Abstract: The Austin SHINES solution is a distributed energy resource (DER) management platform that optimizes value in a system with a high penetration of distributed PV generation while maintaining the power quality and reliability associated with grid service. Austin SHINES recognizes that emerging DER assets such as solar and energy storage are part of an integrated, interconnected grid system and the benefits of these resources are maximized only when they are holistically coordinated with other grid assets. By operating these assets as a coordinated system, the Austin SHINES solution creates DER deployment and control strategies that enable the grid ecosystem to serve load at a technical cost of less than $0.14/kWh while enabling a high penetration of distributed solar. The Austin SHINES project aims to drive technology innovation and development as well as enable standards in the industry. Over the course of this 39-month project, AE will install over 3MW of distributed storage, smart inverters, a DER control platform, and other technologies to achieve the Austin SHINES solution under the U.S. Department of Energy Sustainable and Holistic Integration of Energy Storage and Solar PV (SHINES) funding opportunity. This seminar will discuss the diverse array of technologies, communication pathways, and applications of SHINES DERs, and the economic model created to guide the project.   Speaker(s): Tess Williams, Doosan, Location: Seattle, Washington
