InnovaPve Thinking <br />
• Real world user data <br />
• “Pulse Typical Curve” Demand Predictor <br />
• Generator efficiency and dispatching efficiency <br />
• Advanced community energy plan <br />
– Top 1% demand occurs for 2 minutes (525k min in a yr) <br />
– Top 10% of demand occurs for less than 3hrs per year (8.7k <br />
hr in a year) ‐ can it be prevented? Why size a generator to <br />
support 3 hrs? <br />
• <strong>Smart</strong> Microgrid business case exists (3yr est.payback) <br />
• Remote “Energy Coordinator”/Community <br />
Engagement <br />
Slide: 15
Challenges <br />
• Supply Chain <br />
– Selec2ng suitable suppliers during technology flux <br />
• Engineering <br />
– Matching the system spec to the area <br />
– Sosware Support (local and remote) <br />
– Security and integrity of data and control <br />
– Telecom is Central <br />
• Management <br />
– Configura2on, Analy2cs, Training <br />
– Physical Cataloging and Verifica2on <br />
– Upgradability <br />
Slide: 16
Final Thoughts and Next Steps <br />
• Developed Business Case <br />
• Follow stepwise installa2on process <br />
• Beter Energy Management is a <br />
Technological‐Social Solu2on <br />
• Demand Response 2012 <br />

Installa2on and Hardware <br />
Availability <br />
• Use of NRCAN “Off‐Grid <br />
