AF Energy Strategy Senior Focus Group
Coordinated and developed various programs to improve supply and demand aspects of energy -- Established goals and metrics to manage progress.
Improved efficiency in aviation and infrastructure operations and invested in more energy efficient future systems.
Infrastructure: Energy Savings / Cost Avoidance – 100,000 homes Aviation: 9% reduction in flying hours, 7% reduction in jet fuel used
Encouraged use of alternative sources of energy for infrastructure and aviation applications(AF uses approx. 2.5 billion gallons of fuel annually)
Infrastructure: Was the nation’s largest single purchaser of renewable energy in FY05 (approx. one million megawatt-hours in FY05 and FY06)
Aviation: Supported synthetic fuel activities (currently exploring biofuel) --First B-52 test fight of a 50/50 blend of synthetic fuel and JP-8 in September 2006 – certified in August 2007

Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory
A research collaboration of:
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Colorado School of Mines
Colorado State University
University of Colorado at Boulder
The Collaboratory works with public and private partners to:
Create and commercialize renewable energy technologies
Build a clean, sustainable renewable energy economy for Colorado, the region, the nation and the world
Educate future scientists and engineers and train the renewable energy workforce.
13
CSU Initiative to Lead “Energy Efficiency and Management”
Colorado as an Energy Microcosm of the U.S.
Colorado has significant energy resources and has several energy initiatives under way
Application of a Systems Approach to Energy and the Environment
Work in progress on a systems-oriented approach complementing current activities – supporting a sustainable energy economy.
EducationStorageTransmissionEfficiencySecurity
14
Education
Address the need for a 21st century energy workforce and increase the awareness of our students and the general public.
15
Storage
Some power sources (i.e. wind and solar) are intermittent by nature but electricity must remain stable.
Energy Storage…• Responds to fluctuations in
energy demand
• Enables constancy by buffering power generation variations
• Increases efficiency by capturing and deploying otherwise wasted energy
Reference: J. Levine, G. Martin, R. Moutoux. “Large Scale Electrical Energy Storage in Colorado”. CERI Research Report. June 30, 2007
16
Transmission
There is a need to update transmission and distribution architecture and capacity in energy systems to accommodate the addition of new and diverse power sources.
• High-voltage transmission capacity is fully utilized during periods of high demand
• Minimal new transmission capacity has been added in the last decade
• New transmission capacity is not increasing at the same rate as energy demand
• Distribution enhancements are needed to absorb renewable power
17
Efficiency
ESTES will utilize a systems approach to optimize networks of existing and potentially new resources (supply and demand) to enhance efficiency through active management of energy systems.
• Integrated Energy Systems Models
• Policy
• Monitoring and Metering
• Routing, Switching and Conditioning
• Buildings, Equipment and Vehicles
• Stewardship of Energy and Environmental Resources
18
Security
Private and government organizations will work together to ensure the security and reliability of the future energy infrastructure.
• Robustness and Reliability
• Security of Supply
• Cybersecurity
Modeling and simulation support needed to solve critical energy infrastructure security challenges
19
ESTES Proposal
ESTES is a systems-oriented approach to a newsustainable energy economy in Colorado.
• Education – Utilizes unique capabilities of the Collaboratory
• Storage – Maximizes usefulness of intermittent power sources
• Transmission – Delivers available power reliably to the end user
• Efficiency – Addresses opportunities for Energy Demand
• Security – Ensures reliability of energy infrastructure
ESTES represents a state model for national energy policy

• Modernize and transform the electrical distribution system
• Improved efficiency and reliability
• Demonstration includes aggregation of distributed energy resources (DER) from approximately 5 participant locations. Total network ~40MW.
• Supported by the Northern Colorado Clean Energy Cluster
• Expected to last through April 2010.
