Grid Interactive Buildings with Mark Kleinginna and Jared Rodriguez
Today on the Solar Podast: How buildings and thermal energy can be used in concert to balance the grid. Active Power Management is discussed as a solution.
More Reliable Grid
Texas Grid Collapse in Feb 2021 is the context
Grid is changing, we are electrifying HVAC, transportation, adding batteries…
Intro – Mark Kleinginna (Integral Energy), Jared Rodriguez (Emergent Urban Concepts)
Electric heating is a double edge sword…lower temps means lower efficiencies of air source heat pumps. The TX grid peaked at 76 gigawatts compared to 68 GW expected.
If ERCOT had gone full black out it could have taken weeks to restart the grid
Active Power Management
• Reduces energy consumption
• Reduces building operating expenses by rejecting overvoltage from local utilities,
which building owners pay for
• Reduces power demand
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions from associated power consumption
• Positively impacts building power systems and downstream equipment reliability,
• Reduces costs required for potential upgrades to metering, internal distribution &
controls
• Increases life expectancy of downstream building equipment
• Improves tenant-owner relations and satisfaction, providing the ability to ask for
higher rental rates

The Solar Podcast is brought to you by Continental Energy Solutions with host Tim Montague, NABCEP PV Technical Sales. Continental is the largest commercial & industrial solar installer (solar EPC) in Illinois with over 100 projects and 60 MW of rooftop, ground mount and utility scale solar installations in the Midwest.
We interview solar professionals, manufacturers, developers, financiers and other subject matter experts on renewable energy, energy storage and the energy transition. We dive into how solar creates ROI for facility owners, how solar finance works, solar economics, pollinator friendly solar, and solar equipment and technology trends. Whenever possible we put a Midwest spin on your solar and storage news.
