3. ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC A 65-year relationship with DOEand its predecessors Develops and deploys technology worldwide Manages or co-manages 6 DOE national laboratories: ORNL (with UT), Brookhaven(with SUNY-Stony Brook), Idaho, Lawrence Livermore (with UC and Bechtel), NREL (with MRI), Pacific Northwest Limited LiabilityCompany A 50-50 partnership The University of Tennessee Battelle • An ORNL partner since 1946 • State-funded Science Alliance startedin 1982, to build programs with ORNL • Shared research in many areas • Joint appointments • Joint institutes in advanced materials, biological sciences, computational sciences, neutron sciences, nuclear physics

4. Delivering science and technology:ORNL leads major R&D programs for DOE and other customers Ultrascale computing Energy technologies Bioenergy ITER Neutron sciences Climate Materialsat the nanoscale National security Nuclear energy

5. A Majority of Energy is Consumed in Transportation and Electricity Sectors ~45% of energy consumed in form of Electricity Transportation consumes 29% Industrial consumes 22% (non-electricity) Industrial consumes 22% (non-electricity)

Energy Efficiency Improvements for Buildings CRADA partner GE on track to be first Hybrid Electric Water Heater that meets new 2009 DOE ENERGY STAR standards (by end of CY2009) Awards Night Winner – Tech Transfer 50% less energy than conventional Hybrid Electric Water Heater from ORNL-GE CRADA to Be Manufactured in Louisville, KY R&D 100 Award for first-ever fire-resistive phase change insulation material (PCM) First organic PCM that can be applied in U.S. buildings without increasing flammability Thermal Storage Insulation→Reduce/Shift Load

13. ZEBRAlliance DOE and TVA sponsor ORNL’s R&D Research: find affordable solutions Education: foster demand (www.zebralliance.com) First project Schaad builds 4 houses & leases them to ORNL for 30 months at $1 per month for R&D Many “firsts” Full-sized houses with ZEHcore walls, foundation heat exchangers House with an insulating system that stores solar energy, shaving peak cooling loads by day and passively heating by night Houses with ground-source integrated heat pumps, a single unit in lieu of separate heating and cooling, water heater and dehumidifier Documentary of construction for “builder’s boot camp” Kick-starts DOE’s ‘Builders Challenge’ in the region

14. Reducing the Petroleum Consumption of Vehicles Effects of Intermediate Ethanol Blends on Legacy Vehicles and Small Engines  These data and the report are being heavily cited in industry-EPA deliberations of new fuel regulations Could change all of US gasoline ethanol content in order to meet national renewable fuel goals Cash for Clunkers CTA’s Clean Cities fuel economy team developed the software and data system for the EPA/NHTSA Car Allowance Rebate System (Cash for Clunkers) Consumer information, Dealer validation requirements, Handle the intensive traffic expected, and to ensure security from cyber attacks

15. TVA, ORNL Part of Core Team for Nissan Leaf EV “Roll-out” in Tennessee Nissan, eTec, and selected “team members” plan to initially deploy 4,500 electric vehicles in five strategic markets (December 2010) Arizona, California, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington State. Major population areas include: Nashville , Knoxville and Chattanooga (TN) Approximately 2,250 charging stations in Tennessee Photos from: www.nissanusa.com

16. Higher Power, Lower Cost Electric Components for Hybrid & Fuel-Cell Vehicles Current Source Inverter for HEVs and FCVs High-Temperature, High-Voltage Fully Integrated Gate Driver Circuit • Objectives • •Develop a 55 kW current source inverter (CSI) prototype to: • Integrate boost converter and inverter functionality • Perform regeneration functions • Improve fault tolerance • Substantially reduce capacitor requirements • Objectives • Develop a “universal” silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based high-temperature, high-voltage gate driver • Function from -40°C to 200°C ambient without heat sinks or cooling mechanisms (major cost savings) 55 kW CSI Prototype • Status • A prototype of a 55 kW CSI was successfully built and tested • Total capacitance required was reduced by about 90% to 195 µF • A voltage boost ratio of up to 3.47 was achieved • Design of a 55 kW CSI for operating with a 105°C coolant has been completed. Status A highly integrated SOI chip has been designed, fabricated, and packaged for testing at ambient temperatures of 200ºC.
