“We've reached another tipping point in history. The collision of hardware and software—the confluence of the virtual and physical—changes everything from products, industrial practices, and business models to appliances, automobiles, and job opportunities. Today's Internet of Everything is a classic market disruption, with immense unimagined opportunities and more than a few thorny challenges.”
San Leandro Climate Action Plan Adopted – 2007
By 2030: •50% of energy sales must come from renewable power
•Also establishes a new integrated resource planning process to foster the development of comprehensive plans that meet California’s greenhouse gas reduction goals
Oct 2015: CA Gov. Brown signs landmark Senate Bill 350
Electric Grid – Security ChallengesThe Wall Street Journal (March 12, 2014) reported that a report of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission found that a coordinated sabotage attack of as few as nine key transformers in the three electrical regions, out of 55,000 around the country, could cause a collapse of the U.S. power grid and a coast-to-coast blackout.
Drive for Utility Distributed Resource Energy Plans
“Further integration of high shares of renewable energy on California’s power grid of the future will depend fundamentally on managing the variability and flexibility of resources. “ California Public Utilities Commission Nov 2015: “Beyond 33% Renewables: Grid Integration Policy for a Low-Carbon Future” Nov 2015
San Leandro Goals (related to Energy):1. Accelerate the city’s Climate Action Plan
• Commercial & Industrial and Transportation sectors emit the most GHGs
2. Provide energy resiliency and security• “Safe Energy” located at critical facilities
3. Bring economic development and quality jobs• Local, local, local….
4. Utilize Lit San Leandro - 10 gbps fiber optic network • Secure and fast data network
5. Confirm San Leandro’s reputation as a Center for Innovation• Willing to lead – and partner with PG&E – on the
new smart city energy paradigm
Winner: California Energy Commission GrantGFO-15-312, “Advanced Energy Communities”
Highlights:
• This grant provides funds and industry focus to ZipPower, the grant lead. The project will design and deliver an advanced, integrated DER network – the “InDERnet” – that brings scale and automation to deploying Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and renewable energy across cities and communities.
• The grant team includes the City of San Leandro, smart grid technology innovators OSIsoft and Geli, finance and developer partners SolSystems and PDE, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, PG&E, and the California ISO.
• The resulting solution will enable cities and utilities to achieve their common goals related to sustainability, innovation, economic development, resilience and security – becoming a model for the state and the country.
Welcome to the InDERnet!
Activating Energy Assets
Target: 100K = 100MW = 25% of Energy
Projected Benefits over 20 years• $520M spent on local energy vs.
remote• $200M added local and regional
wages• 3,400 added local and regional job
years• 156M lbs. annual GHG reductions• 30M gallons annual water savings
100 MW = 25% of the Commercial & Industrial roof area across medium sized cities.
What We’re Learningo Collaboration of All Stakeholders, including
Utilities, is critical
o Fear of Risk: Make it easy for Government Agencies to say “yes”.
o Current Renewables System Cannot Scale: One Rooftop at a Time
o INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE: Management of Hardware, Software, Big Data, IoT will require 21st century fiber optic infrastructure
