We all go through seasons in life.  Sometimes things are great and you're constantly winning. Your confidence is sky high. You feel unstoppable. You're on top of the world. And other times things aren't so great. That's life. Everyone has their dark times and their struggles. And sometimes you may not even know what they're dealing with.  Such was the case for me over the last couple years.  I went into a very dark place after losing my best friend. A place I'd never been before. A place I couldn't get out of.  And it impacted everything in my life, from my income, to my marriage, to my friendships… Before I knew it, my confidence was gone, and I didn't even know who I was anymore.  This is that story, told for the first time.  My hope is that if you're suffering with anything, this episode may be of some help and reassure you that you're not alone. We all fall. And we all must rise again.  Sponsors Onnit: Alpha Brain is the ultimate way to get in the zone.

What an illuminating episode yall. Dr Winters was introduced to me by our brother Aubrey Marcus. I get into all of the specifics that have changed in my health and wellness just since starting with his practice. Dr Winters has taken a similar path as Dr Nathan Riley OBGYN in that he jumped through all the hoops laid out by the 20th century model of healthcare, then got tired of there not being a “cause” to all the “effects” he was seeing in his practices. People's teeth don't just decide to go wonky and their jaws don't just skew for no reason. He, with the training of other Dental Maestros, is on the path of truly helping people deal with all kinds of structural and TMJ issues. He has improved my quality of life and I hope your eyes are opened as well. Love yall!   ORGANIFI GIVEAWAY Keep those reviews coming in!

Humans are wired to want more. More time, more resources, more money. But what if we could do more with what we already have? When we innovate for resilience, we often think big — bypassing solutions in our own homes. Today, we're looking at the design of objects (like electric cars and heat pumps) and discovering their purpose can go far beyond the original intent. As we move to more sustainable forms of power, energy storage is becoming increasingly important. Here, we explore novel ways we can address energy intermittency in the future and also look back in history for lessons in making those kinds of changes.  Featured in this episode:François Lefèvre is a senior manager of market intelligence and corporate planning at Nissan Canada.

Energy storage means more than just batteries. There are many different technologies that could offset peak electricity consumption periods, ultimately preventing the need for expensive, emissions-heavy infrastructure that could lead us away from our clean-energy goals. Justin Rangooni, Executive Director of Energy Storage Canada, joins thinkenergy to explain how energy storage can help meet demand spikes, the importance of supporting wide-scale deployment of renewable energy sources, and much more.    Related links https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-rangooni-5063b542/ https://www.energystoragecanada.org/   --- To subscribe using Apple Podcasts To subscribe using Spotify To subscribe on Libsyn --- Subscribe so you don't miss a video: YouTube Check out our cool pics on Instagram More to Learn on Facebook Keep up with the Tweets Transcript: Dan Seguin  00:06 This is thinkenergy, the podcast that helps you better understand the fast changing world of energy through conversations with game changers, industry leaders, and influencers. So join me, Dan Seguin, and my co host, Rebecca Schwartz, as we explore both traditional and unconventional facets of the energy industry. Hey, everyone, welcome back. Today we're going to talk all things energy storage in Canada. We're welcoming back a guest we had on the show in 2020. To see what are some of the recent developments and insights in the energy storage industry that have occurred since our last discussion.   Rebecca Schwartz  00:51 Well, when I think of energy storage, I immediately think of batteries, you know, like Duracell, the Energizer Bunny, or even the battery pack in our cell phones- and mine that dies way too often. Honestly, it's pretty cool how we can just carry around these little capsules of energy anywhere we need or want.   Dan Seguin  01:09 It's actually a good comparison. But instead of charging your smartphone or powering your flashlight, energy storage is being leveraged on a whole other scale that could hold the key to many of our environmental and energy goals. According to urban insight, energy storage has been identified as the key to climate change mitigation. But globally, only 3 to 4% of electricity generated by utilities is being stored. They estimate that to limit global warming to below two celsius, energy storage capacity needs to triple overall by 2050.   Rebecca Schwartz  01:55 Recently, an article was published by Energy Storage Canada about our country's evolving electricity grid, and how energy storage and distributed energy resources are putting increasing expectations on our electricity grid to be more adaptable.   Dan Seguin  02:11 Power grids, by their very nature are designed for the fluctuation in electricy demand throughout the day by increasing and decreasing supply when necessary. Energy storage could offset peak electricity consumption periods like in the afternoon, and in early evening when people are returning from work or school. Not to mention our hot and humid summer days when everyone is running their air conditioning units.   Rebecca Schwartz  02:42 Storing energy and integrating it when it's needed into the system would prevent more expensive and potentially emission heavy infrastructure from being built.   Dan Seguin  02:52 So here's today's big question- what are ways countries like Canada can speed up its storage capacity to suit its demand? And are we on track to make it happen in time?   Rebecca Schwartz  03:09 Energy Storage Canada is the national voice for the energy storage industry. They are the only association that's dedicated to advancing energy storage in the country. Justin Rangooni, the Executive Director at Energy Storage Canada is here to talk about how Canada is and isn't charging up the energy storage revolution.   