– MATEO JARAMILLO, DIRECTOR, POWERTRAIN

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, TESLA MOTORS, INC.

SII Transportation Solutions in Action Black & Veatch’s Transportation Solution skillset led

Tesla, FirstElement Fuel, and Air Liquide to select

us to launch their extensive, specialized networks.

Alongside Tesla, Black & Veatch has constructed the

largest contiguous EV charging system in the world.

We are the market leader in design, construction,

and integration of complex EV and hydrogen-fuel-

cell charging stations. Black & Veatch also helped

construct Tesla’s first-of-its-kind, custom-built battery

swap station in California, and we are building solar

canopies at select Supercharger sites to capture clean

energy for charging power. Toyota collaborated with Air

Liquide and FirstElement Fuel to establish “hydrogen

highways” in the U.S. Both firms contracted with SII to

select sites, develop, and construct hydrogen-fueling

stations. We are helping FirstElement Fuel to construct

19 hydrogen-fueling stations in California—the single

largest deployment in the nation. Similarly, our work

with Air Liquide covers full engineering, procurement,

and construction (EPC) services for 12 hydrogen-fueling

stations and liquid hydrogen storage hubs in New York

and along the upper east coast.SII and FirstElement Fuel completed their first hydrogen fueling station in Coalinga, California. “What’s behind the walls is more impressive than what’s in front,” said Rick Azer, Director, Smart Integrated Infrastructure. Rick is referring to SII’s clever design, which compressed the typically large footprint of hydrogen equipment and reduced noise emission through a unique equipment enclosure.

Smart City Solutions We Boost Infrastructure IQ

The Smart City movement is at once challenging

and fascinating. A successful Smart City

transformation requires insightful selection of

ideal smart projects and careful integration of

complex systems to avoid a disconnected set

of technology solutions. Innovation districts,

campuses, and other city systems that operate

from an integrated framework boost their

sustainability, resiliency, and citizen satisfaction,

and expand their opportunity for economic

development. A Smart City forms as the physical

infrastructure, communications networks,

and data analytics converge creating a smart

network.

This network provides richer analytics and

actionable insights, which enable a Smart City

to be truly intelligent. This means that city

managers and planners can integrate their

functions and use intelligent applications to

deliver essential services such as energy, water,

communications and transportation with greater

efficiency and reliability.

Black & Veatch is a noted Telecommunication Systems Masterplanner and integrator, which means we design and assemble secure Smart City networks, from the sensor to the cloud.

A city’s transformation may start with a

comprehensive roadmap or a single project.

By enabling a single service or application

in the context of longer-term goals, the city

establishes a common infrastructure that can

support subsequent applications. This common

framework lets a Smart City evolve over time as

budgets, planning priorities, and financial return

on investment (ROI) allow. To help cities and

businesses plan their approach, Black & Veatch

offers Smart City Roadmap Planning and our

Smart City Accelerator application, hosted on

ASSET360™. These solutions merge community

strategy and objectives with available

technologies to identify a set of ideal smart

projects that are aligned with sufficient financial

and benefit analysis.

Black & Veatch is also a leading system

integrator and program manager for Smart

City solutions, overseeing successful

implementation and turning project plans

into a smart reality. We are experts in

multiple, concurrent distributed infrastructure

programs, with first-hand knowledge of the

intricate planning, permitting, site design, and

construction related to Smart City engagements,

as well as integrated system monitoring and

optimization. The journey to Smart City status

can begin and end with Black & Veatch.

Innovation districts, campuses, and other

city systems that operate from an integrated

framework boost their sustainability, resiliency,

and citizen satisfaction, and expand their

opportunity for economic development.

Project Spotlight:

SII Guides Groundbreaking Smart Bayfront Project In CaliforniaThe City of Chula Vista and the Port Authority

of San Diego selected SII to evaluate energy

technologies, energy efficiency options, and

foundational Smart City infrastructure as part

of their groundbreaking Chula Vista Bayfront

project. Situated on 556 acres of land at the

edge of the San Diego Bay, the project will

showcase proactive approaches to sustainable

development and innovative Smart City

applications. The Bayfront project includes a

conference center, resort, hotel, residential units,

retail, mixed use commercial buildings, and

several acres of trails and parks, making it the

largest waterfront development project on the

west coast.

Smart technologies are a cornerstone of the

Bayfront project because they boost efficient

use of City resources and optimize municipal

operations, which support the City and Port’s

ongoing Climate Action Plans. To start,

Black & Veatch is evaluating the Bayfront’s

existing IT and network assets. This evaluation

will help the City identify ideal projects for future

detailed design and execution conducted in

subsequent phases. The energy initiatives will

include renewable, distributed generation, and

efficiency measures best suited for the Bayfront.

