NV Energy Continues Smart Grid Rollout
NV Energy plans to lead the nation by rolling out smart grid programs
to its customers in Nevada. The company is investing $300 million, including
a $130 million grant from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act, to make Nevada a leader in Smart Grid technology. Since September
2010, the electric utility began installing smart meters to its customers
in southern Nevada. At present, about 25,000 meters have been installed
with a goal to reach 1.3 million installations throughout the entire
state by December 2012.
The utility has been working with several different companies to contract
for purchase and installation of these systems.
NV Energy recently sent a Request for Proposal to Control4 to bid on
a price and installation cost for 20,000 of the company's EMS 100 Energy
Management Systems, which consist of a 5-inch EC-100 touch screen display
and a wireless thermostat. More details on Control4's products can be
found at its website at: www.control4.com
A decision to go forward with purchase and installation of the Control4
systems will be made by NV Energy in the first quarter of this year.
If the decision is implemented, installation of these systems by Control4
will begin in June 2011 and continue through 2012. These installations
will initially be part of a volunteer program for NV Energy customers,
similar to its existing Cool Share program.
NV Energy customers will be able to refer to the data collected by the
smart meters to more actively manage the energy usage in their home,
building on the company's existing Cool Share Program that uses a web-connected
thermostat to help volunteer participants manage their air conditioning
usage during the hot Nevada summers while also helping the electric
utility company balance the extreme swings of its peak and valley load
demands at the same time.
While the touch screen allows customers to monitor their ongoing energy
usage in their home, the system can also receive web-based communication
signals from NV Energy regarding the timing of ongoing price changes
as rate schedules shift during the day. The EMS 100 system can be programmed
by the customer to interact with these signals by turning off certain
appliances at these times, so that the household can conserve energy
and lower their monthly utility bill. A wireless Zigbee communications
system within the thermostat allows it to communicate with plug-in modules
installed within the home that act as radio receivers. These modules
are plugged into an AC wall outlet and the appliance is plugged into
the module. The receiver modules contain built-in relays that can turn
off and on electric appliances, lights and other power-consuming devices
by remote control, as well as control traditional air conditioning and
heating functions. This creates a local wireless Home Area Network (HAN)
where the touch screen LCD display and thermostat sensing system run
the company's Control4 Advantage software. The EMS 100 system can also
communicate with NV Energy's main administrative system, allowing the
utility to signal and receive data from multiple Home Area Networks
within its customer base, eventually scaling to over a million customers
on its "smart grid" within the state of Nevada by the end
of 2012.
Over the next few years, NV Energy is striving to implement new "demand
response" programs to save 150 to 400 Megawatts of power usage
each day, especially during peak demand periods. The average home is
estimated to consume about 1.3 kilowatts of power every day, so one
megawatt of electric power can service about 750 homes each day. If
NV Energy succeeds in saving about 200 Megawatts of power per day, that
would allow for 150,000 more homes to be built and added to the state
grid over the next decade without the need for additional generating
capacity. This, in turn, would help keep costs steady for both residential
and industrial consumers while Nevada transitioned to using cleaner
forms of renewable energy generation.
This also opens up a lot of possibilities for electric vehicle owners
who already have the opportunity to subscribe to monthly rate schedules
that allow for cheaper electricity consumption during off-peak night
time hours, when their EVs would be recharging. An electric car would
be viewed by the EMS 100 system as another appliance on the Home Area
Network whose demands for recharging power could be controlled and turned
on each night just when the off-peak hourly rates "kick in".
Potential "apps" for the EMS 100 system might also start to
include "Vehicle to Home" applications that would allow some
of the stored electricity from an electric car battery pack to be returned
back into the home during peak demand periods to provide power for appliances,
when the vehicle was not being used for transportation during the day.
This would allow the NV Energy customer to also save on the purchase
of more expensive electricity during daytime peak demand hours.
For example, if a person's household did consume the average 1.3 kilowatts
of electricity every day, an EV owner in southern Nevada is eligible
for different "Time of Use" rate schedules at:
http://www.nvenergy.com/home/paymentbilling/timeofuse.cfm
A Nissan Leaf with a 24 kilowatt-hour battery pack could provide a continuous
flow of three kilowatts of electric power for eight hours during the
day. If this stored DC battery power was converted through an electrical
inverter back into 110 VAC or 220 VAC household current, it could supply
twice the needs of an average house during peak daytime usage, but also
cut the overall cost of electricity consumed by 25 percent each day.
If enough electric cars became part of Nevada households over the next
decade, potential "Vehicle to Grid" applications could allow
the utility to balance its peak and valley demands by using these banks
of mobile storage batteries as reserve power sources that could help
regulate and smooth out power demand over the entire state grid.
