Overview of the DOE Wind Program : 

Overview of the DOE Wind Program Organization: The WHTP is located within the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington D.C. Vision: Managing the public investment in reliable, affordable wind & water power to maximize energy security, economic vitality, & environmental quality. Focus: WHTP sponsors R&D activities to enable greater use of wind & water resources for electric power generation. Activities conducted through competitively selected projects & in partnership with federal, state, industry, national laboratories & other stakeholder groups. Resources: More detailed information at: windandhydro.energy.gov Specific funding opportunities may be monitored at: windandhydro.energy.gov/financial.html

Mission Statement : 

National Needs -> Administration Priorities Department of Energy goals: …advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States; to promote scientific and technological innovation in support of that mission... Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE): to strengthen the United States' energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality in public-private partnerships. Wind Program Mission: Focus the passion, ingenuity, and diversity of the nation to enable rapid expansion of clean, affordable, reliable, domestic wind and water power to promote national security, economic vitality, and environmental quality. Key Words: Clean, Affordable, Reliable, Domestic (Domestic = security & economics) Mission Statement

Wind Program Objectives : 

Wind Program Objectives Program Objectives Reduce cost of energy and increase U.S. market share (green jobs and economic revitalization) of wind industry Address barriers to 20% wind energy by 2030: technical, industrial, environmental and social Program Areas Technology Viability Develop state-of-the-art power systems Support research and testing Technology Application Facilitate interconnection to the utility grid Support U.S. manufacturing Technology Acceptance: Reduce barriers to responsible deployment Address environmental issues Support workforce development

Key Program Initiatives : 

Key Program Initiatives Wind Technology Research and Development Advanced component designs and reliability analysis Performance testing and compliance verification Renewable Systems Interconnection Wind energy on the utility grid – analysis, forecasting, management Wind Powering America Outreach and education to address market barriers Manufacturing and Supply Chain Development Environment & Siting Understanding wildlife and habitat impacts Industry Workforce Development Distributed Wind Small wind system testing; mid-scale turbine development Support for Community and Tribal Wind Offshore Wind Environmental research; interagency collaboration with MMS DOE TEAM Projects Renewable energy for Federal facilities; collaboration with FEMP

Role of PMC : 

Role of PMC Procurement Support - Prepare procurement strategy document - Conduct merit reviews - Prepare selection statements - Negotiate technical aspects of awards Project Management Conduct kickoff meetings Review quarterly financial and technical status reports on schedule Provide technical assistance Close out awards

PMC Monitoring Process : 

Ensures projects are conducted within the requirements and limitations of CFR Part 600; Energy Policy Act; National Environmental Policy Act; Environmental Safety & Health rules; DOE Orders and Directives; and DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy policies and guidelines. Monitor project progress compared to SOPO/milestones, Conduct site visits and project reviews, Monitor project financial status Maintain on-going relationship/communications with Principal Investigator and team members, Review interim and final reports, and Keep CO and program management apprised of progress as well as any issues for concern. PMC Monitoring Process

Wind Powering America : 

Wind Powering America Goal: By 2010, at least 100 MW installed in 30 states By 2018, at least 1000 MW installed in 15 states Annual Goals/Actuals *Red – Priority State *Yellow – Medium Priority State *Actuals through 2008 2000 Goal: 24 states with 20 MW by 2010 WPA Website: http://www.windpoweringamerica.gov/

20% Wind Energy by 2030 Report : 

20% Wind Energy by 2030 Report DOE published report in 2008 Conclusions include: - Achieving 20% will require enhanced transmission, streamlined siting & permitting, increased U.S. manufacturing and improved wind systems reliability and operability. - Achieving 20% will require over 3-fold increase in annual turbine installations (2K to 7K) - Wind can be reliably integrated for < 0.5cents/kWh - Cost allocation and siting offer significant challenges for required new transmission

20% Report Cont’d : 

20% Report Cont’d Explores one scenario for reaching 20% wind energy by 2030 (20% Wind Scenario) and contrasts it to a scenario in which no new U.S. wind power capacity (No New Wind) is installed. Is not a prediction or goal, but an analysis based on one scenario. Does not assume specific policy support for wind. Involved more than 100 individuals from 2006 -2008 (government, industry, utilities, NGOs). Analyzes wind’s potential contributions to energy security, economic prosperity, and environmental sustainability.

Primary Assumptions : 

U.S. electricity consumption grows 39% from 2005 to 2030 –to 5.8 billion MWh (Source: EIA) Wind turbine energy production increases about 15% by 2030 Wind turbine costs decrease about 10% by 2030 No major breakthroughs in wind technology needed R&D needed to increase reliability Primary Assumptions

More 20% (Positive) Impacts : 

More 20% (Positive) Impacts 46 States can have wind development by 2030. 20% Wind cuts electricity sector water consumption by 17% or 4 trillion gallons cumulatively by 2030. A cumulative total of 7,600 million metric tons of CO2 emissions will be avoided by 2030. Coal and natural gas consumption decreases under 20% scenario.

Report Response: FOA : 

Report Response: FOA DOE announced FOA in December 2008. Covered 6 Topical areas with 53 recipients receiving grants. Under Topic Area 2a: Market Acceptance -- 25 grants awarded totaling $2.816 million. “The 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Scenario will require significantly enhanced outreach efforts…”

Summary : 

Summary DOE is committed to helping grow the wind industry WPA is needed to continue outreach and education in support of economic development. WPA has demonstrated ability to customize approach to problem solving. Regional Alliances seem to be increasing especially in SE. Challenges include demonstrating wind energy value propositions and reducing siting and permitting barriers.
