SUMMARY:A World Predominately Powered by Solar and Wind Energy? A Green Family Lecture Featuring Walter Kohn\, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/kohnABSTRACT:It is widely recognized that the fossil fuels\, oil and natural gas\, which currently provide almost 60% of the world’s energy consumption\, will be largely exhausted in a few decades. At the same time world population will have  increased by an estimated 30 to 40 percent by mid-century.To avoid a catastrophic energy shortage by mid-century\, these fuels must be replaced by  ecologically acceptable and sustainable alternatives. Solar and wind power appear to me the most promising candidates. Although\, at the present time they constitute only ~ 2 percent of the global energy consumption\, their production  has recently been rising by a spectacular 30 to 40% per year\, or a factor 15 per decade and 225 in 20 years.This arithmetic suggests that the entire deficit stemming from the impending exhaustion of oil and gas might be compensated in about 10 to 20 years by continuing aggressive commitment to solar and wind energy. Walter Kohn’s lecture will examine this speculation. “I find that it provides useful guidelines for the second half of the century and beyond. At the same time\, I find a very serious energy deficit during the one to two decades of transition from the present (oil-gas)-era to the (sol-wind)-era\, which will require additional measures.”\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:\nKohn has made major contributions to the physics of semiconductors\, superconductivity\, surface physics and catalysis.  He was the founding director of the Institute of         Theoretical Physics at the University of California in Santa Barbara\, which is one of the leading research centers in physics.  He has received numerous awards including the Niels  Bohr/Unesco Gold Medal\, the United States National Medal of Science and the Richard Prange Prize.  His role in creating Density Functional Theory\, the most widely used theory of the electronic structure of matter\, earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1998.  In recent years\, he was an active member of the U.S. government’s Basic Energy Science Advisory Committee and a consultant with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.  In 2005 he produced a documentary on solar power entitled “The Power of the Sun.”  Kohn currently works on Macular Degeneration\, renewable energies and global warming.   \nOriginally from Austria\, Walter Kahn studied mathematics and physics at the University of Toronto. He then completed his Ph.D. in nuclear physics and a posdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University followed by posdoctoral work at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen.

SUMMARY:Smart Grid Energy Research Center (SMERC) Smart Grid - Opportunities and challenges in the creation of the 21st Century Power Grid
DESCRIPTION:About the Talk Major portions of the US electric grid are half a century old\, and compared to other infrastructure\, the adoption of new technology into the US grid has been relatively slow.  This slow adoption of technology compared to other sectors such as telecommunications has been attributed to the reason that the existing grid is 99.97% reliable and therefore should not need upgrading.  However\, its structure and topology are relatively inflexible since its underlying framework was designed assuming unidirectional flow of power\, control and information.  As a result of this inflexible structure\, integrating common renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into the grid is prohibitively expensive and unwieldy.  Also\, electric vehicles\, now having been introduced in several markets of the country especially California\, present major challenges when plugged into the grid. A smart grid would allow two-way power flow\, two-way communications flow and two-way control flow.  This will allow the grid to be more flexible\, smart\, self-healing\, resilient\, and efficient.  To enable such a grid\, a host of advanced technologies such as information technology\, wireless and mobile devices\, sensor and control systems\, etc.\, have to be architected and integrated into the existing grid.  