SECTION B: Project report and reflection 1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives. This project supports a research report which identifies the current DC community power landscape and opportunities in the APEC region. APEC Workshop on Smart DC Power Opportunity for Community was organized to bring together leading researchers, private sector representatives and government representatives from APEC member economies. The workshop targeted both the presentation of best practices and the recommendations of the next steps forward in the development of an overall roadmap for smart DC community power systems in the APEC region. 2. Meeting objectives: Describe how the project met each of its proposed objectives. Please outline any challenges you may have encountered in delivering the activity. There are 3 main objectives for this project: 1) Develop an initial report identifying and reviewing best practices and opportunities for DC power systems for community in the APEC region 2) Conduct the APEC Workshop on Smart DC Power Opportunity for Community 3) Develop a final report on the DC Community Power Workshop and prepare summary materials The results from the project have met the proposed objectives. The initial report, the workshop and the final report were completed successfully. One of the challenges of this project is the novel nature of the project topic. “DC Community Power” topic is a new area which is currently gaining more interests because renewable energies such as solar PV are being deployed all around the world and devices are moving toward power electronic systems. With PV and power electronic devices, DC (direct current) system has superior efficiency than the AC (alternating current). However, the current power utility of the world is mainly AC. Therefore, there are only few best practices and resources on the implementation of DC power systems in the community level. However, with this challenge, there is a great opportunity to develop the roadmap for transitioning AC based systems to the more efficient DC based systems. Another challenge that was encountered is the postponing of the workshop. This is due to the unrest situation in Thailand around May 2014. 3. Evaluation: Describe the process undertaken to evaluate the project upon completion. (e.g. evaluation through participant surveys, peer reviews of outputs, assessments against indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.). Provide analysis of results of evaluations conducted and where possible include information on impacts on gender. Evaluation data needs to be included as an appendix.

There are 4 evaluation indicators for this project as follows: 3.1) The first indicator is the number and range of APEC economies choosing to participate in the workshop, the participating organizations and agencies and the seniority or appropriateness of representation. This will indicate the success of the workshop in engaging its target audience.

The participating APEC economies are China, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand, The United States and Viet Nam totaled 10 economies. There are the total 42 participating organizations from government, university, research institutions, power generator, utility provider, international organization, private companies, and NGOs. There are 90 male participants (78%) and 25 female participants (22%) in the workshop. The names and participating organization are listed in appendix D-1. 3.2) The second indicator is the content and quality of the presentations and their focus on the objectives of the workshop. The specific objectives for the workshop are as follows:

1. Identifying and reviewing best practices and opportunities for DC Power Systems in the APEC region 2. Identifying key barriers, R&D and Implementation plan recommendations for DC community power 3. Developing an overall roadmap for smart DC community power development in the APEC region

Therefore, the workshop was arranged in 3 parts according to the specific objectives. The first part focused on presentations for identifying and reviewing best practices and opportunity for DC Power Systems. (The expert and consultation list are shown in appendix D-2) The second part was the break out group discussion session to determine the key barriers and recommendation plans. The third part is the main brainstorming session to determine the overall roadmap for the Smart DC Community power development. The workshop agenda is shown in appendix D-3. 3.3) The third indicator is the ability of the workshop participants to promote greater engagement by APEC Economies in the development of DC community power systems. After the APEC workshop, the APEC participants also organized and participated in several conferences and meetings to promote engagement in the area of DC power systems such as: the 2015 IEEE First International Conference on DC Microgrids on June 7-10, 2015 at Atlanta, Georgia, USA; First Web Meeting of the DC Residential Standard Committee on December 18, 2015; DC Microgrid Roundtable Session in the Darnell’s Energy Summit on September 29-30, 2015 at Los Angeles, California, USA; and the IEC-BIS International Conference on Low Voltage Direct Current on October 26-27, 2015 at New Delhi, India. 3.4) The fourth key indicators will be the quality of the consultant’s output. The completed APEC conference evaluation forms were collected from delegates on completion of the conference, and analyzed to assess participant views. The consultant had satisfactory analyzed and reported the concept, current situation, technology, policy and benefits regarding the smart grid and DC community power in the APEC economies. In addition, the best practices of DC power systems were summarized according to the APEC member economies. The consultants also successfully organized and summarized the output from the APEC workshop on Smart DC Power Opportunity for Community. The evaluation forms were collected from the delegates. The summary of the evaluations are shown in appendix D-4. Workshop website, presentations, and reports are indicated in appendix D-5. 4. Output indicators: Describe the main project outputs below. This may include workshops, tools, research papers, reports, recommendations, best practices, action plans. . Indicators # planned # actual Details or notes

5. Outcomes: Describe any specific medium-term changes to policy, processes or behavior that can be attributed to result from this activity. Please include details on: • What indicators were used to measure medium-term impact? (Example indicators: type/number of

policies/ regulations/processes changed, % of businesses conforming to new standards, change in sector’s commercial activity, # individual action plans developed, # agencies using resource or tools etc.)