Communications will focus on the wireless and

fiber communications and network architectures

to support current and future Smart City

applications. Throughout this process, an

Innovation Council coordinated by Cleantech

San Diego and consisting of Qualcomm, Cisco,

and OSIsoft, will advise Black & Veatch to ensure

hardware and software building blocks converge

to form an integrated, intelligent system.

When complete, this highly collaborative

Bayfront project will demonstrate sustainable

energy use, intelligent communication networks

that measure and control assets, and new

Smart City applications at the Bayfront and

eventually, citywide. Black & Veatch is guiding

smart technology use that will help the City and

Port increase sustainability and resilience, while

promoting additional economic development

opportunities.

“Black & Veatch is a global leader in engineering design and construction,” said City Manager Gary Halbert. “The firm’s strong reputation and proven experience will help the City of Chula Vista and the Port advance sustainable development with smart building systems and infrastructure.”

Draft conceptual rendering

Small Footprints, Big Smart City Impact

Smart City Solutions In Action: Smart Street Furniture: SII is giving familiar street-

side assets—such as kiosks, bus shelters, and garbage

stations—a new purpose by connecting them to

public carrier or city networks to produce on-the-go

accessibility to Wi-Fi, mobile charging, and real-time city

information. Black & Veatch is providing construction

management services to a major U.S. city as they deploy

thousands of Wi-Fi kiosks, and we are involved with the

Smart + Connected Communities initiative, which will

deploy numerous kiosks along Kansas City streets.

Smart Street Lighting: SII is shining a light on the

benefits of smart streetlights. Working with our

technology partner, Petra Systems, we help cities

reduce their streetlight energy bills, slash O&M

costs, and decrease unwanted light pollution. Smart

streetlights are also a valuable distributed infrastructure

platform to support other Smart City technologies such

as renewable energy and 4G/Wi-Fi communications

networks. In Santa Ana, California, Black & Veatch

installed high-efficiency solar panels as part of a pilot

project to demonstrate the generation of clean energy

to reduce its lighting bill. The pilot incorporates Petra

Systems Smart Lighting technology, which also conveys

luminaire health status and monitors the energy and

performance of each street light. This pilot project will

demonstrate the value of Smart Street Lighting, which

could lead to installation on a grander scale throughout

the city.

EV And Hydrogen Charge Posts: SII is leading the

charge to construct the nation’s Electric and Hydrogen

Highways. Working alongside several industry

frontrunners, SII is installing charging stations that offer

more than just relief from range-anxiety. While charge

station features are still evolving, some manufacturers

offer Wi-Fi and interactive kiosks that increase citizen

engagement, while others feature solar arrays that cut

energy use. Perhaps the biggest public benefit is free

charging offered at some stations, the cost of which is

offset by sponsors at the kiosks.

Our Partnerships Ensure World-Class Innovation

As we build the infrastructure that supports Smart City growth, we also form partnerships

and develop research and case study caches to accelerate and promote sustainable cities

worldwide. We are proud to be a Smart Cities Council partner, to serve on the Board of Advisors

for Cleantech San Diego, and to engage with the 100 Resilient Cities initiative. Given the rapid

pace of technology advancement, we know that collaboration with other industry leaders is

vital to ensure our clients obtain best-fit technologies. We have valuable relationships with

Cisco, Qualcomm, and OSIsoft—among other ecosystem partners—to ensure we maintain a

cutting-edge position in the Smart City transformation.

Project Spotlight:

SII Smart Analytics Drives Smart City Initiative In San Diego Black & Veatch supports cities as they strive to improve business

efficiencies, adopt sustainable practices and support their Climate Action

Plans. The Port Authority of San Diego conducted a Smart City initiative

demonstration pilot project, which assembled top technology partners

including OSIsoft, Intel, Dell and Black & Veatch, to advance the region’s

Smart City goals. As part of this project, smart sensors installed in selected

Port buildings collect real-time data on energy consumption. ASSET360™

translates this data, and identifies and displays the Port’s energy use

patterns on a customized dashboard, which allows Port facilities staff to

spot operational anomalies. Staff can then adjust equipment settings

based on ASSET360™ information, thereby increasing energy efficiency

and reducing operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

“Achieving a smart building collaboration of this scale has been a vision of Cleantech San Diego and our members for a long time. To have technology giants such as Intel Corporation, Dell, OSIsoft, and Black & Veatch pairing their powerful data solutions with our progressive utility, SDG&E, and deploying it at such a high-profile location as the Port of San Diego is proof that our region has what it takes to continue our leadership on a global level when it comes to smart

city initiatives.”

