WORK HISTORY
Principal @Tierra Resource Consultants
Collaborating with the IBACOS team to develop our Advanced Clean Communities Collaborative (AC3) framework. The AC3 framework has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to advance its “Connected Communities” initiative, the goal of which is to deploy new technology to transform thousands of homes and workplaces into state-of-the-art, grid-connected, energy-efficient buildings. At scale, these connected communities will directly contribute towards a net-zero carbon economy and provide a model for reducing the building sector’s emissions profile. The AC3 team comprises a diverse group of accomplished organizations; leaders in the utility, housing construction / retrofit, and renewable energy industries. • Designing and modeling the applications for Bitcoin Mining as a dispatchable resource for Duke Energy to curtail load on par with conventional Demand Response (DR) technologies. The team is developing representative market scenarios to forecast technology potential and characterizing other beneficial grid applications, including improved reliability / resiliency, locational value, methane flaring alternatives, etc. In partnership with Advanced Energy, the study will also inform DR test protocols for a 64 kW Bitcoin mining facility installed at Duke’s microgrid test center. The control standards will include OpenADR, 2030.5, IEC 61968-5, and will feature a secure, two-way communications framework. Test outputs will be used to calibrate model input assumptions and pre-empt potential challenges faced by larger technology use cases. • Developing Advanced Energy Communities (AEC) in partnership with Energize Fresno and the California Energy Commission (CEC). Tierra has completed comprehensive Distributed Energy Resource (DER) deployment strategies for 16 projects in Fresno, California, all of which have been approved and are slated for construction. Tierra continues to provide Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) support as needed.
