June 15, 2011 Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Jon Wellinghoff's presentation from America’s Sustainable Future: How U.S. Cities Are Making Energy Work, an invitational conference of public-private partnership efforts from U.S. cities pursuing innovative energy management and smart grid initiatives. The assembled leaders in industry, research and policy-making will explore the diverse energy strategies emerging in Philadelphia and across the United States. “We’re really looking forward to both learning from the great examples set by other cities represented in the conference, and showing off the groundbreaking work happening right here in Philadelphia,” says Laurie Actman, Viridity Energy’s director of strategic partnerships and public policy. “With smart ideas and smart policy, we should be able to build support for smart grid projects and microgrids at the federal, state and local level.”"Energy technology is changing at such a rapid pace, it's crucial to examine who's doing it right in smart grid and microgrid projects all around the country," says Eugenie Birch, Penn IUR co-director. "With the right policy moves—which we'll be exploring at the conference—Philadelphia can be a national leader in energy innovation," noted Susan Wachter, Penn IUR co-director.

Editor's Notes
- Oil Barrels, 2008 by Chris Jordan Depicts 28,000 42-gallon barrels, the amount of oil consumed in the United States every two minutes (equal to the flow of a medium-sized river).
- Lightbulbs, 2009 by Chris Jordan Photo represents the 320,000 lightbulbs that equal the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the US per minute, due to inefficient household electricity use. Some things to think about: • What's the big deal? According to The Cleantech Group , energy efficiency will overtake solar as a top investment target in 2010 and commercial and industrial buildings are a major focus. Why? Lower investment costs, financial incentives and faster payback. • What's the government doing about it? The Energy Department is spending millions and millions of dollars on programs to improve building design with more efficient building components, systems and models for both existing building retrofits and new construction. DOE also is whipping out its checkbook for cool new energy efficiency technologies and worker training . • Who's in the building efficiency game these days? Compan ies big and small, old and brand new. Some are going it on their own and many are partnering and acquiring: big companies with huge global footprints but little direct experience snatch up the young technology innovators. Here's a sampling of the companies involved: Siemens, GE, IBM, Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Echelon, EnerNOC, SAP, Oracle. The list goes on. Building efficiency projects and what they're about Chicago office buildings = virtual generator : Chicago's Building Owners and Managers Association and an unlikely colle ction of partners are working on using about 260 downtown office buildings as virtual generators to better manage energy use and cut energy costs. The pilot program is said to be the country's first. BOMA/Chicago applied for — and didn't get — a $92.7 million Smart Grid Investment Grant, but decided to soldier on with the $185.4 million project without it. Schneider Electric goes virtual too : French giant Schneider Electric was able to save 1.5 cents per kilowatt hour with the company's new virtual power plant insta llation in New York City's Rockefel ler Center. Schneider covers the upfront costs in return for later sharing in revenues from the energy savings. Downtown Charlotte gets green with Duke Energy and Cisco : Charlotte Center City Partners, a local economic and cultural development group, Duke Energy and Cisco are collaborating on a program to cu t energy use in downtown core buildings by up to 20% by 2016. The project will involve about 60 buildings and the energy efficiency tools will be smart grid and building automation technologies , unique energy tracking tools and help for office workers in reducing their energy use. USPS locations get energy efficiency makeover : Surprise, the postal service wants to be green, too. Smart energy solutions provide r Gridpoint will install its adv anced monitoring and control systems in up to 2,250 postal service locations throughout the country. The postal service wan ts to cut its facility energy use by 30% by 2 015. Utilities are doing it too : American Electric Power, one of the country's biggest utilities, won EPA's Energy Star status by cutting energy use almost 16% from its 2007 level at its Columbus, Ohio, headquarters. Updated technologies, more efficient HVAC equipment, a reflective and more contributed to AEP's reduction. Of course , there are many more such projects on the drawing board and underway, and more to come as building efficiency gets more recognition as a practical way to save energy and money and cut emissions.

- Dominion MicroGrid Vision A microgrid is defined as an aggregation of electrical loads and generation. The generators in the microgrid may be fuel cells, reciprocating engines, solar power, wind or any of a number of alternate power sources. A microgrid may take the form of shopping center, industrial park or college campus. To the utility, a microgrid is an electrical load that can be controlled in magnitude.