Dan Seguin  03:30 Nice to have you back, Justin. Let's dive in because I'm anxious to chat with you about what has changed within the energy storage industry here in Canada since we last spoke in back in November 2020. So let's kick this off with this question. What's been the most significant change in your industry since we last spoke in 2020?   Justin Rangooni  03:55 Thanks for the question. Great to be back in two years felt like not even that long ago. So it's really good. Good. Good. Good to chat again. So a lot has happened since we last chatted. So I think when we last spoke, it was all about talking about how at Energy Storage Canada we are trying to talk with decision makers in Ontario and the rest of Canada, about the benefits energy storage provide the system. Reliability, affordability, what have you and all the various services that energy storage can provide. So it's a matter of, of really educating decision makers. So flash fast forward, fast forward two years to today. It's more now, what's really changed is that the decision makers have now recognized that and now as they're doing their system planning and will focus in on Ontario specifically, is as they're talking about system planning and what is going to meet capacity needs and what's going to be used for any decarbonisation efforts. Energy storage is part of that conversation. It's part of that calculus. And this is exactly what we wanted to see and that's what- that's what's really changed. It's now part of that calculus in terms of what's going to happen next.   Rebecca Schwartz  05:03 How important is energy storage and supporting wide scale deployment of renewable energy resources so that Canada can meet its net-zero goals?   Justin Rangooni  05:11 I think the best response would be I found a new analogy. And it was from the New Yorker in a recent article that talked about the old energy storage provider in terms of optimizing the grids, the assets that are already on the grid. So what they talked about is when in situations when the wind is blowing, the sun is shining, the hydro, the water is flowing, the nuclear plants are humming, energy storage allows electricity grid to inhale. And then when the sun's not blowing, or the winds, that winds not blowing, or the sun's not shining, or the water is not flowing, or the nuclear plants aren't humming, what energy storage allows the grid is to exhale, and deliver that electricity to homes and businesses and to charge devices. And so that's what energy storage can do is to optimize.   Rebecca Schwartz  05:56 All right now, is there concern though, that energy storage will affect the grid? Like cause instability or create potential imbalances of supply? And is this maybe where energy storage and renewable energy intersect?   Justin Rangooni  06:09 Well, I think what energy storage does is solved some of those problems. What it does is, if it's part of the solution, the overall solution in terms of balancing the grid and optimizing what you have, energy storage can do that. Because one of the benefits of energy storage is that it's portable. It can be it can be situated anywhere in the province or in the country, and of every size and of all the various technologies available, there's lots to choose from. And as system planners can use that as a Swiss Army knife to make, make it work where it has to so we can balance the grid and optimize the assets and provide reliability. So energy storage is is that solution provider for the energy system.   Dan Seguin  06:47 Okay. In your opinion, Justin, what's impeding the wider adoption of energy storage across Canada's provinces and territories?   Justin Rangooni  06:57 So I think one of them, would it be just an- I think we talked about this two, almost two years ago. It's just a matter of for some systems, operators and governments in certain jurisdictions now, in terms of changing their mindset into away from traditional generation, traditional poles and wires, to see what energy storage and other DER types or non wire solutions can provide to the system. Credit to Ontario and Alberta. And we're seeing this a bit in Nova Scotia. And obviously, in Quebec, they're understanding the role now that energy storage and other non wires alternatives can provide. So they're developing roadmaps, they're reducing regulatory barriers, and they're creating the market mechanisms to really enable energy storage, I think other provinces across the country who are a little bit behind will start to follow suit, as well.   Dan Seguin  07:47 Okay, another question here. I think it's safe to say that the economics of storage is improving, and in some cases, has reached cost parity with conventional technology alternatives. Are the high upfront costs a factor that's discouraging more investors? Or is there something else?   Justin Rangooni  08:08 I wouldn't say it's- I think what's discouraging investors necessarily with would just be the certainty of where that, where the market mechanisms are going to be for energy storage. So in the US, you have, I think, almost a dozen states, who have a energy storage procurement or energy storage targets. So that's sending a signal to the to the sector and investors that we're looking for energy storage, we're looking for non wire alternatives to put on the grid. So what that's I think that's the biggest thing that others are looking for in Canada is, where's that certainty? Where's that? Where's the path forward for energy storage in the country? So I think in Ontario, we're starting to see that with their capacity needs that are coming up, people are looking at it and saying, okay, energy storage can definitely fill that role. So they're seeing the interest in that. So you're seeing a lot more interest in Ontario for the role of energy storage.   Rebecca Schwartz  09:03 All right, Justin, if you had to break it down super quick for someone, what would be your elevator pitch for why we should integrate energy storage into a broader system framework? So if you had one minute to convince them that energy storage is the missing link to accelerating our path, to net-zero, what would you say?   