Research at UCLA’s Smart Grid Energy Research Center (SMERC) focuses on the integration capability of such technologies between the medium voltage distribution grid and the consumer’s interface into the grid. Research is being performed on the creation of smart grid services that are aggregated from consumers and offered through a distribution network in a smart grid.  The fundamental idea is to aggregate services at the consumer’s level with the permission and control of the consumer and then enable these aggregated services into utility-grade offerings.  For example\, if sufficient numbers of electric vehicle (EV) owners allow their local utility to extract power from their EVs during peak-demand periods\, the utility should be willing to offer customers incentives to do so.  An intermediate enterprise that aggregates 100 EVs with a nominal 6.6KW charging capacity / EV would be able to offer a 0.66MW Demand Response service into the local regulatory markets.  Beyond this service\, vehicles with bi-directional power flow can theoretically offer up to10x the power while discharging for short periods of time\, which would imply a 6.6MW short-term\, aggregation service capability.  With 1000 EVs in a region\, this capacity can in principle reach 66MW\, which is approximately UCLA’s peak power consumption.  With about 20\,000 cars parked in UCLA on a typical day\, if in the future 5% of its vehicles were EVs\, UCLA could participate in a short-time period micro-grid market and should be able to completely operate off-the-grid for a window of time without cutting power consumption in its facilities. UCLA SMERC is been developing a wireless monitoring and control platform called WINSmartGridTM (Wireless Internet Smart Grid) that is currently being deployed in parts of UCLA called the UCLA Smart Grid Living Lab.  Also\, UCLA SMERC is a participant in a DOE-ARRA regional demonstration project and is experimenting with research concepts in Automated Demand Response\, EV Integration (G2V and V2G) and Micro-grids using the WINSmartGridTM platform within the Living Lab.  The research platform accepts inputs from electrical loads such as EVs or air-conditioners\, ambient condition sensors such as temperature\, humidity or occupancy sensors\, and grid operator / grid condition input.  It is the platform on which an EV monitoring\, aggregation and control network has been developed.  Research is being performed on models of aggregation under constraints of user\, utility and facility\, verification of such models\, network architecture and performance verification for regulatory/market service\, and\, wireless-based monitoring and control systems and middleware in Smart Grids.  The talk will present research and technical opportunities and challenges\, upcoming market opportunities and their challenges\, and current research progress at UCLA’s Smart Grid Energy Research Center. About the SpeakerDr. Rajit Gadh is Professor of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at UCLA\, and\, Founder and Director the Smart Grid Energy Research Center or SMERC.   Dr. Gadh has a Doctorate degree from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)\, a Masters from Cornell University and a Bachelors degree from IIT Kanpur all in engineering.  He has taught as a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley\, has been an Assistant\, Associate and Full Professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and was a visiting researcher at Stanford University. Dr. Gadh’s current research interests include modeling and control of Smart Grids\, wireless monitoring and control of distribution-side and consumer-side electric grids\, automation architectures for Demand Response\, EV Integration architecture and control system\, optimized EV charging under constraints\, Vehicle-to-grid and Grid-to-grid interface\, Micro-grid modeling and control\, and\, wireless-sensor and RFID middleware architectures. Dr. Gadh’s research at SMERC is currently funded by DOE (UCLA is partnered with Los Angeles Department of Water and Power along with USC\, and\, JPL/Caltech for a regional demo grant\, Korean Institute for Energy Research (KIER)\, EPRI (funded by DOE)\, and the UCLA Smart Grid Industry Partners Program consisting of 18 industry sponsors.He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.  He has received the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award\, NSF Research Initiation Award\, and\, NSF-Lucent Industry Ecology Fellow Award\, Society of Automotive Engineers Ralph R.

