Infrastructure Working Council Meeting: Presentations Day One

June 2014 E3 Higher RPS Study Briefing for EPRI IWG

June 18, 2014

Key Study Question

What are the requirements, operational challenges, potential solutions, costs and consequences of integrating 50% RPS by 2030 in California?

Incremental Renewable Energy to meet…

50% RPS (27 TWh) 46 TWh 40% RPS (19 TWh)

33% RPS (4 TWh)

Renewable generation needed to meet 33% RPS by 2020 (85 TWh)

2 50% RPS is a New Challenge

California still does not have operating experience at 33% RPS

No other country or state has achieved an equivalent RPS above 30% anywhere in the world

• Germany: 22% renewables in 2012

• 7.4% wind, 4.5% solar • Spain: 24% renewables in 2012

• 18% wind, 4% solar • Denmark: 30% wind in 2012

• Assisted by interconnections with Germany & Norway • Norway, New Zealand & British Columbia achieve higher renewable penetrations with large hydroelectric resources which do not count towards RPS in California 3

Sizing up the famous duck chart

The CAISO duck chart illustrates operational challenges at 33% RPS

It shows just a single day in March as renewables rise to 33%

E3’s study looks at thousands of potential operating days as renewables rise to 50%

Core question: How serious and pervasive are operating challenges as renewable penetration rises above 33%?

Dog days and duck days: Managing Net Load will be the challenge

Sweltering Summer Day Delightful Spring Day High Variable Renewable Penetration Stresses the Grid in New Ways

“Dog Days” “Duck Days” Highest Load Day Highest Ramp Day

Historical system planning challenge: Historically an easy day to manage meet gross peak load on hottest days Emerging system planning challenge: High renewable penetration makes net manage diurnal swings in net load peak lower and later Need enough flexibility Need enough generating capacity Example Day in April: 33%, 40% and 50% RPS

E3’s REFLEX model simulates how the system operator dispatches available resources to manage net load

Overgeneration

• Occurs when system cannot absorb all renewable energy without risking an outage.

• Shown in red Overgeneration increases above 33%

• Can be very high under the 50% Large Solar case

• Diversifying the renewable portfolio reduces overgeneration

• Fossil generation is reduced to minimum levels needed for reliability

7 Overgeneration is extensive and can occur in any month

Average overgeneration (MW) by month-hour, 50% Large Solar Case:

8 E3 investigated several potential solutions

Potential solutions:

• Diversified portfolio (more wind and geothermal, less solar)

• Enhanced regional coordination

• Conventional demand response (down only)

• Advanced demand response (down and up)

• Energy storage PEVs not modeled explicitly, but managed charging is similar to advanced DR and energy storage

Solutions considered individually (each @ 5000 MW)

Solutions may be combined:

• Further study needed to identify optimal combination

• Best mix of solutions depends on renewable portfolio

9 Potential Integration Solution: Advanced Demand Response

PEVS are a potential source of flexible load

Charge during day at work and late at night at home

V2G provides an extra boost (discharge early evening)

10 Potential Integration Solution: Energy Storage Case

Adding 5,000 MW of diurnal energy storage in CA reduces overgeneration

Storage charges during the day & discharges at night.

PEVs can do this!

Example April day 11 Some implications for PEVs

Value proposition for PEVs shifting away from managing system peak load toward helping manage daily swings in solar generation

Frequency regulation will be less important

From a grid perspective PEVs represent a huge and growing reservoir of low cost energy storage

Requires pervasive workplace charging, cars plugged in throughout the day

TOU as we know it will become irrelevant and dynamic pricing/DR will be more important

Aggregation and automation are the key: consistent standards, communications, metering are essential for PEVs to be a true grid resource

12 Implications of high renewable penetration differ by region: depends on renewable resource mix

Projected Capacity and Generation Mix by Region in 2050 NREL Incremental Technology Improvement 80% Renewable Scenario

Onshore Wind Dominates Offshore Wind Dominates

Solar Dominates Mostly Biomass and PV

1. Downward ramping capability 3. Upward ramping capability

Thermal resources operating to serve loads at Thermal resources must ramp up quickly from night must be ramped downward and potentially minimum levels during the daytime hours and new shut down to make room for a significant influx of units may be required to start up to meet a high net solar energy after the sun rises. peak demand that occurs shortly after sundown. 2. Minimum generation flexibility 4. Peaking capability

Overgeneration may occur during hours with high The system will need enough resources to meet the VER production even if thermal resources and highest peak loads with sufficient reliability imports are reduced to their minimum levels. A system with more flexibility to reduce thermal generation will incur less overgeneration.