• Monitoring plans in place and proposed indicators to measure impacts, including any impacts on gender. Please summarise relevant information.

For direct measurement will be the number of conference and meetings dedicated to DC power; the

number of DC enabled devices in the market; and the number of HVDC power distribution network. It is very difficult for changes in policy or behavior that is directly for DC community power systems since this is quite a new topic. However, DC power is related to other relavent area which has shown to have policies and regulations changes especially in Thailand such as Smart Grid Roadmap, Community Power Policy, Renewable Energy Policy and Energy Conservation Policy. Monitoring plans and proposed indicators have to be derived from the relevent policy, process or behavior changes attributed to Smart Grid, Renewables and Energy Conservation area in the APEC economies. For example, the number of subsection from those areas that related to DC power. Impact on gender must be derived from those areas as well.

6. Participants (compulsory for events): Must be gender-aggregated. May be included as appendix.

Comments: What was the approach undertaken for participant nomination/selection and targeting? Please provide details. What follow-up actions are expected? How will participants/beneficiaries continue to be engaged and supported to progress this work? The nomination and selection are designed to cover all stakeholders such as academic and researchers/ private companies: device makers, utility provider, power generator/ government and regulator/ NGOs. Only part of the attendee of the workshop are experts on DC power systems or have some knowledge of the DC technology. Most of the attendee are relevant stakeholders from the smart grid, renewable energies and power electronic devices. The workshop is created as the platform to share the ideas and facilitate discussions. Based on the recommendations from the workshop, several workshop participants already got together to participate in activities of further sharing information. Information via email are being sent though the network as well. 7. Key findings: Describe 1-3 examples of key findings, challenges or success stories arising from the project (e.g. research or case studies results, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue, impacts on gender). Key Barriers: Lack of Global Standards DC Power/ Lack of DC application understanding/ Lack Leadership in policy to promote DC power application

Best Practices: Industry association developing standards leading to the rapid adoption of DC power distribution/ Pilot projects, Demonstration sites & Collaborative projects between APEC economies to create better understanding in DC power area Road Map – Way forward: Develop Global DC Standard/ Information Exchange to Stake Holders – user, utility, building owner, device manufacturer/ Issuance of possible resolution to promote DC technology as cost-effective & efficient technology (Demand side)/ Develop appropriate financing mechanism for DC smart grid development and local manufacturing capability/ Introduce regulation & requirement for new building code to include dual system/ Promote deployment on the remote islands

8. Next steps: Describe any planned follow-up steps or projects, such as workshops, post-activity evaluations, or research to assess the impact of this activity. How will the indicators from Question 5 be tracked? How will this activity inform any future APEC activities? Section 3.3 above have already described the planned follow-up projects after the workshop such as the 2015 IEEE First International Conference on DC Microgrids, First Web Meeting of the DC Residential Standard Committee, DC Microgrid Roundtable Session in the Darnell’s Energy Summit and IEC-BIS International Conference on Low Voltage Direct Current. Other research projects and demonstrations are DC devices from private companies, DC smart homes, DC power for data centers, and low voltage DC usage during brownout situations from member economies such as China, Japan, USA, and Thailand. The aims of these research and meetings are to create awareness and share information regarding to the DC power systems as the energy conservation media and best for the future energy/communication application with power electronics. The main goal is to strengthening the network of all stakeholders both public and private to develop the global DC power standards to enhance the DC power and device market. These activities could help support capacity building for experts in DC powers to apply with the APEC activities in the promotion of energy efficiency devices and PV as renewables in various EWG thematic programs. Updates on DC power system activities can be informed though EGNRET meetings. 9. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have suggestions for more effective support by APEC fora or the Secretariat? Any assessment of consultants, experts or other stakeholders to share? The Secretariat examines feedback trends to identify ways to improve our systems. This topic of DC power systems is quite new but very important in the future of efficient energy usage and renewable energy. In order to move forward with the opportunity, there is a need to have a common DC power standards among the member economies. It would truly be beneficial if APEC can be the platform to help bring the consensus and set up the common standards. The Standards must be agreed upon by the government, regulator, utility, device manufacture and user. In addition, APEC can also be the platform to share information relevant to DC power systems.

APEC Workshop on Smart DC Power Opportunity for Community

Chiang Mai World Green City Chiang Mai, Thailand

10-‐11 November 2014

Rational and Workshop Expectations: Smart direct current (DC) community power systems have the capability to provide energy services at the community level. Such systems are particularly suited for the rural areas of developing APEC member economies that often lack grid connected electrical service. Smart DC power systems link together electricity produced from renewable energy systems and efficient DC appliances including electric vehicles (EVs) without the need for costly conversion of the power from DC to AC via inverters, which are typically utilized in fossil energy based microgrids.

This workshop will bring representatives from the research community, industry, and government officials to help provide the opportunity assessment for smart DC community power in the APEC economies. At the end of the workshop, DC community power system roadmap, best practices, key barriers, key R&D topics, application and implementation recommendations will be derived.