NV Energy and U.S. Dept. of Transportation Initiate Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure Readiness Task Force at Desert Research Institute
On February 23rd, the Desert Research Institute hosted the first kickoff
meeting of the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Readiness Task Force,
also known as EVIRTF. This is a Nevada statewide effort being led by
NV Energy and the Nevada Department of Transportation to make sure that
the state power grid and roadway infrastructure is ready for the rollout
of new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery-powered
electric vehicles (BEVs) that can extend their range by plugging into
a network of public recharging stations.
There are also additional infrastructure issues that must be dealt with
in making sure that vendors, electricians, general contractors and other
electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) providers across the state
are equipped and trained to handle the emergence of new vehicle technology
platforms like the Nissan LEAF, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Ford Focus Electric,
Chevrolet Volt, Toyota Prius PHV, Fisker Karma, Tesla Roadster and other
vehicles that will begin to appear on the roads of Nevada this year.
Emergency response teams must also be aware of how to handle the power
supply of an electric car if it is involved in an accident and requires
the extraction of human beings.
Also, how will electric vehicles assume their fair share of road maintenance
taxes that have always been funded by gasoline taxes at the pump. Should
these fees be collected as an annual user fee when renewing license
registration for an electric car at the DMV or included in some kind
"pay as you drive" tax? How should plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles be taxed when their road usage can be from a combination of
electric and gasoline sources?
The EVIRTF will be establishing a web site that will enable channels
of communication between all levels of government, fleet vehicle organizations
and businesses as well as be a resource for consumers who may be considering
purchasing plug-in hybrid or plug-in battery-powered electric vehicles.
Stay tuned…!
AeroVironment Begins Shipment and Completes First Installations of
Residential Smart Charging Systems
" Chargers wirelessly communicate with grid to create "smart
refueling" hubs
" Open architecture ensures interoperability with utility systems
nationwide
MONROVIA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2011 - AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) today
announced that it has begun shipping and installing its UL-listed single-family
and multi-unit residential Smart Charging Dock (model EVSE-RS+). Designed
with an open architecture to ensure interoperability with the thousands
of individual utilities nationwide, the grid-connected system charges
electric and plug-in electric hybrid cars by turning drivers' homes
into convenient, smart refueling hubs.
"Our Smart Charging Dock is designed to flex with the needs of
utilities and drivers," said Mike Bissonette, senior vice president
and general manager of Efficient Energy Systems at AeroVironment. "The
open architecture ensures that utilities will be able to incorporate
it easily into their own monitoring systems. It also communicates wirelessly
with the grid and provides feedback that helps determine the optimum
charging times to effectively manage demand on the grid."
AeroVironment designed its Smart Charging Dock and supporting software
to integrate easily with a utility's IT network over various communication
methods, including GPRS (cellular), Ethernet, WiFi™and ZigBee®.
The charging system enables communication with the utility to allow
for easy monitoring of energy use, troubleshooting and data analysis
to help optimize the grid. Utilities can then assess charging patterns
and proactively manage the needs of electric vehicles on the utility's
generation and distribution systems. Utilities will ultimately be able
to aggregate collected data for a global view of EV energy usage and
user habits.
The company recently announced that it would be providing and installing
the charging systems and data network for the nation's first privately-funded
EV charging "ecosystem" in Houston for New Jersey-based NRG
Energy (NYSE: NRG), an example of how AeroVironment collaboratively
supports an energy company and its EV-driving customer base. AeroVironment
is working closely with NRG Energy to ensure that its charging hardware
and software work seamlessly with the company's management system, allowing
for grid optimization, CO2 footprint data and energy consumption reports.
AeroVironment's Smart Charging Dock can charge an electric or plug-in
hybrid car automatically or be pre-programmed by a utility or driver
for optimal power draw so that the car charges when energy costs are
lowest. EVSE-RS+ is designed to be compatible with all SAE J1772-compliant
electric car models from major automakers.

Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA)
The Electric Drive Transportation Agency (EDTA) is an EV industry interest
group representing a broad cross section of the electric vehicle industry
including both carmakers, suppliers and electric utilities. It has been
instrumental in helping shape both public policy and government incentive
programs for EVs, which include the gamut of e-drive technologies from
hybrids to fuel cell vehicles. The EDTA is a co-sponsor of the annual
worldwide Electric Vehicle Symposium that draws together EV industry
leaders from around the world.
In January, the organization announced its "Driving Forward: An
Action Plan for the Electric Drive Era" just prior to the State
of the Union address. Many of the recommendations put forth in the five-point
action plan are policy and procedurally-related: fixing local regulations
and tax code to allow faster and wider deployment of e-drive vehicles.
Others are funding-related, encouraging the Congress to provide additional
financial incentives and aid to help in the rollout; recommendations
that may be hard to swallow given the current cost-cutting mood on Capitol
Hill.
Briefly, the five key points of the plan are:
" Reduce Market Hurdles to Speed Deployment of Electric Drive Vehicles
" Educate Consumers, Communities and Stakeholders
" Ensure U.S. Leadership in Electric Drive Manufacturing
" Standardize Regulatory Policies for Electric Drive Vehicles and
Infrastructure
" Accelerate Technology Breakthroughs
The entire 8-page plan is availed in PDF format [http://www.electricdrive.org/index.php?ht=a/GetDocumentAction/i/18588].