17 Overgeneration Statistics

Overgeneration is minimal at 33% RPS, but increases to nearly 9% of available renewable energy under the 50% RPS Large Solar scenario

1) The use cases (application) for EV to Grid Communications have driven development and standardization of the link’s PHY layer (PLC)  The immediate implementation of this link is delayed due to presently weak business case

2) Nevertheless, new applications can be developed which could be found attractive to interested consumers 1 2  Bundling Smart Grid related services may help to improve the business case

3) Integration of a smart grid applications suite as a whole into a much broader marketplace is more likely to lead to the acceleration of developments for overall customer needs around the home, including EVs!

SAE J3068: Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System Using a Three-phase Capable Coupler

Rodney McGee University of Delaware

EPRI IWC

SAE J3068 1 Current Situation for Three Phase Charging

– There are a variety of heavy and medium duty electric vehicles with on-board three phase AC chargers using a variety of plugs including some proprietary systems. – Some common issues • Some use standard NEMA or IEC outlets that are always energized for EV • Some lack plug proximity or interlock to prevent decoupling while charging, which causes arcing • Supply without ground fault protection

SAE J3068 2 Current Situation for Three Phase Charging

– UL approved three-phase EVSE – Robust proprietary plug from Meltric – 208 VAC 80 A 3-phase -> 30 kW

Smith EV with three-phase

New ClipperCreek CS-100-3P three-phase 30kW

SAE J3068 3 Scope of J3068

– The SAE has authorized a document for three-phase AC charging for electric vehicles – Scope This document covers the general physical, electrical, functional, testing, and performance requirements for conductive power transfer to an electric vehicle using a coupler capable of, but not limited to, transferring three-phase AC power. It defines a conductive power transfer method including the digital communication system. It also covers the functional and dimensional requirements for the vehicle inlet, supply equipment outlet, and mating housings and contacts. – Targeted towards charging at commercial and industrial locations or other places where three-phase power is available and preferred.

SAE J3068 4 Initial proposal to Hybrid EV committee

– EV energy transfer system supporting common North American three-phase AC grid supplies – Propose using an existing EV connector • IEC 62196 Type 2 • Interlock required to prevent connector removal during charging Type-2 Inlet • L1,L2,L3,N,GND: 6mm L1,L2,L3,N,GND,CP,PP conventional contacts ~ 63A* advanced contacts ~ 120-160A† – For comparison J1772 (IEC Type 1) • L1,L2/N: 3.6mm conventional contacts ~ 30A advanced contacts ~ 80A • Combo: DC+/-: 8mm ~ 200A Type-1 Inlet L1,L2/N,GND,CP,PP

*IEC only defines the Type 2 to 63-amp SAE J3068 †Current limit based on designs 5 SAE 3068 would extend that rating from two coupler manuf.

Initial proposal to Hybrid EV committee

– Communication • Exchange operating parameters for supply and load – Verify compatibility before energization • Able to exceed 80A • Able to exceed 240V nominal – Allowing 277VAC single phase / 480VAC three phase – Initial working proposal • Single-ended CAN over the Control Pilot (IEC 61851 ED3 Annex D) – Also considering and will study in committee • PLC over Control Pilot required for baseline AC transfer • There are tradeoffs to be discussed • Either way PLC compatible

Unless other voltages are specified, the nominal AC system voltages of 120, 120/240, 208Y/120, 240, 480Y/277, 480, 600Y/347, and 600 volts.” – Need to identify any possible issues with current code • No major issues identified yet • NEC 2017 is open for public changes this summer into early fall

SAE J3068 13 UL 2594 1st edition

– Need to review this document for needed changes • So far so good; needs a more careful read through – Scope: • 1.1 This Standard covers conductive electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment with a primary source voltage of 600 V ac or less, with a frequency of 60 Hz, and intended to provide ac power to an electric vehicle with an on-board charging unit. This Standard covers electric vehicle supply equipment intended for use where ventilation is not required. – Electric vehicle supply equipment covered by this Standard includes: • … • f) Permanent EV Charging Station – Rated 600 Vac maximum, intended for indoor or indoor/ outdoor use; or • g) Permanent EV Power Outlet – Rated 600 Vac maximum, intended for indoor or indoor/ outdoor use. – 6.2 EV charging stations • 6.2.1 EV charging stations shall be provided with an EV receptacle or an EV connector on the vehicle side of the device.

