Building Washington’sNew Energy Economy
Washington Economic Development Association
Summer ConferenceLake Chelan, June 4-5, 2009
David Kaplan Clean Energy Systems Advisor
State of Washington, Dept of Commerce
Outline
• Thinking about our energy future– Setting goals– Forecasting the energy mix – a thought experiment– Some observations
• Evolving Clean Energy
• ARRA (Stimulus) Funding Opportunities
• Local Considerations
2
Setting Goals
• Exceed our “per capita responsibility” for:– Reducing CO2 emissions– Reducing oil imports
• Grow clean technology business sector
• Maintain competitive energy prices

Take-aways
• Observations– WA CO2 is almost all non-grid– Carbon-free grid sources (hydro, nuclear) unlikely to expand
• Recommendations (preliminary)– Displace fuels with grid wherever possible – EVs are key– Expand conservation to reduce demand– Expand renewables (wind, solar, geothermal, wave/tidal) to
increase supply– Expand storage to offset intermittent renewables– Expand bio-fuels (trucking, marine, aviation) to offset non-
displaceable fuel use
5
Take-aways (cont.)• PNW grid and institutions (BPA, NW Council, IOUs, publics) have
served us well, but need to ask even more of them in coming years
• Need to build analytical and deployment assets of similar caliber targeted at total energy sector (not just grid)
• Unless we can squeeze more from our hydro system (unlikely) or want to build new nukes (unwise), need to realistically assess how to massively scale conservation, wind and solar PV, by when.
• In transportation sector, need to realistically assess what it will take to massively scale EV deployments, by when.
6
Evolving Clean Energy
• Whole system approach to energy– Evolve tomorrow’s grid from today’s– Displace CO2-intensive fuels with clean electricity
• Wind (now) and solar PV (coming years) are best bets for massive clean energy scale-up– Major barriers are first cost and balancing
• While not the major problem, grid must be core of the solution
7
Today’s Grid – Limitations• Consumers lack information• Utilities lack mechanisms to influence
consumer behavior • Limited clean power• Limited energy storage
8
Essential elements of a smart grid• Deep energy efficiency• Demand mgmt• Grid intelligence• Clean power• Electric vehicles• Energy storage
Deep Energy Efficiency• Cost-effective first steps• Building envelopes• High energy-use loads (HVAC, etc.)

10
Demand-Side Management
• Communications (wireless, BPL, etc.)• “Instrument” curtailable loads (A/C, W/H)• Smart meters (AMI)• Aggregation intelligence (software)
11
Grid Intelligence• Monitoring and control• SCADA integration• Synchro-phasors (PMUs)• Automated substations
12
Clean Power• Carbon-free• Utility-scale: wind, PV• All-scale: PV• Intermittent – requires “firming”
13
Electric Vehicles• Reduce oil consumption• “Instrument” EVs, charge points• Smart charging required• Complement intermittent clean power
14
Energy Storage• Grid shock absorber• Firm intermittent power (wind, PV)• EVs are partial storage-equivalent
Essential elements of a smart grid• Deep energy efficiency• Demand mgmt• Grid intelligence• Clean power• Electric vehicles• Energy storage

Scope of Smart Grid & EVFunding Opportunities
• Smart Grid– “… Smart grid modernization encompasses the electric transmission and distribution
infrastructure that interconnects large generation at one end and consumers’ electric loads as the other end, as well as all components and systems in between, including distributed energy resources.”
• Transportation Electrification (EVs and Charging)– “… Accelerate the development and production of various electric drive vehicle
systems to substantially reduce petroleum consumption.”– Support the President’s goal to Get One Million Plug-In Hybrid Cars (PHEVs) on the
Road by 2015.
• Who can participate?– Utilities, system operators, power marketers– Vehicle mfrs, charging equipment mfrs, other technology suppliers – National labs may only subcontract
17
Goals of Smart Grid &EV Funding Opportunities
• Public benefits DOE is aiming for:– Jobs, jobs, jobs– Reduced emissions– Reduced oil consumption– Enhanced cost-effectiveness– Improved demand-side management– Renewable and distributed energy resources– Improved reliability
18
PNW Smart Grid Opportunity• Goals
– Lead the nation in developing a clean, robust grid– Grow smart grid technology companies in Washington state
• Bonneville Power Administration– Smart Grid Test Bed RFI– Broad participation by utilities and technology companies
• Opportunity: Integrate all smart grid pieces– DSM, wind, storage, EVs, etc.– Open standards and protocols– Regulatory mechanisms (tariffs, rate recovery, etc.)
• Migrate quickly from demo to deployment
19
Local Considerations
• Energy Efficiency Community Block Grants (EECBG)– Cities under 35,000, counties under 200,000 via CTED
• Siting for clean renewables– Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Ocean (wave, tidal)– Transmission build-outs
• Clean tech startups
• Communicate, coordinate– CTED Recovery Act info– http://www.cted.wa.gov/site/1164/default.aspx
