If you are looking for the conference resources, visit | Conference Co-Chair Jeff Haase. 4 percent over the budgeted 2018 rate. Looking forwardPositioning ourselves to successfully support our member-owner cooperatives as people's needs change over time. Years of experience in traditional Demand Response (DR) programs have taught us that there are alternative strategies to controlling demand-side resources. All state administrative, legislative and MISO resource adequacy requirements and obligations have been, and will continue to be, met by GRE. Great River Energy also maintains a smaller pole inventory at each of its transmission service centers — of which there are eight strategically located across Minnesota and one in North Dakota — for less impactful events that can be handled by local service center personnel. Can there be meaningful energy savings and DR load shed on top of daily TOU management? Two-and-a-half years after the retirement of the Elk River Energy Recovery Station, the power plant site now resembles how it likely looked a century ago. The Struggle for Device Control. The primary heating system can be controlled up to 12 hours per day and up to 400 hours per heating season.
We provide a strong foundation for the communities we serve by powering them with affordable, reliable, cleaner electricity. We're just validating our designs and looking ahead to make sure we are designing them for tomorrow's ice loading. For example, members that participate in the demand response programs are essentially allowing Great River Energy to "control" or "cycle" their air conditioner, water heater or some other load for a period of hours on high demand days, which typically occur on hot summer days. Join us anyway and see what you're missing. Beyond our energy offering, we're focused on providing support in these key areas: -. 25 will provide a full charge for a Hymotion 5kWh battery pack that is typically used for a Prius PHEV conversion. Great River Energy is a corporate citizen that believes in supporting the communities we serve – beyond our business purpose.
Weather Threat Assessment. The research analysis is driven based on data collected by the distribution level SCADA system. This is primarily the result of expected savings in operations and maintenance spending. Following Winter Storm Wesley, Great River Energy performed an internal review of its design practices, including the conductor type and use of zirconium twisted-pair conductor based on geography, wind-loading design parameters and storm structure additions. There is context to this deal. At Great River Energy, resilience is a journey that is never complete.
That said, the co-op used the experience to learn and make improvements. Great River Energy's system performed well in June 2021 despite temperatures repeatedly reaching above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This panel will have two short presentations and then will engage audience participants in a discussion about the challenges of outreach for novel and or complex technologies such as DR, DG, and Storage. This presentation will discuss the approaches PSE and Navigant applied to: 1) forecast the market adoption of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty PEVs by vehicle class, ownership model, and powertrain in PSE's territory through 2050; and 2) forecast the hourly load associated with charging light-duty PEVs for each zip code within PSE's territory. Specifically, analysis showed community solar alone delivering a utility benefit/cost (B/C) ratio just shy of 1:1, but with storage, the B/C ratio for the overall project lands in the range of 1.
The results will be presented to help utilities target their thermostat program to businesses that will improve their cost-effectiveness of their thermostat programs. We know increased load control can be frustrating, but if we all work together we can keep load management programs valuable and our pricing low. Together, these cooperatives provide retail electric service to more than 720, 000 member-owners across Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin.
Electric vehicle use grows in Minnesota fleets: Interview with the DNR. The team is determining if there are projects that could be done to help ease that burden in critical situations. Water is heated primarily at night when energy costs are lowest, and stored in a super-insulated tank for use throughout the day. No venting required to meet code. Roundtable discussion where attendees will share what they are doing now or considering to re-deploy existing programs and/or planning new ones to load address load management challenges in ways that would be considered beneficial electrification as framed by the open panel discussion. Contact us for pricing and sizing information. Moderator Joseph Childs. ULME Pre-Meeting Breakfast at PLMA. Lessons From A Storm. Co-Chair Joel Schofield. How to request a sponsorship. The agreement between GRE and Connexus would not have been possible without the right leadership in place. Co-moderators and panelists are participants in the PLMA Future of DER Compendium. 12300 Elm Creek Boulevard.
They caught on fire and ignited the ground below. More and more entities are proposing behind the meter distributed energy resources which can potentially present a problem for utilities as they try to maintain safe and reliable electrical service. Add to this the rapidly changing landscape for distributed energy resources (DERs), and it's no surprise that co-ops are entering a period of unprecedented innovation and experimentation. These provisions implement the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission's (PUC) order of September 28, 2004 in Docket E999/CI-01-1023 pursuant to Minnesota Statute 216B. Having this detailed information proved particularly helpful during Arrowhead Cooperative's work planning process.
PLMA Member Welcome Reception at SEVEN on the Rooftop. Storage heating is the least expensive electric water heating program available, saving you hundreds of dollars each year over standard electric systems. "We are monitoring new funding opportunities as they are released and communicating with our member-owners. Complete the sponsorship request form and send it with supporting documentation to. There also is an ongoing effort to address spare equipment. This interactive, engaging session will start with a portrayal of "rubber-hits-theroad" real world Non-Wires Alternative scenarios where distribution needs have been identified and solicitations and procurement of DER solutions have followed as an alternative to more conventional utility-asset investments. Taking care of employeesOur employees are our greatest asset.
The exit of two coal-based power supply contracts and the retirement of Stanton Station have provided long-term rate relief for cooperative members. Off-peak programs for water heaters. See the April 17 announcement of who will be recognized at. Did the localized wind power generation tied into the distribution grid benefit the Public Power District? In the summer of 2018, National Grid expanded ConnectedSolutions, the utility's Bring Your Own Thermostat® demand response program, to include customer-owned solar and energy storage systems. The utility knew how many member-consumers were enrolled in its load management heating program and the amount of electric load typically controlled during load control events.
The Future of Demand Response EV Managed Charging Programs. National Grid and Award Group Co-Chair. Finally, Winter Storm Wesley led to the addition of automated after-hours calling software. This software enables control center operators to call out field personnel automatically, as needed. Resiliency asset management. Most demand response (DR) programs participate in wholesale markets or are used for utility level peak shaving. The next step in the project involved leveraging the geographic information system (GIS) to visualize the data. Behind-the-Meter Distributed Energy Resources–Lessons Learned from California. This session will demonstrate how other utilities can use the changing landscape of devices for their benefit and learn how to expand a small program to meet the demands of today.
