  • Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems
    Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems Final Report A DHS/Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) Funded Study Prepared by: Casey C. Grant, P.E. Fire Protection Research Foundation The Fire Protection Research Foundation One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA, USA 02169-7471 Email: [email protected] http://www.nfpa.org/foundation © Copyright Fire Protection Research Foundation May 2010 Revised: October, 2013 (This page left intentionally blank) FOREWORD Today's emergency responders face unexpected challenges as new uses of alternative energy increase. These renewable power sources save on the use of conventional fuels such as petroleum and other fossil fuels, but they also introduce unfamiliar hazards that require new fire fighting strategies and procedures. Among these alternative energy uses are buildings equipped with solar power systems, which can present a variety of significant hazards should a fire occur. This study focuses on structural fire fighting in buildings and structures involving solar power systems utilizing solar panels that generate thermal and/or electrical energy, with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic panels used for electric power generation. The safety of fire fighters and other emergency first responder personnel depends on understanding and properly handling these hazards through adequate training and preparation. The goal of this project has been to assemble and widely disseminate core principle and best practice information for fire fighters, fire ground incident commanders, and other emergency first responders to assist in their decision making process at emergencies involving solar power systems on buildings. Methods used include collecting information and data from a wide range of credible sources, along with a one-day workshop of applicable subject matter experts that have provided their review and evaluation on the topic.

The project aims to provide information and educational resources to help states and municipalities ensure that distributed solar electricity remains consumer friendly and its benefits are accessible to low- and moderate-income households. In ad- dition to publishing guides, the Sustainable Solar Education Project will produce webinars, an online course, a monthly newsletter, and in-person training on topics related to strengthening solar accessibility and affordability, improving consumer information, and implementing consumer protection measures regarding solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. More information about the project, including a link to sign up to receive notices about the project’s activities, can be found at www.cesa.org/projects/sustainable-solar. ABOUT THE U.S. DEpaRTMENT OF ENERGY SUNSHOT INITIATIVE The U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative is a collaborative national effort that aggressively drives innovation to make solar energy fully cost-competitive with traditional energy sources before the end of the decade. Through SunShot, the Energy Department supports efforts by private companies, universities, and national laboratories to drive down the cost of solar electricity to $0.06 per kilowatt-hour.

Lori Hoyum Policy Manager 218-355-3601 [email protected] September 1, 2015 VIA E-FILING Daniel P. Wolf Executive Secretary Minnesota Public Utilities Commission 121 7th Place East, Suite 350 St. Paul, MN 55101-2147 Re: In the Matter of Minnesota Power’s Application for Approval of its 2015-2029 Resource Plan Docket No. E015/RP-15-690 Dear Mr. Wolf: Minnesota Power presents for approval its 2015 Integrated Resource Plan (“2015 Plan” or “Plan”) pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission’s (“Commission”) Order dated November 12, 2013, in Docket No. E015/RP-13-53. This Plan is being filed under Minn. Stat. § 216B.2422 and Minn. Rules Chapter 7843. Minnesota Power’s 2015 Plan is the next chapter in the Company’s EnergyForward resource strategy. Minnesota Power’s EnergyForward strategy is reshaping the Company’s power supply from a predominantly coal-based energy mix to one that is more diverse, while maintaining low cost, reliable electricity to customers. The Plan is designed to supply Minnesota Power customers with a safe, reliable, and affordable power supply while improving environmental performance, reducing emissions, sustaining the Company’s high-quality energy conservation program and adding renewables in the near-term and natural gas in the long-term. Minnesota Power’s short-term action plan during the five-year period of 2015 through 2019 is comprised of steps that will: a) preserve competitive base load generating resources while reducing emissions, b) increase implementation of least-cost demand-side resources including conservation, c) reduce reliance on coal-fired generation, and d) add renewable energy and transmission infrastructure to the benefit of customers.