Justin Rangooni  09:20 So I won't do the analogy again. But if it was the first time of the elevator, that first I would use the inhaling/exhaling analogy. But what I would say quickly is simply that energy storage is a solution provider. It provides different solutions depending on what the need is. If you need it for reliability reasons to make sure that the lights are going to be on energy storage can play that role by saving that energy when it's needed. Storing the energy when it's when it's when it's needed, and then issuing it and then also for affordability reasons to defer investments and new generation or new poles and wires. There's a lot of different reasons for energy storage, but again, I think that analogy is the best one I've seen so far.   Dan Seguin  10:04 Some might not like me for this next one. But here goes Justin, how can energy storage help meet demand spikes, and also reduce or even eliminate the need to maintain or build new gas plants, which are among the dirtiest generators on the grid here in Ontario.   Justin Rangooni  10:27 So where energy storage can play that critical role is storing electricity when it's generated at times when maybe you don't need it. So instead of curtailing or spilling water, or unnecessary or maybe importing it, or exporting it at a loss for that excess surplus generation, energy storage can step store that electricity. So when there's peaks in demand, and energy storage can, you know use that the system planners can use the electricity that is stored during those peak demands, and to really start leveling out that need for the new peaker plants or existing peaker plants for that matter. So it's really storing the energy for a future use. And that's, that's why we're so excited about energy storage.   Dan Seguin  11:12 Now, in an article you wrote in 2021, you reference that the Independent Electricity System Operator was undertaking a study on the potential phase out of Canada's gas generation. You noted that energy storage Canada was keen to participate in the study. Has there been any movement? What are you hoping to achieve?   Justin Rangooni  11:39 So what happens is we last talked is the IESO did kind of, I would call it a preliminary report, on their decarbonisation efforts or the phase out of natural gas. And a lot of stakeholders took issue with it because of the some of the assumptions that were made. And even the Minister of Energy, looked at it and said, you know what, go back and develop the path. So we are eager to see what that path will be now coming out in November, I think the report is due from the IESO. And what we would like to see is a various, a long range of assumptions and scenarios that really get us to that proper path that is cost effective and reliable. The first path kind of just used one scenario. But I think there are very much very different paths to achiev net-Zero in Ontario and in Canada, and what energy storage can provide because there's different technologies because it could be short duration, or long duration, could be pumped storage or flywheels, or batteries, or what have you. And it can be in different locations, throughout the province or throughout the country. There are many different pathways to get there. So that's what we would really like to see in that report. Show us all the different scenarios; show us the cost effectiveness so you have a wide menu, a variety of a menu to choose from. And we think it can be done. In fact, energy storage, Canada will be issuing a report, working on a report right now, that will be done later this year, with regards to how much energy storage will be required in Canada to achieve net-zero by 2035, that the federal government targeted. Because we're hearing a lot of other numbers of saying how we're gonna get there. So we're trying to say as well how much energy storage is going to be required to make that happened. So we look forward to sharing that report with you in the next few months.   Rebecca Schwartz  13:22 All right, Justin, are you seeing policy or regulatory movement at the municipal, provincial or federal level, to help facilitate energy storage into future plans? And could you talk a bit to what's encouraging you and maybe touch a little on what's discouraging you?   Justin Rangooni  13:38 So I would say encouraging is the example set out in Ontario and Alberta. They they took a concerted effort credit to the Alberta System Operating and credit to the Ontario's IESO for developing a roadmap to say, okay, we know energy storage is coming. So what do we have to do to get our house in order with market rules with regulatory rules with system tool upgrades? So they've really set out a nice path? Obviously, maybe discouraging, we would say and Ontario is okay, you're not, maybe you can get a little faster in terms of really that opportunity of value stacking all the all the values that energy storage can provide, we probably want to see that timeline accelerated a little bit, but at least it's out there. We and we hope that this could serve as a good signpost for other provinces to follow. And we're seeing that hopefully in Nova Scotia, and hopefully maybe we'll see that in Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, what have you trying to say? What is that roadmap to really enabling energy storage because we know it's coming.   Dan Seguin  13:38 Now, let's tackle a catchy subject. Cost. How does energy storage protect provinces, cities, utilities and customers against rising demand and energy costs?   