        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: 1:30PM-3:00PM Place: Wayne State University College of Engineering 

        Hall of Fame, 5050 Anthony Wayne Dr.

        Detroit, MI 48202  

 

(more information: Detroit Edison, DTE Energys electric utility, generates and distributes

electricity to 2.2 million customers in southeastern Michigan.  Founded in

1903, Detroit Edison is the largest electric utility in Michigan and one

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, Detroit Edison  DTE Energy, Engineer, Power

Systems Technologies

Nick Carlson is an engineer in Power Systems Technologies at Detroit

Edison. Currently, he is responsible for managing various Smart Grid and

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.)

Kickoff –

IEEE P1809 - Grid Infrastructure for Electric Transportation - Feb.4 11am EST Conf. Call

 

The dial in information for the next IEEE SCC40 PMSS teleconference on Thursday, February 4 at 11 am EST (8 am PST) is shown below. I have attached a draft keynote speech and the PAR.

 

Conference code: 3832387721

Reservationless-Plus Toll-free dial-in number (US and Canada): (877) 549-3857

Reservationless-Plus International dial-in number:(720) 239-6074

 

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.
