Benefits of PV can include energycost savings, insulation from utility rate escalation, renewable energy creditsas directed under EPACT05 as well as future benefits such as energy independenceand electrical security. The 14.2 MW array at Nellis AFB was the first of its kind.In operation for over two years now, the system is providing valuable performancedata and lessons for future projects. This presentation will share information from thedeveloper/EPC contractor on what it takes to develop and deliver an alternative energyproject like the one at Nellis.Karen Butterfield, Director of Federal ProgramsSunPower Corporation15:30 Networking Break16:00 BriefingA Consideration of DoD Wind Integration• Creating an awareness of DoD wind requirements• Reviewing geographical considerations of wind farms in military installations• Overcoming mission conflicts and military training needsGary Seifert, Technical Leader for Power TechnologyIdaho National Laboratory16:45 BriefingApplying Nuclear Power to Land-Based Military Needs• Leveraging heat from nuclear reactors• Understanding the safety concerns surrounding nuclear generators• Considering the problem of nuclear wasteRoger McCauley, DirectorOakridge National Laboratory17:30 Closing Remarks by the Chair and End of Day One07:00 Registration and Morning Coffee08:00 Chairman's Opening Address08:15 BriefingEnergy Security as the Long Term Goal for the Developmentof Alternative Energy• Reducing the reliance on foreign sources of energy• Discussing energy efficiency and population growth• Meeting the energy security net zero goalDr Kevin Geiss, Program Director, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Armyfor Installations & EnvironmentUS Army9:00 BriefingDeveloping Energy Surety Microgrids for Military Applications• Improving mission readiness• Integrating renewables with other distributed generation• Utilizing smart grid technology Mike Hightower, Distinguished Member of Technical StaffSandia National Laboratory9:45 Networking Break10:15 BriefingLinking National Security to Energy Production and Delivery• Discussing weak links in the nations energy security infrastructure• Addressing the nations long term energy profile• Realizing the effects of destabilization of nationsDrexel Kleber, Director of Strategic Operations Power Surety Task ForceOffice of the Secretary of Defense11:15 Interactive workshopThe Ready, Aim, Fire approach to Solar• Ready: The benefits of solar• Aim: Considerations before ever executing your solar project• Fire: Making your project happen and hurdles to avoid• Solar installation case presentedRich Bailey, General Manager - Commercial Projects BP Solar12:30 Topical LuncheonThe Pros and Cons of Renewable Energy SourcesPerpetual and renewable energy resources have their own advantagesand disadvantages.
