Energy Systems Integration: An Evolving Energy Paradigm
The Electricity Journal, 2014Co-Authors: Mark Ruth, Benjamin KroposkiAbstract:Energy Systems Integration is intended to combine energy carriers such as electricity, thermal pathways, and fuels, with infrastructures such as communications, water, and transportation, to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. How these energy components, sub-Systems, and Systems are integrated together is a key opportunity to pursue in the quest to optimally utilize newly developed technologies and reach our nation's energy goals.

Electricity, resources, and building Systems Integration at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting, 2009Co-Authors: D. Mooney, Benjamin KroposkiAbstract:As deployment rates for new energy technologies rapidly increase, there is growing emphasis on infrastructure and Systems operations upgrades that will be needed to accommodate the unique operating characteristics of new renewable, efficiency, and end-use technologies. To meet these Integration challenges, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is implementing a comprehensive Systems approach to its R&D and engineering efforts on Integration. As the centerpiece for these efforts, the U.S. Department of Energy has commissioned the design and construction of a state-of-the-art laboratory facility - the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF). The ESIF will be constructed to enable complex Systems research and development that fully integrates the most advanced simulation, data analysis, engineering, and evaluation techniques to enable optimal deployment of advanced energy technologies. This paper will overview the ESIF's role in NREL's approach to addressing large-scale renewable and efficiency technology Integration issues.

The Power of Systems Integration
Oxford Handbooks Online, 2017Co-Authors: Andrew DaviesAbstract:This chapter presents a case study of the construction of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The approach to Systems Integration used to deliver London 2012 addressed the two levels of complexity associated with this megaproject. Prime contractors were appointed to manage each individual system as separate project (such as the Olympic Stadium and Velodrome), and the task of integrating the entire collection of Systems and engaging with multiple stakeholders was performed jointly by the client and its delivery partner. The chapter provides a brief review of the Systems Integration and project management literature, and identifies the layered structure of Systems Integration used to manage London 2012. It also considers what we can learn about the wider role of Systems Integration in megaproject management, and concludes by suggesting some promising avenues for future research.

Advancing Services Innovation
Handbook of Service Science, 2010Co-Authors: Henry William Chesbrough, Andrew DaviesAbstract:As the many chapters in this volume agree, there is growing awareness of the importance of services innovationservice innovation to the prosperity of advanced economies in the 21st century. In this chapter, we explore the challenges that services innovationinnovation poses, as well as the potential value it may create. The conceptual differences between products and services are also outlined. We pay particular attention to five key concepts in Systems Integration: the role of complexity; the role of dynamics; the role of Systems Integration; the role of openness; and the structure of organizations.

Systems Integration: a core capability of the modern corporation
Industrial and Corporate Change, 2005Co-Authors: Michael Hobday, Andrew Davies, Andrea PrencipeAbstract:Many of the world’s leading firms are developing a new model of industrial organization based on Systems Integration. Rather than performing all productive tasks in-house, companies are building the capabilities to design and integrate Systems, while managing networks of component and subsystem suppliers. This article illustrates how Systems Integration evolved from its military, engineering-based, origins in the 1940s and 1950s to a modern-day strategic capability across a wide variety of sectors. Taking a resource-based view of the firm, the article shows how Systems Integration capabilities underpin the way high-technology companies compete by moving selectively up- and downstream in the marketplace through the simultaneous “twin” processes of vertical Integration and disIntegration. Systems integrators of capital goods move downstream into service-intensive offerings to expand revenue streams and increase profitability. By contrast, producers of high-volume components and consumer goods use Systems Integration capabilities to exploit upstream relationships with input suppliers. In both cases, strategic options and capabilities are shaped by the life cycle of each product. The article develops a clearer understanding of Systems Integration, arguing that it now represents a core capability of the modern high-technology corporation.

Energy Systems Integration facilities at the national renewable energy laboratory
2012 IEEE Energytech, 2012Co-Authors: B. Kroposki, D. Mooney, T. Markel, B. LundstromAbstract:The world is highly dependent on an energy infrastructure that produces electricity and fuels; delivering these to customers for a wide variety of end-use applications. There is a renewed push to integrate larger quantities of variable renewable generation, advanced energy storage, and smart communications and controls to allow for increased use of sustainable generation technologies. There is also a push to increase the use of energy efficiency and diversify transportation fuels to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. As the Integration of energy Systems becomes more complex, testing and evaluation of these new technologies to understand their benefits to and impacts on the energy Systems infrastructure will be critical to meeting our nation's energy challenges. This paper highlights the advanced research and development facilities located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that focus on energy Systems Integration designed to help national laboratories, academia, and industry conduct state-of-the-art research on the development and deployment of advanced energy components and Systems.

Distributed energy Systems Integration and demand optimization for autonomous operations and electric grid transactions
Applied Energy, 2016Co-Authors: Girish Ghatikar, Salman Mashayekh, Michael Stadler, Rongxin Yin, Zhenhua LiuAbstract:Distributed power Systems in the U.S. and globally are evolving to provide reliable and clean energy to consumers. In California, existing regulations require significant increases in renewable generation, as well as identification of customer-side Distributed Energy Resources (DER) controls, communication technologies, and standards for interconnection with the electric grid Systems. As DER deployment expands, customer-side DER control and optimization will be critical for system flexibility and demand response (DR) participation, which improves the economic viability of DER Systems. Current DER Systems Integration and communication challenges include leveraging the existing DER and DR technology and Systems infrastructure, and enabling optimized cost, energy and carbon choices for customers to deploy interoperable grid transactions and renewable energy Systems at scale.
