Seminar series –post on
DTE
Energy: Plug-in Electric Vehicles & the Grid, Utility Prespective
Speaker:
Mr. Nick Carlson, DTE Energy
http://www.ece.eng.wayne.edu/~sjiang/Seminars/index.html
Time:
Hall of Fame,
(more information:
electricity to 2.2 million customers in
southeastern
1903, Detroit Edison is the
largest electric utility in
of the largest in the
nation. As evidenced by its
involvement in
electrical vehicle programs
(1980-90s) and its Intelligent Link in-home
load control project
(1990s), Detroit Edison is considered an industry
leader in new technologies and
Smart Grid-related activities.
DTE Energy has been very
active in the electrification of vehicles and is
working closely with
automotive manufactures to ensure the grid is ready
for the commercialization of
electric vehicles. In 2008, DTE Energy was
awarded a $5 million grant
from the MPSC to study Plug-in Electric
Vehicles (PEV). DTE Energy has been analyzing
plug-in electric vehicles
to understand the near and
mid-term vehicle-utility impacts.
Additionally, DTE Energy has
been studying the transfer of electricity
during peak load times, the
environmental impact of PHEVs, and how AMI
and
demand response strategies
will impact electric system load curves and
generation mix and capacity requirements.
Nicholas (Nick) Carslon,
Systems Technologies
Nick Carlson is an engineer
in Power Systems Technologies at
PEV activities. In addition,
his recent efforts include investigating the
impacts of PEV on the electric
distribution system. Nick is an active
member on DTE Energys
internal Smart Grid team.
In his six years at DTE
Energy, Nick has also worked as a distributed
resource planning (DRP) engineer and
a distribution relay engineer. During
his time in the DRP group,
he project managed multiple installations of
distributed generation on the DTE
Energy electrical distribution system.
As a relay engineer, Nick
performed network protection studies and
provided system protection
recommendations to his management.
Mr. Carlson is also involved
in a MPSC PHEV pilot project as well as the
DOE FreedomCAR
Partnership. The Partnership examines and advances
pre-competitive, high-risk
research and development to generate the
components and fuel
infrastructure necessary to enhance the
commercialization of a full
range of affordable cars and light trucks
including fuel cells, hybrids and
plug-in electric vehicles.)

The agenda for the teleconference this
Thursday is shown below:
1) IEEE Support
2) Update on announcement status
3) Update on Web support
4) Update on P2030
5) Draft keynote
speech
6) Any other items
7) End Teleconference
IEEE marketing sent out the announcement to
outside organizations. CEATI did not receive, but not known if others
didn’t.
IEEE SA is the only IEEE organization that
sent out announcement to members that is known.
The link sent in the announcements was
incorrect.
Mary contacting presidents of societies to
make sure second announcement gets sent to members.
IEEE setting up webpage on SCC21 site, but
not up yet. This should have schedule, bios and announcement
information.
IEEE marketing waiting on webpage before sending
out second announcement.
The delays in sending out information and
the incorrect link sent may cause problems. Waiting to hear latest date
from EPRI for number needed. Should consider the last announcement to
have a deadline extension date.
------------------Stay
tuned------Thanks.