SUMMARY:Closing the Environmental Justice Gap: A Workshop on Advancing Evaluation Methods
DESCRIPTION:Program evaluation methods have improved the design and effectiveness of a wide range of public policies.  Yet despite the adoption of new types of EJ programs\, there are relatively few applications of these evaluation methods to improve this first generation of EJ programs.  This event will bring together leaders from across the country to 1) examine the current state of EJ programs\, 2) assess the current state of EJ program evaluation\, and 3) explore strategies to further develop the sub-field of EJ program evaluation. This event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development National Center for Environmental Research. The USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity also provided financial support and guidance. Other partners include scholars from the UC Berkeley Department of Environmental Science\, Policy and Management\, the UC Berkeley School of Public Health\, and the Metropolitan Futures Initiative in the UC Irvine School of Social Ecology.PROGRAM:8:00 a.m. Check-In and Breakfast\, Room 306\n8:30 a.m. Introductory Remarks\, Room 314Welcome: J.R. DESHAZO\, Director\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation8:45 a.m. Panel 1: Background on EJ Policies and ProgramsFocus: This first panel will address the overall landscape of EJ programs and policies. Knowing the breadth and depth of EJ policies and programs is important to develop evaluation strategies\, as different types of EJ programs and policies will require different types of evaluation strategies. The panel will discuss the following questions and then open up to group discussion:• What is the definition of an EJ policy/program? What are considered EJ policies and programs?• What policies and program are not explicitly EJ but have EJ consequences?• What is the landscape of EJ policies and programs at a national\, state\, and local level?• Where are the programs and policies concentrated and under what categories?• How are EJ areas defined in these programs and policies? What are examples of differences in definition?\nModerator & Framer: RACHEL MORELLO-FROSH\, Associate Professor of Public Health and Environmental Science\, Policy & Manage\, UC BerkeleyPanelist: DEVON PAYNE-STURGES\, Assistant Center Director for Human Health ORD/ National Center for Environmental Research of the US Environmental Protection AgencyPanelist: ROMEL PASCUAL\, Deputy Mayor of Environment\, Los Angeles Mayor’s OfficePanelist: VERNICE MILLER-TRAVIS\, Member of the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council\, Vice Chair of the Maryland State Commission on Environmental Justice and Sustainable Communities\, and Co-Founder of WE ACT for Environmental JusticePanelist: ROBERT VERCHICK\, Chair in Environmental Law at Loyola University New Orleans\n10:15 a.m. Comfort Break\n10:30 a.m. Panel 2: Evaluation of EJ Policies and ProgramsFocus: This panel will explore the current state of EJ program and policy evaluation and firstgeneration tools\, with specific examples of completed evaluation. Panelists will respond to the following questions and then open to group discussion:• What role can evaluation research play in making EJ policies and programs more effective?• What is the state of EJ program and policy evaluation?• What are examples of EJ program and policy evaluation?• Where are the gaps in effectiveness of evaluation and how might we prioritize filling these gaps?\nModerator: DOUG HOUSTON\, Assistant Professor of Planning\, Policy & Design\, UC IrvinePanelist: KATHERINE DAWES\, Director\, Evaluation Support Division in the EPA Office of PolicyPanelist: PAUL ONG\, Professor of Urban Planning and Asian Studies in the UCLA Luskin School of Public AffairsPanelist: SHALINI VAJIHALA\, Deputy Assistant Administrator of the EPA Office of International and Tribal AffairsPanelist: PAUL MOHAI\, Professor in the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan\n12:00 p.m Lunch\n12:45 p.m.  Panel 3: Foundation and Government PerspectiveFocus: A panel of foundation and government agency representatives will reflect on how evaluation can strengthen program design and implementation. The panel will give an overview of what they are investing in and how these priorities are shaped.Moderator: MANUEL PASTOR\, Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California and Director of the USC Program for Environmental and Regional EquityPanelist: CHARLES LEE\, Deputy Associate Administrator for Environmental Justice at the U.S. EPAPanelist: RAMTIN ARABLOUEI\, Program Manager for Environmental Health and Environmental Justice at the Health and Environmental Funders NetworkPanelist: ERIN ROGERS\, Environment Program Officer for the William and Flora Hewlett FoundationPanelist: MICHELE PRICHARD\, Director\, Common Agenda at Liberty Hill\n1:30 p.m. Panel 4: Best Practices for EJ Program DesignFocus: Given major categories of EJ programs discussed in Panel 1\, panelists will discuss four example EJ programs representative of these categories. We will explore how to best evaluate the effectiveness of these programs\, recognizing that EJ programs may take a wide range of institutional forms\, and that these programs are often embedded in complex policy processes.Moderator: J.R. DESHAZO\, Professor of Public Policy and Director of the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation.Panelist: ADRIANO MARTINEZ\, Environmental Justice Project Attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council\, to discuss the Harbor Community Mitigation Fund at the Port of Los Angeles as an example of EJ programs that reduce pollution and/or mitigate disproportionate impacts.Panelist: MARVA KING\, EPA CARE Program Co-Chair\, to discuss the EPA’s CARE program\, an example of a community capacity building program.Panelist: NURY MARTINEZ\, Executive Director of Pacoima Beautiful\, to give a community perspective on the CARE program.Panelist: ZOE HELLER\, Environmental Protection Specialist with EPA Region 9\, to describe the Los Angeles Area Environmental Enforcement Collaborative\, an example enforcement program.Panelist: GEORGE ALEXEEFF\, Acting Director of the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment\, Cal/EPA\, to discuss OEHHA’s development of a screening methodology to assess cumulative impacts.3:00 p.m. Break-Out Groups: Development of a Research AgendaFocus: Building off the preceding panel\, participates will organize into break-out groups\, one per example program described in Panel 4. Participants will discuss considerations\, challenges\, and ideal approaches and methods to evaluate an example EJ program. The facilitator will give participants the opportunity to address the following types of questions:• Why it is important to evaluate this type of program?• What are the challenges in doing so?• What should be the key goals of the evaluation?• Is there an outcome or series of outcomes in a model of causuality that should be addressed in the evaluation?• What is an ideal framework and approach to evaluate this program?• What data is needed and who has it?• What key steps would be involved?\n4:15 p.m. Report Out from Break-Out Groups\n4:45 p.m. Closing RemarksKeynote: LISA GARCIA\, Senior Advisor to the Administrator for Environmental Justice\, U.S. Environmental Protection AgencySynthesis: MANUEL PASTOR\, USC Program on Environment and Regional Equity\n5:00 p.m. Reception\n6:00 p.m. Adjourn

SUMMARY:Local Energy Generation Resources: A Working Conference (July 25-26)
DESCRIPTION:This two day conference will address the issue of designing and implementing a local system of renewable energy production in California.Governor Jerry Brown has called for 12\,000 MW of renewable power generated within the local power distribution grid.   Implementing this effort will offer important advantages in California’s drive for clean power – development of local resources\, avoided costs of new intercity transmission or remote generation\, and additional consumer autonomy. But taking this goal to the level envisioned by the Governor calls for new approaches and new coalitions between consumers\, community leaders\, utilities and power providers.   Some of the challenges include:• financing tools that help build new power sources\, but also keep costs as low as possible.• improvements to existing wires and transformers\, and new policies to speed connections • policies and techniques to measure and manage power demand and variable power sources • new efforts in local land use\, building and fire codes to speed up deployment. Unlike the large utility-scale renewables projects\, which compete in a statewide market\, these projects are tied to the local grid\, and are more sensitive to local conditions.  Many of these issues stand outside or straddle the policy authorities of individual federal or local agencies.   No one constituency can resolve the challenges in every jurisdiction.    The two-day conference will explore these challenges in detail by engaging stakeholders in discussions with experts\, regulators and other stakeholder groups.   The invitation-only conference is intended to be highly participatory and requires extensive facilitation and advance work.  Some participants will take roles as participants or facilitators.   All participants will review discussion papers set for each panel\, as well as other conference materials (such as a paper describing technologies and their attributes.)  For more information visit the official website at http://gov.ca.gov/s_energyconference.php

SUMMARY:UCCS presents J.R. DeShazo - "Improving the Design of Local Solar Programs: A Case Study of Los Angeles"
DESCRIPTION:In the search for clean energy solutions\, new public policies are creating incentives for solar energy throughout California. J.R. DeShazo\, Director of the Luskin Center for Innovation\, will discuss his high-profile solar policy study that provides data on the potential impact that regional solar power policies can have on Los Angeles’ renewable power sources. Specifically\, his analysis of rooftop solar potential in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is endowed not only with bountiful sunshine\, but also with vast expanses of low-rise urban development that offers valuable sitting opportunities for distributed solar energy generation. In addition\, DeShazo will give a brief overview of his recent solar Feed-In Tariff research which resulted in Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s release of a long-term\, comprehensive solar plan\, including a proposal for a solar Feed-in Tariff program administered by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.  The information may prove useful for economic development planners\, solar photovoltaic (PV) installers\, utility planners\, building owners\, public administrators\, labor union leadership\, and anyone interested in the development of solar power in California.\nVisit http://bit.ly/jHkXF8 to register.