– JASON ANDERSON, CLEANTECH SAN DIEGO PRESIDENT

Distributed Grid Solutions We Gird the Grid

Society is plugged-in, powered-up, wired and

charged. Electric grids are on shifting ground

caused by a perfect storm of conditions: growing

population; aging assets too often built for

vastly different purposes; extreme weather;

expanded EV charging; unpredictable renewable

energy; and lack of insight into the distribution

system. To respond to growing concerns around

grid reliability, SII infuses advanced analytics

into grid operations through Distributed Grid

Solutions. Our solutions span all electric

system planning and operation considerations,

including engineering performance analysis,

asset monitoring and diagnostics, and outage

management—the principal concern of

utilities. Outages, caused primarily by weather

and wildlife, can cause a utility’s regulated

reliability metric and customer satisfaction to

drop. While we cannot tame the environment,

we can put data to work. Using ASSET360™,

SII combs historical outage data to assess the

cause, location and impact of previous outages;

understand the current risk of outage; and define

a cost-effective, optimized plan toward system

hardening. ASSET360™ affords utilities the

ability to review their outage data to pinpoint

reliability hiccups at each customer. This scaled

vision means that SII can evaluate, isolate, and

optimize all aspects of the distribution system

for amplified efficiency, resiliency, and reliability.

We can optimize a specific circuit or target, or an entire distribution system, end-to-end. Clients often start by evaluating a small area of their system, opting for full-system analysis, rollout and optimization to achieve full value when budgets allow.

We Advance the Story of Energy Storage

Many companies relay the same energy story:

pricey demand charges are straining budgets.

SII rewrites their energy use tale to include

energy storage, which flattens the spikes in

energy demand by charging, storing, and

discharging energy from an energy storage

system when demand begins to trend upward.

We use ASSET360™ analytics to help determine

the optimal type, size, and location of energy

storage assets within the larger system context.

As a market leader in the engineering and

installation of energy storage systems, SII

leads all phases of implementation—from

site selection and preparation to permitting,

installation design, and connection. These

systems capture cheaper off-peak power from

the conventional power grid and store it for

use during peak hours when per-kilowatt rates

are higher, delivering flexibility in a fluctuating

energy market and slashing demand charges.

Battery Storage Cabinets Black & Veatch’s SII team is a market leader in engineering and installation

of energy storage systems. Our vendor-neutral approach means our clients receive best-fit technology.

We Outdo Outages with Microgrid Systems

As power outages continue to rise, communities are turning to microgrids

to fortify their power distribution systems. Microgrids work in conjunction

with and separate from the main electrical grid—island mode operation

provides reliable, stand-alone power when the main grid goes dark. This

resiliency ensures that critical facilities, such as hospitals and police

stations, remain functional during a power outage. As wind and solar

energy continue to gain traction in the energy market, SII leverages Black

& Veatch’s extensive power generation and renewable energy expertise

to integrate the array of energy sources seamlessly into microgrid and

nanogrid systems that provide our clients with clean energy options. We

are well versed in microgrid design and integration and can lead all phases

of microgrid development, from site assessment and project planning to

design, construction, performance testing, and operational optimization.

Project Spotlight:

SII Transforms The Energy Sector Alongside Tesla, Advanced Microgrid Solutions, And Coda EnergyAdvanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) contracted with SII to install up

to 30 battery storage cabinets on behalf of Southern California Edison

(SCE) within a Class A office complex in Orange County, California. These

cabinets would enable SCE to disconnect the buildings from the grid when

energy demand spiked. Commercial property owners wanted to ensure

that multiple, large energy storage cabinets would not detract from the

aesthetic appeal of their properties. While the owners considered the

installation to be a valuable component of their energy efficiency scheme,

their worries about siting the equipment could have derailed the project.

SII created photo-simulations of the installed cabinets and proposed

landscaping to provide an after-project picture to ease the owners’

concerns. Installation is moving forward with SII and AMS working together

on site acquisition, permitting, design, and installation.

Alongside Coda Energy, SII is providing design, engineering, and

construction services for large-scale commercial, industrial and city

facilities using Tesla Energy Storage products. Black & Veatch’s SII team

has designed behind-the-meter stationary capacity at more than 20

facilities in support of Tesla’s energy storage initiative. Energy storage

services expand the range of services Black & Veatch provides to Tesla.

