ESB N / EPRI /ERC Wind Demonstration Project

• A. Exploration of Voltage / Var control on
• Distribution connected wind farms
• B. Use of voltage regulators to limit voltage
  rise
• C. Single transformer cluster stations for wind
• farms

Smart Networks

• Green circuits
• Self Healing Networks
• Losses Reduction.
• Voltage Upgrading i.e. 20kV Conversion
• Dynamic re-configuration of networks to minimise
  losses
• Re-conductoring
• Amorphous core transformers
• Installation of Capacitor banks
• Lower average supply voltage using line drop
  compensation

Electric Vehicles Government Targets for 2020

• 10 of all Vehicles will be electric
• Battery or PHEV
• 250k vehicles
• 10 of all road transport
• energy will be renewable

Issues

• Can the Electricity Grid cope with EVs?
• Are the Batteries up to it?
• Will the Vehicles have sufficient range?
• Will there be affordable vehicles available?
• Will charging infrastructure be available and
  will it be standard across Europe?
• Are there opportunities for Ireland Inc?

Can the Electricity Grid cope with EVs?
in 2020
16
Solving Range Needs

• 86 of Irish work commutes under 50km (return)
• Battery EVs can easily meet most daily needs
• But occasional needs for longer journey both
  actual and psychological (Range Anxiety)
• Range Extension provided different ways
• Plug-in Hybrids
• Battery Electric Vehicles
• Battery Exchange
• Fast Charging of Battery

Negotiating Supply of Vehicles

• Non Exclusive Agreement
• Infrastructure requirements and roll-out
• Short-term Incentives needed to kick start market
• Education
• Supply of Vehicles
• Discussions with other vehicle manufacturers
• Imminent agreement with some others
