Ice Bear: A Distributed Energy Resource
• The “Ideal Battery”
– Reduces ~6 kW of On-Peak demand
– Shifts 32 kWh (95%) of A/C energy to off-peak
• 5 MWH of Peak Shift Annually

– Reduces Carbon & NOx Emissions by ~50%
– Consumes the same amount of energy as a standard “DX” HVAC
system

• Provides cooling for 6 – 10 hours
– Nominal settings are from 12 noon to 6 pm (6 hours)
– Runs autonomously, or can be remotely dispatched

• SmartGrid Ready
– Aggregated to Multi-MW scale
– 100% on-line

Slide 6

Ice Energy is more than just the Ice Bear
• “The power grid is the largest machine ever made by
mankind”
– Millions of components working together, in true
synchrony, yet fault tolerant


Slide 7

Ice Energy is more than just the Ice Bear
• Utilities have their ways of integrating and
controlling this massive resource
– Secure, complex, tightly integrated control environment

– Historically, a “closed” architecture
• New technologies and drivers are forcing change
– Renewable Sources, Internet, Deregulation, Smart
Devices, Open Architectures…
– Industry response…the Smart Grid.
– How we facilitate integration is critical to large scale
deployment


Slide 8

Ice Energy is more than just the Ice Bear
• Integrating at the device level is difficult
– Burdened with communication, safety, control, and
security issues
• Smart Meter, PCT, RAS, Local Generation examples
• The Ice Bear has avoided these issues, as a device
behind the meter
– Influx of new players to address this problem
• We can anticipate 20 years of development, new
standards, changing industry structure

• Integrating within SCADA is comparatively easy
– Supervisory Control is common, and easily integrated
– Data Historians are a ubiquitous tool for Data Access


Slide 9

Utility Requirements
• “Can we control it?”
– The prospect of controlling 20,000 separate Ice Bears is
daunting

• “Can we rely on it?”
– Availability is critical. And can you really manage 20,000
units?

• “Can you prove it?”
– Information / Data Reporting

• “Does it work with what I have?”
– Regulated and “closed” architecture

• “Will it work with SmartGrid?”
– This is a moving target, with lots of players. How do we fit?


Slide 10

The Utility’s Perspective: SCADA


Slide 11

Ice Energy Utility Solution
• Integrate simply with utility SCADA Systems
(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
– Supervisory Control

• Phase 1: Utility defines standard Ice Bear Operation
• Phase 2: Utility modifies control strategy monthly,
weekly, daily, or hourly
– Provide an interface as per each utility’s needs
– Data Acquisition

• Provide PI connectivity to the utility to serve results
• Connects securely, seamlessly to our server

• Utility middleware is bypassed
– Reducing risk, constraints, complexity, and time

Slide 25

Large Scale Utility Requirements


“Can we control it?”
– Phase 1: Utility provides nothing more than a standard operating schedule
– Phase 2: We provide a Supervisory Control interface to the utility, designed to
meet their specific needs



“Can we rely on it?”
– OSIsoft is a proven reliable backbone, already vetted and accepted by the utility
industry.
– Ice Bear reliability has been proven in Utility-sponsored pilots and customer
installations



“Can you prove it?”
– You have all your data via a dedicated PI Server at your site.



“Does it work with what I have?”
– Our solution integrates PI-to-PI, and does not require integration to SCADA
middleware. In fact, we enable a faster, easier path for connectivity to
additional DSM resources.



“Will it work with SmartGrid?”
– Yes. We don’t impose ourselves on the architecture, rather, we are designed to
fill in the gaps and dovetail with what exists.
