Advanced Energy Basics

• Non-profit public benefits corporation funded by
  electric bill surcharge.
• Formed in 1980 by the NC Public Utilities
  Commission.
• Focus on energy efficiency, electrotechnologies
  and green power.

4
Outline

• Efficiency and Air Quality
• Efficiency and Technology Economics
• Renewables
• Bringing it Together Economics

5
Source of Air Quality Problems

• Conversion of energy into work and byproducts
• Can clean the conversion byproducts
• What they should do
• Can reduce consumption
• What we can do

Emissions Impact

• 3.5 million households in NC
• Save 3,300 kWh/household/year
• 4,610 pounds CO2 reduction
• 16 million pounds CO2 reduction in NC

13
Economics

• Benefit to builder is
• Benefit to buyer is
• Benefit to community is reduced energy
  consumption and emissions

14
Industry

• Motors As much as 70 of electricity used in
  industry goes through a motor
• Slight increase in motor efficiency can save lots
  of energy
• Key is reliability

Motor Efficiency and AQ

• 100 hp motor
• 1 efficiency gain 5,500 kWh savings
• 7,700 pounds CO2 reduction per year

17
Motor Efficiency and AQ

• 100 hp motor
• 1 efficiency gain 5,500 kWh savings
• 7,700 pounds CO2 reduction per year
• Only 431 per year savings

18
Key Barriers
Purchase cost is just the tip of the iceberg!

• Lack of awareness Perception by plant
  management that energy saving opportunities are
  small and not cost-effective

• First cost thinking Lack of recognition by
  supplier and customer that energy costs arekey
  part of pumps life cycle costs

• Lack of Corporate Energy Management Energy not
  part of most corporations business strategy
• Limited plant staff Plant engineering has
  little time to find energy saving opportunities

Energy Costs 750,000
Maintenance Misc. Costs 260,000
19
Industry

• Electrotechnologies
• Powder coating VOC reduction, improved product
  quality, improved productivity, improved profits
• Process heating better control

20
Industrial Economics

• Companies MUST make money
• Energy consumption is small part of their picture
• Find the companys pain and help fix it.
  Solution often reduces emissions and saves energy

Transportation

• Hybrid Electric School Bus
• Produced in North Carolina
• Energy savings
• Emissions reductions
• Jobs

23
Renewable Energy

• NC GreenPower
• Wind, solar
• Biomass
• Landfill gas

24
Bringing It Together

• No single silver bullet
• Figure out how to make money or ease pain
• Make their job easier
• Reduce costs
