On Energy Efficiency

As most of you know the largest source of
immediately available new energy is the energy
we waste every day. Indeed it is the cheapest
most abundant cleanest most readily available
source of energy Americans can access and your
work --- your leadership --- is the key to
unlocking its widespread use.Samuel Bodman
Secretary of Energy July 16 2007

22
Wireless Motor Sensing Saves Electricity

Motors consume over 63 of all electricity used
in industry.
Sensors are used to monitor the efficiency of
motors.
Wireless sensors enable durable low-cost
distributed monitoring especially for smaller
motors.
36 captured savings can be achieved from System
and Motor Maintenance and Motor Application
Practices resulting in annual energy savings of
122 trillion Btus by 2020.

23
Wireless Steam-Trap Sensing Saves Electricity

DOE is developing robust radio communications
flexible network protocols and security features
needed for the large-scale deployment of low-cost
industrial wireless sensors.
In addition to production line measurement and
control this low-cost technology will enable
wireless sensors to be used to determine energy-
and environmental-related process parameters that
are not traditionally monitored.

24
CHP - near term option for large EE improvements

Potential CHP Growth
Industrial
60 to 90 GW
Commercial/Institutional
50 to 75 GW

CHP is an accepted practice with
large steam consuming industrials
But growth opportunity is in smaller
systems and in new applications
Traditional applications below 20 MW
Medium size industrial plants that require both
power and process heat and commercial/institution
al sites such as college campus hospitals
military bases and other federal facilities
Non-traditional applications and unfamiliar users
such as medium size food processing plants that
require refrigeration and power and the growing
data center sector that requires intensive air
conditioning

25
A Plug-In Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Fuel Flexibility
26
Develop More Efficient Vehicles
Goal Develop advanced battery technologies that
allow a plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle to have a
40-mile range operating solely on battery charge

Current hybrids on the road run on a battery
developed at DOE national labs
Current hybrids can only use the gasoline engine
to charge the on-board battery.
Presidents plan would accelerate research in the
next generation of battery technology for hybrid
vehicles and plug-in hybrids which run on
either electricity or gasoline and are plugged
into the wall to recharge.
Advanced battery technologies offer the potential
to significantly reduce oil consumption in the
near-term by enabling drivers to meet most of
their urban commuting needs with virtually no
gasoline use.

Presidents Solar America Initiative
Achieve market competitiveness for photovoltaic
(PV) solar electricity by 2015

Solar America Initiative Accelerate the
development of semiconductor materials that
convert sunlight directly to electricity.
These solar photovoltaic PV cells can be used
to deliver energy services to rural areas and can
be incorporated directly into building materials
so that there can be future zero energy homes
that produce more energy than they consume.

29
Expanding Clean Energy from Wind
Program Focus Low wind speed technology for
large and small wind turbines onshore and
offshore and RD for integrating wind into
electric grid systems and distributed power
applications.

Improve the efficiency and lower the costs of new
wind technologies for use in low speed wind
environments and
support existing public-private partnerships
expand offshore wind technology development
Combined with ongoing efforts to expand
access to Federal lands for wind energy
development this new funding will help
dramatically increase the use of wind energy in
the United States.

30
The Presidents Advanced Energy Initiative goal
is to produce 20 of the Nations electrical
energy from wind technologies a vision that is
technically possible.

Wind Technology Market
1 Turbine 1.5 Megawatts (MW)
11600 MW installed in the U.S. lt1 of US energy
production.
70000 MW installed worldwide
3000000 MW of land-based resource potential in
the U.S.
One of the fastest growing energy producing
technologies second only to natural gas
U.S. leads world in annual wind capacity
installation

The wind industry is preparing for a 20-fold
increase in current production to reach one-fifth
of electricity production in the United States.
31
Program provides necessary information to policy
makers and regulators.

Challenges
Inconsistency results in instability and lack of
investment in manufacturing capability
Policy implementation affects industry growth and
stability.
Options
Production tax credits
Renewable portfolio standards (RPS)
Green pricing programs
Carbon valuation
Net metering (for distributed wind applications)

Twenty three states and D.C. have RPS policies
32
DOE-supported activities accelerate wind energy
capacity growth.
Wind capacity deployment has increased 5-fold
since 1999
16 states with over 100 MW of wind installed
today from 4 States in 1999 new investment of
15 billion over 8 years.
