EIO to work with Ohio Homeland Security,
Domestic Preparedness - Protect Committee
EIO additions included in updated Ohio HS
Strategic Plan

• DETECTION AND PREVENTION
• Strategic Goal Prevent terrorists from using
  energy production, systems, distribution and
  supplies to disrupt and/or debilitate the economy
  or to endanger the safety and well-being of
  Ohios citizens.
•  
• OBJECTIVES
• Develop a detailed threat assessment of Ohio
  energy infrastructure
• Form an advisory committee for energy security
• Assist Ohio-based energy sector leaders
  w/security plans
• Provide resources for WMD detection equipment

EIO additions included in updated Ohio HS
Strategic Plan - continued

• PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND KEY
  ASSETS
• Strategic Goal Establish Energy (supply and
  distribution) as being the primary set of
  critical infrastructure and assets underpinning
  all other Homeland Security Efforts. Elevate the
  priority of Ohio HS efforts focused on energy
  related detection, protection, response and
  restoration to the level commensurate with its
  significance.

• With corresponding objectives in
• - Electric Sector
• - Oil and Natural Gas Sector
• - Shared Electric and Oil Natural Gas
  Sector objectives

SEP-FUEL CELL Awareness Infrastructure
Developmentfor Homeland Security Needs

• Funded by the Ohio Department of Development
• in partnership with the Village of Brooklyn Hts,
  Ohio.
• Practical demo of fuel cell, diesel engine and
  microturbine
• DG devices at Brooklyn Hts. Community Ctr.
• (Red Cross Facility) - testing a system to
  meet response
• strategy needs for Homeland Security
  emergencies
• Provide DG Recipe for citizens security
  safety needs
• secure shelter with heat, electricity, lighting

SEP-FUEL CELL Awareness
Infrastructure Development Cont.

• Identify changes in legislation policies needed
  for broadened use of emergency power and DG
  overall
• Define requirements and obstacles for
  transporting the blueprint model to broad
  scale
• Examine interconnect issues, safety and training,
  practicality and incentives for expanding DG
  capacity and reliance
• Explore means to facilitate expansion of mobile
  and permanent, stationary DG to also be used in
  emergency situations

Training Development Plan Sponsored by U.S.
DOE OEDER First Responder Training (Seed
Grant)

• Objective Develop plan for training that will
  ensure emergency DG devices are brought on-line
  and monitored by trained first responders in
  Homeland Security situations
• Assess training needs of first
• responders
• Developing necessary

Why DG? Which DG? Trends

• Refocused on importance of energy
• via Homeland Security
• - Iraq sabotage, WWII Germany Japan
• - Decentralized power low vulnerability
• - DG security investments
•  
• Efficiency, renewables DG add
• reliability and energy independence
• - Augment the grid ? more secure
• homeland
• - Higher penetration, more affordable,
• financing ?