Justin Rangooni  14:50 So I would probably hark back to our report that we did in the summer of 2020 by Power Advisory for Ontario. We looked at and said well, how if there were at least 1000 megawatts of energy storage on the grid, what would be the impact for ratepayers. And what the power advisory report concluded was with with at least 1000 megawatts of energy storage on the grid, it would save ratepayers approximately $2 billion over the over the next decade. And what they looked at was ways that it was saving ratepayers money. It was deferring invest poles, a traditional poles and wires investments, maybe they don't have to be made right now you can defer some of those. Avoidance or deferral of new power generation, which is costly. So it's, it's those mainly two and again, it's also price, perhaps arbitrage, too where we're seeing, with some larger commercial industrial customers, who have behind the meter storage installed, and are avoiding the high demand times by using the energy storage and it's stored behind the meter to save, save on cost as well. So that's where we're looking at the really the what, what energy storage can provide in terms of affordability issues. And as you mentioned before, the costs of energy storage are going down. And we're talking about batteries, we're seeing a continued decline, and forecasts are showing a decline continuing for the rest of the decade. But again, as with other technologies of energy storage technology, it's all a matter of when do you want to- where do you want to use it and what benefit it's providing?   Dan Seguin  16:19 Justin, is it fair to say that most renewable energy, like wind and solar, may require daily energy storage to maximize their benefits and secure against seasonal shortfalls in Canada, when the wind doesn't blow as much like in the summer, and the sun doesn't shine as much like in the winter?   Justin Rangooni  16:41 So yes, I think energy storage could definitely optimize that variable, renewable generation. And depending on what the technology you're looking at, it could even be done, you know, hourly too if you have a certain batteries are co-located, or are very close to those the wind and solar assets as well. And again, energy storage also provides that benefit to all forms of generation, it's a matter of storing what's on the grid and the system operators using the tool that energy storage provides to say, well, we don't need all this power that all our generation assets are producing. So we're going to utilize this battery, these energy storage resources, we have to store that excess energy, and then to release it when it's required. So again, if why we're so excited energy storage, because we're just talking about batteries, there's batteries, there's pump storage, there's flywheels, or compressed air, there's thermal storage, there's a lot of possibilities. And they all can play a critical role in optimizing wind and solar assets, and hydro and nuclear assets as well.   Dan Seguin  17:42 Now I have a follow up question for you, Justin. What's your prediction based on the current trajectory on how much of all energy use in Canada's 2050 future could be stored at any given time? And why is that important?   Justin Rangooni  18:00 So it's probably hard to forecast that number. Now, our report will put a number on what is the minimum to achieve net-zero by 2035. So we will have a number, a national number and broken down by the provinces as well, to see what that number is. But really, it all depends on what the system planner is using the energy storage for. Now, you could have big giant, big energy storage projects, that could be in the almost 1000 megawatts, all the way down to smaller energy storage projects with or in the single digit megawatts or less. So it really depends on what the system planner wants to utilize those energy storage projects for. So it's really tough to tell, I think an example would be right now in California, they have about 3000 megawatts of grid scale connected storage, their peak demand is almost 30,000. So 10% in California, right now, is energy storage, meeting that peak demand. And that's only growing. So again, I think it all depends on what the system planner is looking and the jurisdiction and a lot of factors. But as we're seeing in California, energy storage is playing an increasing critical role to meeting energy needs.   Rebecca Schwartz  19:07 Okay, so we've talked a lot about the many applications for energy storage beyond just cost reduction. And I'll go ahead to name a few just now. So we've talked about battery storage, increasing capacity, improving reliability, supporting renewable integration and deferring transmission upgrades. So because of its versatility, and its ability, battery storage, some might say it could be the true Swiss Army knife of grid solutions. What would you tell our audience is the best feature of battery storage? Or maybe what's most impressive secret feature that others aren't aware of?   Justin Rangooni  19:44 That's a great question. So I'm gonna do my little public service announcement. And I do this for a lot of decision makers to and others. Well, we alked about energy storage, we should talk about more than just batteries. I know it's easy just to say battery storage and a lot. A lot of a lot of people do that and it's understandable. But again, there's a lot A lot of different energy storage technologies, Energy Storage Canada, we're technology agnostic. So we represent batteries and all the different chemistries of battery, not just lithium there's zinc and there's other chemistries. We also talk about pumped storage and flywheels, thermal storage, mechanical storage, what name you there's, there's a lot of different energy storage technologies coming. So maybe that's part of the secret is that there's so when we talk about energy storage, is that there's so many different technologies there that can be used of different sizes, of different characteristics. And one thing I would say a bit of a secret, probably, that is a secret, but just something we should all remember is the portability of energy storage, this can be put anywhere, depending on the technology, it doesn't have to necessarily be in a certain part of the province or the country that has a good natural resource. It can be put anywhere that the system planner needs it. So as we're talking about even utilities, on the utility distribution side, they'll look at their distribution network and say well, where can energy storage work here? And then obviously, the IESO is looking at it from the grander scheme, the prvoincial scale, and saying well, where does it make sense? And so that's the, that's probably the best kept secret of energy storage, and it can be put anywhere.   