SAE J3068 14 UL 2202 2nd edition

– Need to review this document for needed changes – From section 11.7: Identification • a) 120 volts, 2-wire; • b) 120/240 volts, single-phase, 3-wire; • c) 208Y/120 volts, two-phase, 3-wire; • d) 208Y/120 volts, three-phase, 4-wire; • e) 480Y/277 or 600Y/347 volts, three-phase, 4-wire in which the neutral is used as a circuit conductor; • f) 240/120 volts, three-phase, 4-wire in which the midpoint on one phase is used as a circuit conductor; or • g) 240 or 480 volts, three-phase, 3-wire, corner-grounded delta;

SAE J3068 15 Decisions to be made though consensus

– Decide whether to adopt IEC Type-2 as a three-phase AC charging coupler – Decide the required baseline communication – Allowable three-phase AC supply configurations • 208, 240, 480, 600 VAC • Wye or Delta transformer configuration • Neutral present or not • Digital communication is helpful here. – Remember some of goals are different then passenger car and that corresponding public charging infrastructure

SAE J3068 16 Three-phase Power System in the US

• Other variants include 240 delta and 480 delta which either have no neutral or mid-point neutral, while delta is common for the high voltage electrical distribution system. These systems are less common for new installations. • Canada uses 347/600Y instead of 277/480Y • Split-phase 120/240 is used for US residential

SAE J3068 17

IEC Type 2 Coupler System

SAE J3068 18 Can SAE make normative references in a document to IEC standards?

– Yes, an example of this is J1113/1: • “By reference, IEC CISPR 25 is adopted as the standard for the measurement of component emissions. In the event that an amendment is made or a new edition is published, the new IEC document shall become part of this standard six months after the publication of the IEC document.” • “SAE reserves the right to identify exceptions to the published IEC document with the exceptions to be documented in SAE J1113-41.” – This seems like a good approach to take if we decide to adopt any parts of the J3068 system that are already defined in the IEC. – Identify places where we need to differ because of national rules, codes, and our requirements

SAE J3068 19 IEC EVSE Socket Female – Type 2

SAE J3068 20 IEC Cordset “cases”

May seem unusual at first but “Case A” is already popular for special purpose vehicles

“Case B” may be use for many situations where a permanently connected cord is not desirable.

“Case C” should look familiar to those familiar with J1772

SAE J3068 21 IEC 62196 Proximity Current Coding

Rc Continuous amp rating cord limit Breaker NEC 1.5kΩ 13A 15A (12A PWM) 680Ω 20A 25A 220Ω 32A 40A 100Ω 63A 80A 56Ω* Limit set by Control Pilot only For permanently attached cordset 33Ω* Interrupt power flow

Remember the nominal charging current limit is as interpreted by the EV defined as the minimum of EVSE supply limit (from the control pilot) and cordset limit (from plug proximity).

*Proposed for J3068

SAE J3068 22 Changes need from 62196

– Allow nominal voltages up to 600 VAC (500 VAC in IEC) – Specifications for contact plating – Add a resistor coding for fixed “Case C” cordset. – Might increase minimum “packing room” to allow for heavier duty housings and bigger wires in the future

SAE J3068 23

CAN Bus over Control Pilot

SAE J3068 24 CAN over Control Pilot – Digital replacement for the PWM part of the control pilot – Electrically compatible with PLC – Keeping the same voltage levels (12V,9V,6V) • Verification of Equipment Grounding Continuity • Verification of Vehicle Connection – Allows communication of basic supply parameters • Beyond the PWM 6A-80A supply limit • Supply voltage (208,240,480,600) {L1,L2,L3,N} • Supply current (0-250A) – Standardization underway in IEC-61851 Edition 3 Annex D – Extra hardware • Receive circuit - low speed voltage comparator • Transmit circuit - solid state analog switch • Some passives for EMC • Extremely low-cost transceiver ~$1

SAE J3068 25 Functions of the Control Pilot

Functions (From J1772) How J1772 does it? How does CAN-CP does it? Verification of Vehicle Asymmetric Pilot load via {R3,D1} Two way digital communication established AND Connection CP positive edge voltage = {B,C,D} AND if Pilot voltage level = {B,C} OSC=On then negative edge voltage = {F} EVSE Ready to Supply Oscillator=On and in range SeState = “SeReady” & SeAvailableCurrent{x} > 0A Energy

EV/PHEV Ready to Accept CP Positive edge voltage = {C,D} AND EvState = “EvReady” & CP voltage = {C} indicate the Energy CP Negative edge voltage = {F} vehicle is ready