“Tesla energy storage can improve and balance grid operations by providing energy to manage changes in demand. It also allows for higher levels of renewable energy integration. Black & Veatch is proud to be key supplier of engineering and construction services for Tesla as they work to transform the energy sector.”

– MARTIN TRAVERS, PRESIDENT OF BLACK & VEATCH’S

TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUSINESS

Photo Simulation SII goes the extra mile for clients. Worries over

aesthetics could have derailed the AMS project, but SII generated

photo-simulations to show the merit of visual screens. Our efforts

mitigated concerns and kept the project running smoothly.

Alongside Coda Energy, SII is providing design, engineering, and

construction services for large-scale commercial, industrial, and city

facilities using Tesla Energy Storage products.

Project Spotlight:

Black & Veatch Constructs Microgrid Living Laboratory To Understand System Integration and Economics With a focus on energy sustainability, Black

& Veatch constructed their own microgrid

system in the Innovation Pavilion at our World

Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. Black &

Veatch’s microgrid features three rooftop solar

photovoltaic (PV) panel groups that provide 50

kilowatts (kW) of electricity. The system also

includes two natural gas-fired microturbines

that provide 130 kW of onsite power generation,

a 100 kW lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage

System (BESS) and a geothermal field with 15

wells 500 feet deep. Commissioned in 2015,

Black & Veatch’s microgrid is a living laboratory

of integrated technologies, which allows Black

& Veatch to observe the performance of these

energy resources. For example, Black & Veatch

can evaluate how each type of solar panel

performs in varied conditions, which provides

our engineers and interested clients with real

operational data, not just theory. Owning the

microgrid means that Black & Veatch can closely

study the entire life-cycle of the project and

better understand the system economics, which

provides important insight for our clients.

As added benefits, the microgrid provides

enough clean energy to run the entire Innovation

Pavilion, reducing energy costs. In the winter, the

system recovers heat from the microturbines

for supplemental heating in the main building.

The geothermal system cools and heats the

Innovation Pavilion as needed. When cloud cover

reduces solar energy production, the power

held in the BESS provides consistent electrical

output to the Innovation Pavilion. Black & Veatch

continually monitors the microgrid through SII’s

ASSET360™, which collects data and monitors

the performance of each component and the

integrated system. ASSET360™ calculates

generated energy, energy use, and can give

insights into energy saving measures.

“OUR MICROGRID SHOWCASES THE COMPANY’S CAPABILITIES FOR OUR CLIENTS AND THE PUBLIC. IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF OUR COMMITMENT AND EXPERTISE IN PROVIDING WORLD-CLASS SOLUTIONS FOR GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY AND DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION MARKETS.”

– DAVE KERNS, BLACK & VEATCH EXECUTIVE VICE

PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ENERGY

Black & Veatch constructed their own microgrid system in the Innovation Pavilion at our World

Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. The microgrid provides enough clean energy to run the

entire Innovation Pavilion, reducing energy costs.

Water Performance SolutionsWe Leverage Data to Optimize Water System Performance

Water scarcity, aging U.S. water infrastructure, and steep energy costs

are driving the water industry to examine smart water systems. Smart

water systems deliver scalable distribution that adapts to changes in

water demand, policy and regulations, technology improvements, and

environmental and economic trends. SII instills system intelligence by

connecting infrastructure assets through a network of smart meters,

sensors, edge computing, hardware, and software that provides

data visualization, real-time analytics, and M&D interfaces through

ASSET360™. We help water utilities, cities, and industrial clients

understand actual and projected water use, flow accuracy, and water

quality across their systems—from residential and commercial buildings

to pumps, water treatment plants, and combined sewer overflow systems.

SII brings data into the present moment as a situational decision-

making tool. During a storm, for example, a utility can access data on

wastewater levels and flows, decide which flows to treat or divert, and

quickly understand the outcome of the actions. Similarly, insight on water

meters and consumption allows utilities to identify and fix water losses,

reduce energy costs, and keenly manage resources to optimize ROI and

prolong equipment life. Our Water Performance Solutions puts the right

information in the hands of the right people at the right time.

SII Water Performance Solutions In Action: A water utility client with a daily average demand of over 17 MG uses our Water Loss

Application to visualize their system and gain a more accurate analysis of metered

data. ASSET360™ automatically analyzes and updates water losses in selected areas

within the distribution system. Targeted leakage detection reduces water losses in

the focus areas. A unique degradation calculation is included in ASSET360™ to allow

more accurate representation of the failure characteristics. This calculation is important

because it helps the utility decide when and whether to repair or replace its meters.