Dan Seguin  21:10 Having gone through two years of pandemic, what has been the impact of this pandemic, on the energy storage industry? Have there been opportunities that perhaps you weren't aware of before?   Justin Rangooni  21:26 That's an interesting topic. I think, what, obviously, the pandemic has been tough on all sectors with supply chain issues, so that that energy storage is no different from what we're seeing in other jurisdictions as well. But what I think it has allowed system operators and governments to do is to think of other ways how to decarbonize how to provide reliability service, how to make the system more affordable, and has allowed them to start thinking a bit about more innovative solutions, like energy storage, and other non wires alternatives. So the pandemic has allowed that opportunity for more positive thinking, and we're starting to see that in other in Ontario, and and throughout Canada.   Rebecca Schwartz  22:06 All right, we would love to hear your thoughts on vehicle to grid and vehicle to building systems. And if you think that they'll become mainstream when regulatory barriers are lifted.   Justin Rangooni  22:14 So with that one, I think we've worked with some great partners like Plug'n Drive, and others, and there's a few of our members like Peak Power, who are very interested in the vehicle to grid initiative. And where we see a lot of potential obviously, is, with the increased electrification, they hope we'll have a lot more EVs on the road, is we look at that and say, well, your electric vehicle could be your battery for your home, it could be a battery for the local distribution company, if they wanted to utilize it. So in terms of your question of vehicle to grid and what it can do, I think sky's the limit in terms of the innovation, that this could be a real game changer in terms of providing needed electricity when it's required or properly optimizing it. So it's great that people are- utilities and and others are looking at electric vehicles more than just for transportation. It can also power your home, it could help power the distribution network. It's really exciting possibilities.   Dan Seguin  23:15 Okay, here's a bonus round question for customers. What's something you want the average electricity customer or homeowner to know about energy storage? Is there a place for them at the table for them to adopt this tech and help reduce climate change or their own emissions now? What are your recommendations?   Justin Rangooni  23:40 Great follow up to the last question. I think in the next- the short term answer to that one is to look to electric vehicles. That is your best way as the average homeowner in terms of your own decarbonisation efforts, really, is to get that electric vehicle. And again, with vehicle to grid, there could be a lot of possibilities that can even be more decarbonizing to the grid as well. So I would say to the average homeowner, the car battery electric vehicle can be a storage device for you to be a storage device for your utility, a lot of possibilities. So that I would say and then maybe further on in a few more years time, I think you could start seeing some residential energy storage of devices in the home as well. Again, playing with the the electric vehicle, you have in the car, maybe you have some solar panels on your roof, or again, the utility is seeing that the residential energy storage is a great tool for the utility to use. Again, there's a lot of possibilities down the road for the average homeowner but I'd say you know, electric vehicles are here. There's a lot more I would say go pop, go look at Plug'n Drive's website, go look at your local utility, talk to them, and go to your car dealership and see what electric vehicles are out there.   Rebecca Schwartz  24:53 All right, Justin, as you know, we always end our interviews with some rapid fire questions, and we've got some new ones for you. Are you ready?   Justin Rangooni  25:01 Okay, let's go.   Rebecca Schwartz  25:02 What are you reading right now?   Justin Rangooni  25:04 Oh, okay, so I am reading the fiery trial about Abraham Lincoln's evolution of his thinking on slavery, pre Civil War and during Civil War, and obviously afterwards a bit.   Rebecca Schwartz  25:18 If you had to name a boat, if you had one, what would you name it?   Justin Rangooni  25:21 That's a hard one. The only thing that comes to my mind is Boaty McBoatface. That's all like that's, that's it.   Rebecca Schwartz  25:27 Who is someone that you admire?   Justin Rangooni  25:30 So I should say my parents by now I'm talking to Hydro Ottawa. So my answer will be Bryce Conrad.   Rebecca Schwartz  25:35 What's the closest thing to real magic that you've witnessed?   Justin Rangooni  25:38 Oh, I would say the Toronto Raptors winning the NBA championship. I didn't, I didn't think that would have happened in my lifetime. So it was really magical to see and hopefully we can see it again.   Rebecca Schwartz  25:48 What's been the biggest challenge to you personally, since the pandemic began?   Justin Rangooni  25:52 Oh, thebandwidth with the kids were when they were home, with the spouse being home and working. Yeah, it was the bandwidth it was that was that was a challenge.   Rebecca Schwartz  26:02 Okay, we've all been watching a lot more Netflix and TV lately. What's your favorite show or movie right now?   Justin Rangooni  26:07 Oh, I think we watched Superstore and The Fffice on Netflix on perpetual, perpetual loop. It's a nice comfort watch.   Dan Seguin  26:15 Lastly, what's exciting you about your industry right now?   Justin Rangooni  26:21 Well, that's a great, great question to wrap it up on because I think it's this is an exciting sector to be in. I think we're catching the wave right now on some really big possibilities and opportunities for the sector. Because we're energy storage we can provide that value on the utility scale. And through to the distribution side and behind the meter to the residential. I think energy storage is really starting to take off and really becoming seen as a mainstream resource and a tool in our- in Canada's electricity system. So that's what's really exciting and really excited to see what the rest of the decade is going to bring for energy storage.   