EvState = “EvReady” or CP voltage = {B} indicate the vehicle is not ready Verification of Equipment Grounding conductor provides a return path Equivalent to J1772 Grounding Continuity for the control pilot. If CP voltage = {A,E,F} … then De-energize … {A} causes EVSE to de-energize (100ms) {E,F} causes EVSE to de-energize (3s) Additionally if the CAN bus is in Error {stuck at E} then De-energize (the same requirement as above) EVSE Current Capacity PWM Duty Cycle = 6-80A SeAvailableCurrent{L1,L2,L3,N} = 0-250A

Values above 250A are reserved for future use

UL Standard Technical Panel (STP); UL 2231-1,2 Proposal

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE: The ground monitor/interrupter is a life safety circuit. The circuit should be included on hardwired and cord connected EVSEs even if an evaluation of the grounding circuit proves it to be reliable. The ground should be monitored during every self-test sequence to ensure that the ground is in-tact from the vehicle to the service equipment. The ground could become disconnected at any time due to a variety of reasons or sources including a broken pin or sleeve, punctured cord, corrosion etc. The best way to ensure that the ground circuit from the vehicle to the service equipment is connected is continuous ground monitor/interrupter testing from within the EVSE. In EVSE applications the ground might not be connected correctly to the service equipment in hardwired installations. The ground monitor/interrupter circuit is the best method for identifying this unsafe condition.

PROPOSAL:

Remove paragraph 6.1.4 from UL 2231-1. The GMI circuit should be required for all hardwired or cord connected Level 1 and Level 2 EVSE

6.1.4 The ground monitor/interrupter in 6.1.3(b) is not required when a special investigation of the grounding circuit proves it to be reliable. The special investigation involves: a) An evaluation of connections that are able to be subject to flexing, and b) The ability to conduct currents without damage to the grounding path.

UL Standard Technical Panel; UL 2594 Proposal De-Energization

RATIONAL: The NFPA 70 Article 625.19 established a requirement for the automatic de- energization of cord. The electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and the charge connector cord combination shall be provided with an automatic means to de-energize the cord conductors and electric vehicle connector if exposure to strain could result in either a cord rupture or a separation of the cord from the charge connector causing exposure to live parts. An automatic means to de- energize the charge connector cord and the EVSE shall not be required for portable cord and plug (cordset) connected EVSE intended for connection to receptacles rated at 125 VAC, single phase, 15 and 20 amperes. An interlock shall not be required for dc supplies less that 50 volts dc. There are no UL tests to validate that EVSEs achieve the requirement of Article 625.19 for Level 2 EVSEs. A test should be developed to pull the charge connector cord and validate the requirement described above.

UL Standard Technical Panel; UL 2594 Proposal

RATIONAL: The state voltages described within SAE J1772 and their associated pilot line voltage ranges (Table 4.2 of SAE J1772-October 2012) are associated with the safety of an EVSE. For example, if a state voltage within the EVSE drifts, shifts or is inadvertently changed from State A (12VDC) to State C (6VDC) the EVSE will be in a charge state (without the vehicle connected) exposing live (240VAC) charge connector pins. By continuously checking for the correct state voltage it's assured that the EVSE is in a known state reducing the risk of exposed live parts. PROPOSAL: 35A.1 An EVSE shall continuously monitor the SAE J1772 state voltages as referenced in the Pilot Line Voltage Range Table (4.2) from the SAE Electric Vehicle and Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler, SAE J1772. 35A.2 The means for monitoring the voltages shall be applied once every 15 sec. 35A.3 No output voltage shall be present at the charge connector in the case of an EVSE in State C without the EVSE connected to the electric vehicle (EV) inlet.

1 What is Honda Smart Home US?

The Basics… • 1944 square feet single family home • Located at UC Davis “West Village” • Occupant will use the Home and Fit EV vehicle

Some Background: • California has a 2020 goal for all new residential construction to be Zero Net Energy (other states have similar goals)

The Purpose… • HSHus is a living laboratory to demonstrate a vision for zero-carbon living and mobility • This is a demonstration of technologies and holistic system design, but not an entry into the homebuilding market

2 The First Question is Usually… “Why?”

Yes, we make very efficient cars…

Honda had the highest fleet-average fuel economy among all full-line automakers for MY2012 – the last year recorded

3 We are focused on more than just mobility.

Blue Skies for Our Children.

It’s has been our environmental slogan since the 1970’s, when we took on the challenge of meeting the stringent exhaust emissions standards of the Clean Air Act, and developed innovations like the CVCC engine.

“Honda puts climate change and energy at the top of the list of global environmental issues that it needs to address.”

- 2013 Honda Annual Environmental Report

4 We need zero-emission Vehicles AND Homes…

Total U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector with Electricity Distributed • Only about 1/3 of the average individual’s carbon footprint is from their car.

