1 Breakout Session EPRI 11/09/10 Developing a vision for integrated water/energy/waste distributed systems  Drivers  Benefits and Opportunities  Applications (retrofit and greenfield)  Political and social barriers  Challenges (smart grid)  Economies of scale to economies of integration

2 Next Steps  Identifying who should be involved?  EPRI, WaterRF, WERF, WateReuse RF, ASME, National Labs, State government (policy), someone from solid waste  Create structure  Identify methods within each core silo – water/wastewater/ solid waste/energy  Identify overlaps

3 Draft Proposal Lead organization – ASME? Define scope and objectives Assembly existing case studies – bring in utlities Bring to federal agencies together to request money – EPA, DOE (Nick!!), Find endorsers - CEQ (Council of Environmental Quality)

4 Climate Change Scenario Planning

5 Definition of Sustainability

6 Combined Consumer Marketing -----communicate understanding to public of the term ‘asset life’

7 Distributed Power Generation What technologies work at a small scale Siting small projects in urban areas (NIMBY) – social/political Planning for Distributed power – best locations to optimize grid Security advantages

8 Desalination – It’s not just a Western Issue

9 Cooling Technology at Power Plants --Dry cooling -- Heat Recovery

10 Reaching out to other Organizations, I.e. Society of Mechanical Engineers to inform

11 Decentralized Wastewater/Mater Mgmt barriers – regulatory and political Section 208 – USEPA interpretation does this still apply as originally envisioned

12 Integrated, Distributed System make the business case next wave in public service utilities

13 Community-scale energy recovery systems w/wastewater technologies social/public perceptions issues economies of size issues New technologies for small scales

14 How the ‘smart’ grid will affect collaboration and energy recovery and conservation smart –water grid

15 Opportunities to create revenue for wastewater utilities co-location of ‘green’ technologies currently available case-studies on sustainable, integrated systems better understanding of anaerobic digesters, biogas and CHP by power industry

16 Re-examine and re-use infrastructure for energy recovery/efficiency retrofitting WW infrastructure (including admin structures)

17 Collaborate on ‘green energy’ funding to invest in new infrastructure for energy recovery and efficiency in the wastewater sector for a win/win integrated benefit (reduced power consumption/increased power production) ----Promote new integrated ‘view’ to legislative bodies

18 Consolidation of existing case studies on sustainable, integrated

19 Green field, integrated, sustainable model communities for developing world (water, energy, solid waste, soil health)