Dan Seguin  26:57 Well, Justin, this is it. We've reached the end of another episode of the thinkenergy podcast. If your listeners want to learn more about you and your organization, how can they connect?   Justin Rangooni  27:10 They can go on to energystoragecanada.org. We have a refreshed website, they can take a look and and find out some more information see all the work that we're doing see a page of our growing membership list, which includes Hydro Ottawa. Also they can attend our conference in October, it will be in person fingers crossed. Downtown Toronto is what we call it the only national conference focused on energy storage. So it's something if you're interested in storage. You don't want to miss it.   Dan Seguin  27:41 Again, Justin, thank you so much for joining us today. I hope you had lots of fun.   Justin Rangooni  27:46 I always do. This is fantastic. Thank you so much for having me back. Thank you, Daniel.   Dan Seguin  27:50 Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the thinkenergy podcast. And don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review wherever you're listening.

This episode's guest: Matt Stoutenburg of Peak Power Solutions, Inc.Mike and Brian are joined by Matt Stoutenburg of Peak Power Solutions, Inc. Finding himself in hot water in high school after getting in a fender bender without a drivers' license, Matt's mom made him get a job. She was a controller for an electrical contractor and Matt started in the warehouse and learned the trade. Eventually, he started his own business in 2000 as an electrician when lending was flowing and soon started Peak Power Solutions - a solar installation company. Matt goes way back in the industry and was "in the room" when the phraseology was being developed for the customer and the salesperson. In addition, Peak Power Solutions is a turn-key company - meaning they do everything - from sales to installation which is rare in the industry. Check out Matt's episode today!

Subscribe & Review on : Apple Podcasts | Stitcher Ed McNeely received his Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Ottawa in 1994 and has been involved in the strength and conditioning industry for 30 years. He has been a consultant to twenty one Canadian national and professional sports teams and is currently the Strength and Conditioning Lead at the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario.  Ed served as a physiology and strength consultant to Rowing Canada for 24 years - through the Rio 2016 Olympics. He is the author of five books: Power Plyometrics, The Resistance Band Workout Book, One Hundred Strength Exercises, Training for Rowing, and Skillful Rowing. He has published over 100 articles on training and athlete conditioning covering topics such as strength training, plyometrics, making weight, assessing fitness, speed and power development, planning and periodization, and aerobic fitness. He is a frequent resource for other writers, acting as an expert for articles in Muscle & Fitness, Outside Magazine, the Georgia Tech Sports Medicine Newsletter, the Rowing News, the Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen and the Discovery Channel. Ed and I discuss rowing at the elite and masters levels. In addition, he shares how he was able to establish benchmarks for rowing high performance athletes and research using isometrics. Enjoy the show! Part 1 - Ed's  background and bio  What’s the backstory of how you came to work with and be the lead for  the Canadian Rowing Team?  24:00 patience 4-5 exercises for strength Part 2 - Strength Standards for Rowing You were one of the first to research and publish strength and conditioning standards for rowers from the junior through masters levels in both Rowing Faster and Strength and Power Goals for Rowers How did you go about identifying the strength to bodyweight factors for each age group? Did you test each age group? How did you standardize squat depth, bench pull and deadlift for athletes/age groups of various weights and heights? Absolute Strength vs. Relative Strength and why relative strength is more important to a rower. How much strength is too much? Once your athletes hit the standards in the chart outlined in the journal what qualities do you begin to focus on to continue their development? Do you have concerns about mass impeding their ability to row technically or move well? Would you continue to emphasize the back squat, deadlift, and bench pull or is there another skill/lift you would focus on given your experiences at this point? When I attended your lecture at Joy of Sculling you mentioned you have athletes deadlift 1x a week, and squat 3x a week. Why do you feel there should be greater emphasis placed on the squat? Peak Power is the limiting factor of performance Most rowers are pretty equally trained when it comes to aerobic capacity. Peak power is often a key differentiator in rowing performance. Do you think this applies to all rowers or more mature rowers (college, U23, Elite, Masters) vs. juniors and novices? When following the protocol for peak power improvement, power output (strokes) must be 90% of greater. Why? What exercises in S&C do you feel are more transferable to improving power in the rowing stroke? Plyometrics / Jump Training for Rowers “Plyometrics is the link between strength and power” The athlete should be able to squat at least their bodyweight for lower body plyometrics and bench press 0.75 times bodyweight for upper body plyometrics. Why do we need this foundation of strength before we start introducing plyometric work and how were you able to determine this for the rowing population?   Into catch position and accelerate out of catch position      Masters rowers Benefits of strength training for the aging athlete Osteoporosis, dynapenia, sarcopenia, combat loss of power/strength Why masters rowers may need to place greater emphasis on strength training for age and health related factors? What would you prioritize more for this population vs. college/elite? Why you are not a fan of machines vs. free weights.

