Barriers & Solutions: Hardware Hardware Solution Barrier - Release Practitioner Installation Experience Best Practices Solutions Publicize Installation Best Practices Online resources concerning the relevant federal, state, and local safety and fire codes and standards should be made available to installers and residents. For example, the County of Santa Clara, CA Implementation Partners Manufacturers NYC DOB Industry Associations Municipal Officials PV Trainers Network Smart DG Hub
Barriers & Solutions: Software Software Barrier Interoperability Challenges Solution Finalize and Incorporate Industry Standards Currently, no standardized open protocols exist. Different industry groups are currently working on creating communication standardizations for system components and grid wide connectivity. Disseminating ongoing protocol developments by MESA, SIWG, the SunSpec Alliance, and NREL will aid energy storage s ability to communicate with the grid and between system components Implementation Partners SunSpec Alliance MESA NREL Smart Inverter Working Group (SIWG) Industry Associations Smart DG Hub
Barriers & Solutions: Economics Economics Barrier Valuing Resiliency Solution Quantification of Value There have been ongoing efforts to quantify the value of resilient power through the Smart DG Hub and the New York Prize program for microgrids. The DG Hub will be working to develop a methodology and/or tool that quantifies the loss avoidance mechanism offered by resilient power projects Implementation Partners NY Prize Smart DG Hub City of San Francisco SMP Team FEMA NYSERDA DER Industry Insurance Industry
Barriers & Solutions: Policy Policy Barrier Permitting Processes Solution Streamline Permitting Processes Processes for solar+storage should be investigated that expedite review periods, encourage consistency in permitting requirements across the state, and account for projected increases in permitting throughput Implementation Partners NYC DOB FDNY Smart DG Hub NYSERDA NY-Best NYS AHJs NYC Solar Partnership
