable and in the mid- to long-term economically viable. A
commercial public-private framework for implementation needs to be developed which
shares investments and risks among the key stakeholders.