Electricity grids around the world are in a state of flux as advances in technology are rapidly transforming the way electricity is generated and distributed to homes and businesses, and is changing the way consumers interact with the power grid. On this episode, we sit down with Derek Lim Soo, CEO of Peak Power, to learn more about how advancements in technology are creating opportunities for consumers to actively engage with the electricity system, while also helping the broader electricity grid become more efficient and cost-effective. We also sit down the IESO’s Katherine Sparkes, Director, Innovation, Research and Development, to learn more about the IESO’s Grid Innovation Fund and Innovation Roadmap

Today I'll be talking with my friend Dana DeRosier about utilizing peak power. She currently works at Hemlock Semiconductor in Hemlock MI, so she will be telling us a bit about how they utilize Peak Power. This is also a concept that can be used in your own home, so she will also discuss how she utilizes peak power in her home.

I don't know when it happened. But at some point saving the planet became all of our responsibilities. That's a big ask. But climate change is getting harder and harder to ignore. Becoming more energy efficient is a big piece of this puzzle. It's also a no-brainer for businesses. That's why I invited Lucy Fan from Peak Power onto the show this week. Her company provides battery storage solutions and real-time energy analytics for big commercial buildings. It's an easy solution to a big problem.

Paul and Justin walk us through the whole day here at the Peak Power portion of the event on the dyno! They give us the results on who placed where during today's events!

The days when training software simply showed a power and heart rate curve are a distant memory. Whether you use TrainingPeaks, Golden Cheetah, or some other software, you’ll know that nowadays basic data is mined to reveal a wealth of information about your physiology, strengths, and training. But, as soon as the software starts to interpret data, unavoidably, certain biases come into play. Perhaps better called principles, they are built into the software and any interpretations it performs. It’s not necessarily an issue, but it is important to understand the biases. Most training software is based on biases that Coach Connor fully admits he would use if he was developing software. Created by coaches and physiologists, many training software developers knew what they were looking for and hunted for it in the data. One training package, however, stands out from this. Xert was created by Armando Mastracci who is an engineer first. While he came to understand the physiology, he started by simply looking for trends in the data instead of looking at the physiology. The result is Xert, a tool that has found unique trends which may seem unfamiliar to a physiologist but are certainly compelling. At the heart of Xert is the notion of failure: the idea that we reveal our true fitness and our profile as a rider in the moments when we hit our limits at these points of failure. Armando will talk with us about how he was able to identify these moments of failure in athletes’ training rides, and then use them to create an athlete’s profile and help direct training. But before we dive into the conversation it is helpful to define a few terms that are somewhat unique to Xert and this conversation: First, Maximal Power Available. If you uploaded a workout to Xert, you’d see your normal graphs — heart rate, power, cadence, speed, and so on. What will be new to you is a line calculated by Xert called your MPA or Maximal Power Available. This is a second-by-second graphic of how much power you could produce. When you’re fresh, it’s equal to your sprint power. After a killer attack up a five-minute climb, it may not be much more than your threshold power. It is dynamic and it constantly changes over the course of your ride. We’ve already mentioned failure — it’s that moment when an athlete can’t go any harder. In Xert, it is the moment when your MPA line equals your actual power — meaning you are going as hard as you can go. And if the rider beside you can go harder, they will drop you. Finally, Peak Power, High-intensity Energy, and Threshold. All software packages have moved beyond FTP as the sole parameter used to define an athlete. TrainingPeaks uses a power duration curve. Neal Henderson talked with us in episode 33 about using five-second, one-minute, five-minute, and 20-minute peak power. Armando uses three parameters: 1) Peak Power: simply the power you can hit in a sprint when fresh; 2) High-intensity Energy: our capacity to ride above threshold, which is also often called Watt Prime; 3) Threshold: you know this as FTP. Xert uses moments of failure in rides and races to constantly adjust these three parameters. Our primary guest today is, of course, Armando Mastracci, creator of Xert and owner of Baron Biosystems. He is the original brain behind these concepts, but he has also brought in respected physiologist and owner of Pez cycling, Dr. Stephen Cheung, to interpret these trends from a physiological standpoint, making for a more complete package. Along with Armando, we speak with one of our favorite Fast Talk regulars, Colby Pearce, who needs no introduction. He shares his thoughts on this concept of failure. We also talk with Brent Bookwalter, of the Mitchelton-Scott WorldTour team, about some of these new concepts. Finally, we’ll touch base with Paulo Saldanha, owner of PowerWatts and coach of 2018 worlds bronze medalist Michael Woods. Paulo discusses lab testing in comparison to finding an athlete’s fitness on the road in slightly less structured but more competitive scenarios. This episode is too good to fail. Let’s make you fast!

