ERS at PSEG LI October 2015
Given the uncertainties surrounding energy prices and pending environmental regulations, there is a growing need for industrial facilities to address energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability, and process efficiency in their planning. Operations teams and management staff often fail to adopt long-term strategic energy master plans because of resource constraints and the need to focus efforts on near-term capital improvement projects and maintenance. This can result in higher-than-necessary energy costs, unanticipated compliance issues, and lower profits. This presentation will explore a tailored, strategic energy master-planning process that will guide manufacturers in making informed decisions about their facilities’ infrastructure, energy management practices (such as ISO 50001 and SEM), sustainability goals, and process energy efficiency improvements (energy per unit of production).
The first step is a visioning process with decision-makers to identify the desired outcomes, define the constraints, and create an information exchange culminating in a work plan that defines the development of the energy master plan. Next, a process of benchmarking, measurement and verification (M&V), assessment, analysis, financial deliberation, optioning, prioritization, and scenario analysis is developed. This results in an actionable master plan that manufacturers can implement over multiple years.
Subsidizing the installation of demand enabling technologies
This document discusses various technologies that can enable demand response and kW reduction. It outlines options such as energy efficiency technologies, information and reporting systems, direct load control, distributed generation, energy management systems, and lighting technology options. For each category, it provides brief descriptions of specific technologies that fall under that category and considerations for using those technologies for demand response. The overall purpose is to review different enabling technology options that can help facilities reduce and control their energy demand.
Facility Scale Battery Storage
Demand response programs across the country have many large facilities considering the deployment of energy storage technologies. Technologies developed for facility- and campus-scale energy storage show promise for managing short-term demand peaks as well as longer-period demand response events.
The presenter has investigated facility/campus-scale energy storage for efficiency program administrators in the US and recently completed a storage technology research report for an international consortium of utilities. This work has identified promising avenues for distributed storage. Currently, facility-scale storage has three primary uses: 1. power quality – the monitoring and regulation of voltage fluctuations, frequency disruptions, and harmonic distortions, 2. bridging power – short-term power supply for critical demands, often used to cover time periods in which emergency generators are powering up, 3. energy management – energy storage on a scale to support a facility/campus for extended periods of time. These systems can be responsive to utility demand programs and time-of-use rates to cut peak demand costs.
This presentation will include the technical properties of current storage systems, including flywheel, compressed air, and various battery technologies. The technical and market barriers associated with distributed storage, along with proposed paths for resolving said barriers, will also be discussed.

Gasprogramimpactevalpresentation
This document summarizes the key findings from evaluations of 13 natural gas efficiency programs. It finds that gas program realization rates are typically lower than for electric programs, with more variation in evaluated savings compared to reported savings. It also notes that gas program evaluations are less mature. Additionally, it highlights that gas program savings can impact other fuels like electricity and oil, and that non-energy benefits and costs need to be accounted for in evaluation. Proper evaluation of gas programs requires enhanced measurement and verification approaches until programs mature, as well as accounting for interactions with other fuels and non-energy impacts.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniques
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
