Directs the New York state energy and research development authority to establish a pilot program to install a microgrid in Glenwood Houses; requires the authority to annually report on the results of such program and any recommendations for expansion.
NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A9037
SPONSOR: Williams TITLE OF BILL:
An act in relation to directing the New York state energy research and
development authority to establish a pilot program to install a micro-
grid in Glenwood Houses
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
AN ACT in relation to directing the New York state energy and research
developMent authority to establish a pilot program to install a micro-
grid in Glenwood Houses
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: No later than one hundred eighty days after the effective
date of this act, the New York state energy and research development
authority shall establish, within amounts appropriated therefor, a pilot
program to install a microgrid in Glenwood Houses in Kings County. 5
Such a microgrid shall be used for local energy production and distrib-
ution which can function independently if disconnected from the main
electricity grid or a supplement for peaks in demand. The microgrid
shall be powered by renewable energy sources including but not limited
to solar panels, hydrogen or wind, and energy efficient generators which
shall be combined with energy storage units such as batteries with low
environmental• impacts.
Section 2: The authority shall provide an annual report on or before the
first day of January to the governor, the temporary president of the
senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the senate
and the minority leader of the assembly, on the pilot program and any
recommendations for expansion of such pilot program.
JUSTIFICATION:
The creation of a Micro-Grid system at the Glenwood housing would give a
larger data'study on the effectiveness of this system inside of a public
housing structure the feasibility of a financial build out into future
housing complexes/similar structures going forward and the ability to
aid in lowering utility cost and easing the stress on the providing
electrical provider during peak times meeting the requirements to
improve and implement energy distribution and storage.
* Energy Value (LBMP)
* Capacity Value (ICAP)
* Utility Value (E)
* Demand Reduction Value (DRV)
With the constant rise in Utility cost, output spikes in in energy
demands during regular and peak periods the micro-grid would be used as
a crucial tool to assist in one easing the energy out put for each ener-
gy provider while also moving away from higher emission during outage,
or low supply times.
The micro-grid creation will also allow for the energy source to be a
more efficient option while also giving each area the opportunity to
find the most functional and financially feasible renewable energy would
be best to use and prioritize to sustain said housing. The Glenwood
Housing is the perfect structure to start this pilot program and will
then give way to the ability to apply real world data and development
into the mapping/study/research that would ideally lead to installation
structures like it. Click here to enter text.

AN ACT in relation to directing the New York state energy research and
development authority to establish a pilot program to install a micro-
grid in Glenwood Houses
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. 1. No later than one hundred eighty days after the effec-
2 tive date of this act, the New York state energy research and develop-
3 ment authority shall establish, within amounts appropriated therefor, a
4 pilot program to install a microgrid in Glenwood Houses in Kings county.
5 Such microgrid shall be used for local energy production and distrib-
6 ution which can function independently if disconnected from the main
7 electricity grid or a supplement for peaks in demand. The microgrid
8 shall be powered by renewable energy sources including but not limited
9 to solar panels, hydrogen or wind, and energy efficient generators which
10 shall be combined with energy storage units such as batteries with low
11 environmental impacts.
12 2. The authority shall provide an annual report on or before the first
13 day of January to the governor, the temporary president of the senate
14 and the speaker of the assembly, on the pilot program and any recommen-
15 dations for expansion of such pilot program.
16 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
17 have become a law.