• To truly tackle climate change, we need to establish a zero emissions lifestyle that includes living and mobility.

• Renewables plus Efficiency are key.

Source: EPA But don’t Battery EVs and Solar Panels already do that?

5 Yes, but… BEVs and Solar DG have the potential to cause disruptions at the high penetration rates we want to achieve:

Solar Distributed Generation (DG): • Can the distribution networks manage lots of solar? • What about intermittancy? • How will conventional generators ramp up fast enough at sunset? • etc.

Battery Electric Vehicles: • Can the local distribution manage the increased residential loads when charged at home? • Will they strain the grid at peak load times? • How much carbon reduction do they offer if they need power plants to charge them? • etc.

6 So the answer to “Why?” is…

Honda Smart Home US is a demonstration of our vision for a zero-carbon lifestyle that will:

1. Help enable a future with widespread Solar DG and Renewably-Fueled Vehicles which: - Eliminates any potential burdens to the electrical grid - Creates tangible value to society

2. Promote concepts of Sustainable Construction, because Blue Skies requires more than just a reduction of greenhouse gases!

7 How does the Smart Home “enable” this future?

• Internal research to help develop a new generation of products in the Integrated-Mobility and Energy Management space

• Collaborating with UC Davis researchers to study new HVAC and Lighting technologies that can be used by others to improve efficiency

• Collecting and publishing the detailed thermal, electrical, and water consumption data for public research

• [Near Future] Releasing our architectural and mechanical design documents and a full spec list of components used in construction and finishing

Specific Research Items: • Whole House Sealing with aerosol • Actual effectiveness of the large boreholes, and comparison of wet vs. dry • Actual performance of a three-mode heatpump • Actual performance of an all-radiant system

16 Passive Design Improves HVAC Efficiency!

• High insulation R-values, high performance glass • Tight envelope with little air leakage • Orientation and Overhangs for Solar Gain in winter, Shade in summer

10:00 A.M. 4:00 P.M.

Summer: Completely Shaded

Winter: High Solar Gain

17 Wintertime: Heat and Daylight Harvesting

HSHus will consume 75% less energy for mechanical systems than a conventional new Factoid construction house. That is enough energy saved to power the Fit EV for an entire year!

18 Advanced LED Lighting with Circadian Design:

The Lighting system was developed with the UC Davis California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) to…

• Maximize efficiency through fixtures and controls • Provide high quality light • Automatically provide the correct lighting (time, room) • Research night lighting and safety lights • Demonstrate Circadian Design

A typical new-construction home in CA will use over 1700kWh of electricity on lighting. That’s enough energy to drive a Fit EV for six months! Factoid

The result: High Efficiency with improved Quality of Life in the Smart Home, and the opportunity for more public research

19 So What is Circadian Design?

The human body has a natural circadian clock, which is affected by temperature, light, etc.

The body is especially sensitive to Blue Light, which can disrupt melatonin production (and sleep patterns).

So HSHus utilizes warm LED colors and actively adjusts the color of some lights throughout the day.

20 Total Home Controls using the Smart Home App…

21 B. Sustainable Construction Details

YES! Sustainability is about Energy.

But also: • Water • Waste • Renewable Materials • Occupant Health

One of the goals of the Smart Home project is to help advance Green Building, so we are trying to help start conversations about these topics…

22 Water Management

Conserving water was a high priority: • Compact Plumbing Design  Very short hot water runs • Low flow fixtures and dual-flush toilets • Xeriscaped landscape with graywater irrigation

HSHus only uses 1/3 of the total water consumption of a typical house Factoid

23 Low Carbon Concrete

There are several options to reduce the carbon-footprint of concrete…

• HSHus used a natural ash material to replace half of the cement.  The local concrete supplier now has this mix design available for anyone to use.

• We also optimized the slab design using post- tensioning to minimize the amount of concrete used.

Every pound of cement releases about one pound of carbon dioxide during its manufacture ! Factoid

24 Sustainable Materials

All lumber, trim AND furniture is third-party certified for sustainable forestry!

Rigid insulation on the exterior sheathing is a great building practice. We used cork on the Visitor Center.

Every part of the Smart Home, even down to the nails, was spec’d for maximum sustainability. Factoid

25 What’s Next…

• A UC Davis associate will live in the Smart Home after final commissioning • Honda and PG&E will publish the energy/water/thermal data collected during occupancy • Honda will publish the drawings and specifications to our website • Honda will continue to operate the Smart Home for a minimum of 3 years (total research length is TBD)
