(Photo: First Solar) EEI Publication No. 43-11-06. WWW.EEI.ORG/EP Reliable Quanta Services’ roots in the power industry run deep. For generations, Quanta has been the force behind the development of the power grid. As consumption of electricity rises, so does the demand for transmission and distribution contractors. Reliability is at stake. Quanta designs, installs, maintains and repairs electric power infrastructure. The branches of our network are far reaching and ready to mobilize. With more than 14,000 employees working in all 50 states and Canada, Quanta’s growth has made the company the foremost utility contractor with the largest non-utility workforce in the country. The nation’s premier utilities rely on Quanta’s expertise to deliver the manpower, resources and technology necessary to meet growing demand, integrate new generation sources and deliver the power and reliability consumers deserve. www.quantaservices.com 713.629.7600 NYSE-PWR powering change VALUE AND THE MODERNIZED CUSTOMER ur industry’s job has been the same for decades—delivering reliable, affordable elec- tricity. But the world in which it performs that job continues to change dramatically. In particular, grid modernization—advanced metering, infrastructure, and call cen- O ter technologies—will change how we serve customers. Utilities can push out more information about their customers’ electricity service—information about outage response/res- toration times, energy usage, and price alerts—and use multiple modes of communication to do so. Edison Electric Institute’s latest research fi nds that more than two-thirds of consumers nation- wide want us to move ahead with smart grid and smart meter technology. And one in four wants us to do so quickly. But this is not a rapid transformation—it is an evolution that involves utility relationships, customer perceptions, and regulatory shifts. Indeed, the research fi nds great interest in moving ahead with “the smart grid,” but it also fi nds that less than half of the public has even heard the term. And of those who say they have heard about it, only about one in ten say they have a fairly complete understanding of the smart grid. Regulators, crucial in creating a supportive platform for the deployment of smart technology, are another essential part of the evolution. Cost recovery of new technology investments, prudency determination, data access, privacy, and cyber security are critical. Not surprisingly, in this economy, some regula- tors have been leery of expensive new equipment and redesigned rate systems. Promoting the modernized grid and its benefi ts involves signifi cant industry outreach, which is occurring at many levels. The Utility Relationship For the modernized grid to deliver all the value it promises, customers will need to change their attitude about the role that electricity plays in their lives, and the relationship they have with their utility. This will not be easy—those attitudes have developed over a good number of decades. Many customers are happy with their basic electric service. Others want more: information about electricity use and options; information delivered anytime, anywhere, not just printed on a monthly bill; more choice and control; and energy-related services. And, in fact, changes have begun to occur. Many customers already are putting in rooftop solar, purchasing microturbines, plugging in electric cars, and installing energy management systems. Already, many customers are looking to enhance their basic relationship with their utility. And how they view power has changed or is on its way to doing so. Electric utilities are ideally suited to lead this transformation. After all, customers judge electric- ity’s value by their experiences—with reliability, customer service, personal comfort, affordability, outage restoration, and environmental impact. By providing value in those areas, utilities have cre- ated strong connections across all customer classes. Electric companies themselves are changing—they’re considering their business models and rethinking and repositioning themselves for the changes ahead. They also are building

  • Estimating the Quantity of Wind and Solar Required to Displace Storage-Induced Emissions † ‡ Eric Hittinger*, and Ineŝ M
    Article Cite This: Environ. Sci. Technol. 2017, 51, 12988-12997 pubs.acs.org/est Estimating the Quantity of Wind and Solar Required To Displace Storage-Induced Emissions † ‡ Eric Hittinger*, and Ineŝ M. L. Azevedo † Department of Public Policy, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York 14623, United States ‡ Department of Engineering & Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The variable and nondispatchable nature of wind and solar generation has been driving interest in energy storage as an enabling low-carbon technology that can help spur large-scale adoption of renewables. However, prior work has shown that adding energy storage alone for energy arbitrage in electricity systems across the U.S. routinely increases system emissions. While adding wind or solar reduces electricity system emissions, the emissions effect of both renewable generation and energy storage varies by location. In this work, we apply a marginal emissions approach to determine the net system CO2 emissions of colocated or electrically proximate wind/storage and solar/storage facilities across the U.S. and determine the amount of renewable energy ff fi required to o set the CO2 emissions resulting from operation of new energy storage. We nd that it takes between 0.03 MW (Montana) and 4 MW (Michigan) of wind and between 0.25 MW (Alabama) and 17 MW (Michigan) of solar to offset the emissions from a 25 MW/100 MWh storage device, depending on location and operational mode. Systems with a realistic combination of renewables and storage will result in net emissions reductions compared with a grid without those systems, but the anticipated reductions are lower than a renewable-only addition.

  • Alphabet's 2019 CDP Climate Change Report
    Alphabet, Inc. - Climate Change 2019 C0. Introduction C0.1 (C0.1) Give a general description and introduction to your organization. As our founders Larry and Sergey wrote in the original founders' letter, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." That unconventional spirit has been a driving force throughout our history -- inspiring us to do things like rethink the mobile device ecosystem with Android and map the world with Google Maps. As part of that, our founders also explained that you could expect us to make "smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses." From the start, the company has always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have. Alphabet is a collection of businesses -- the largest of which is Google. It also includes businesses that are generally pretty far afield of our main internet products in areas such as self-driving cars, life sciences, internet access and TV services. We report all non- Google businesses collectively as Other Bets. Our Alphabet structure is about helping each of our businesses prosper through strong leaders and independence. We have always been a company committed to building products that have the potential to improve the lives of millions of people. Our product innovations have made our services widely used, and our brand one of the most recognized in the world. Google's core products and platforms such as Android, Chrome, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Play, Search, and YouTube each have over one billion monthly active users.

  • A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of PV Solar Systems
    A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of PV Solar Systems Kristine Bekkelund Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering Submission date: August 2013 Supervisor: Anders Hammer Strømman, EPT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Energy and Process Engineering Comment to master thesis description In agreement with supervisor and co-supervisor, a slight change in the object of the master thesis has been done. It has been decided to perform a comparative life cycle analysis on different PV technologies rather than conducting a detailed analysis on thin film alone. The scope has been broaden to include multicrystalline silicon PV technology in order to assess the relative competiveness with thin film PV technology in terms of environmental impact. Life cycle inventories should be collected and harmonized. In addition, it has been decided to perform a sensitivity analysis on selected parameters and compare the results with existing renewable energy technology, in this case wind power. The main focus of the sensitivity analysis will be on climate change (GWP). Future implications and possible improvements of the PV value chain should be discussed. i ii Preface This is the preface of the report "A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of PV Solar Systems" written during the spring of 2013, as part of my master degree in "Science and Technology - Energy and Environment" at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. I have learnt a lot from working with this master thesis and have gained interesting insight in the infinite field of photovoltaics. I would like to thank all the people who have shared their valuable knowledge with me: First, I would like to thank my supervisor Anders Hammer Strømman for academic support and guidance during weekly meetings.