With respect to accelerating technology breakthroughs, EDTA proposes
that more be done to better co-ordinate federal research efforts starting
with appointing an Interagency Electric Drive Working Group coordinator
"to ensure that Department of Energy programs are aligned with
other federal level efforts to promote electric drive." They also
recommend that research and development efforts be expanded across relevant
agencies, including the Departments of Transportation and Defense.
All of these are doubtless important points: implementing them is another
matter, especially if they cost money, require close coordination between
vying agencies, or involve creation of additional bureaucracy. Traditionally,
many of these special projects were included as "earmarks"
in various federal programs, something having little relevance to the
bills on which they were attached. The President's pledge during the
State of the Union to veto any bills with such earmarks attached is
likely to diminish this vehicle as a way to fund the types of projects
that EDTA is recommending.
GM to Increase Production Quantity and Speed Up Rollout of Chevy Volt
in 50 States
During the Washington, D.C. Auto Show, GM announced that it has expanded
its original plan to rollout just 10,000 Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid
electric cars during the first year within just five regions. The company's
intitial cautious rollout allowed them to see how demand would shake
out. GM initially planned a slow ramp up to manufacture 60,000 Volts
a year by 2012.
Due to industry buzz and popular demand at the Chevrolet Volt web site,
the company recently doubled its estimates, planning to increase production
during 2011 to 25,000 vehicles while ramping up manufacturing capacity
to 125,000 cars per year by 2012. Rollout to dealerships is being stepped
up to all 50 states by the fourth quarter of this year.
This was due to a favorable response of 300,000 registrations at the
company's Chevrolet Volt web site.
The recent bankruptcy and downsizing of GM has helped it shed debt but
also caused the once dominant automotive giant to emerge with just four
main brands - Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. The company also shed
900 dealerships but still managed to sell 120,000 more cars and trucks
in the last quarter of 2010 than it did in the first quarter of 2010
when the company still had eight brands and its original existing base
of dealerships.
DOE Releases New Analysis Showing Significant Advances in Electric
Vehicle Deployment
Washington, District of Columbia, United States February 8, 2011
PRESS RELEASE
The U.S. Department of Energy today released One Million Electric Vehicles
by 2015 (pdf - 220 kb), an analysis of advances in electric vehicle
deployment and progress to date in meeting President Obama's goal of
putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. The analysis
shows that while the goal is ambitious, it is also achievable based
on steps already taken as part of the Recovery Act and additional policy
initiatives proposed by President Obama -- including improvements to
existing consumer tax credits, programs to help cities prepare for the
growing demand for electric vehicles, and strong support for research
and development to continue reducing the cost of electric vehicles.
"President Obama's goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 represents a key component of our strategy to dramatically reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and ensure that the U.S. leads the world in the growing electric vehicle manufacturing industry," said DOE Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs David Sandalow. "This is a race America can win -- if we answer the President's call to out-innovate, out-build, and out-compete the rest of the world."
One Million Electric Vehicles by 2015 details DOE investments in electric vehicle infrastructure, research and development, and demonstration projects nationwide that are laying the groundwork for achieving the President's goal. These projects include support for nearly 50 manufacturing facilities and demonstration projects nationwide. These efforts are helping to reduce the costs of advanced batteries and electric vehicles and gathering real-world data for consumers and local communities that will inform future deployment efforts.
The Department's analysis of the current market outlook indicates that manufacturers are planning to produce in the range of one million electric vehicles by 2015. While industry-wide, manufacturing capacity is not likely to be the limiting factor in reaching the President's goal, additional policy steps are needed to further drive innovation, reduce costs, and spur consumer demand.
The Obama Administration is proposing a three-part strategy that supports electric vehicle manufacturing and adoption through improvements to tax credits in current law, investments in research and development (R&D), and a new competitive program to encourage communities to invest in electric vehicle infrastructure. This plan will drive demand and position the United States as a global leader in manufacturing and deploying next-generation vehicle technologies. The strategy includes:
Make electric vehicles more affordable with a rebate up to $7,500: The President is proposing to transform the existing $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles into a rebate that will be available to consumers immediately at the point of sale, instead of having to wait for tax returns to be filed.
Advance innovative technologies through new R&D investments: Building on Recovery Act investments, the President's FY2012 budget proposal will include enhanced R&D investments in electric drive, batteries, and energy storage technologies.
Reward communities that invest in electric vehicle infrastructure through competitive grants: To provide an incentive for communities to invest in EV infrastructure and remove regulatory barriers, the President is proposing a new initiative that will provide grants to up to 30 communities that are prioritizing advanced technology vehicle deployment.
Combined, these policies will help achieve the President's goal of one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 while creating new jobs and strengthening U.S. leadership in the growing EV market.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program funds research and development for energy efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle technologies.