Most modern training software is based on principles that Coach Connor fully admits he would use if he was developing software.

Nicht nur für die Test- bzw. Vorhörer dieses, bereits im Juli 2015 aufgezeichneten Podcasts, sondern wohl auch für den Trainingslagergast selbst unglaublich bzw. „fast zu schön, um wahr zu sein“: Denn nach dem Kommentar „austherapiert“, vonseiten seiner Therapeuten und somit quasi mitten im Zenith eines „Verletzungstiefs“ und mit chronischen Schulterschmerzen, entschloss Christian Mattes sich doch noch für das Trainingslager mit Jürgen und seinem Profi-Betreuerumfeld – quasi als „letzte Chance“ auf Hilfe. Was nun live on tape zu hören ist, entstand nur 2 ½ Tage nach seiner Ankunft in Dornbirn: Wie es möglich ist, bereits nach ersten kinesiologischen- und physiotherapeutischen Checks und Erstbehandlungen ein vollständiges Maximalkraft-Japaner-Training mit extremen Schulterbelastungen mit über 3 Stunden Umfang schmerzfrei (!) durchzuziehen? Wie und warum der „Bachelor of Tax Management“, der übrigens aufgrund von Jürgens Buch „Peak Power“ zum „Studium über 50“ motiviert wurde, sich weder beruflich, noch im Sportklettern im „Herbst seiner Karriere“ sieht? Weshalb sich sein dritter Trainingslagerbesuch ebenfalls mehr als lohnte? Ob auch für Dich Klettern und Bouldern evtl. DER Weg sein kann, ganzheitlich durchtrainiert, fit und vor allem gesund zu werden und zu bleiben? Wie „Young-“ und „Old-School“ sogar von einander profitieren und, speziell aufgrund des derzeitigen Boulderhallenbooms, eine neue „Abenteuer-Sportszene“, evtl. auch Dir neue Herausforderung bieten kann? Alle Antworten inkl. Gewinnspiel in einem Podcast, bei dem garantiert auch Dir das Athletenherz lacht. Genieß das „Summer-Revival“ und unser Team gratuliert Christian!

Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Auswirkungen eines motivationsorientierten Sportprogramms auf die Körperzusammensetzung, den Metabolismus und die Psyche von jugendlichen Typ 1 Diabetikern und stoffwechselgesunden Jugendlichen zu untersuchen. An der Studie nahmen insgesamt 14 Jugendliche teil, 8 mit Diabetes mellitus Typ 1 (männlich/weiblich = 4/4, Durchschnittsalter 14,8 Jahre, Durchschnittsdiabetesdauer 6,5 Jahre), 6 stoffwechselgesunde (männlich/weiblich = 3/3, Durchschnittsalter 15,1 Jahre). Wir untersuchten vor und nach einem sechswöchigen Sportprogramm die diabetische Stoffwechsellage, die Körperzusammensetzung, die Lebensqualität, den Trainingszustand sowie Risikofaktoren für mikro- und makrovaskuläre Folgeerkrankungen. Besonderes Augenmerk lag beim Sportprogramm auf der Wahl von Trend- und Funsportarten, welche die Jugendlichen gern betreiben und die vorher anhand eines Fragebogens ermittelt worden waren. Das Programm sollte innerhalb eines Zeitraums von 6 Wochen Impulse geben, welche die Jugendlichen in ihre gewohnte Umgebung mitnehmen könnten. Als Parameter für körperliche Fitness wurden die Peak Power, die maximale 5-s-Arbeit (Fahrradausbelastungstest) sowie die Belastungsdauer und die Maximalgeschwindigkeit (Laufbandergometrie) bestimmt. Weiterhin wurden Kraft, Ausdauer und Koordination (Münchner-Fitness-Test) untersucht. Die Peak Power nahm bei beiden Gruppen und Geschlechtern im Verlauf zu. Die maximale 5-s-Arbeit nahm sogar deutlich zu. Die Leistung auf dem Laufband nahm ebenfalls deutlich zu, da die Teilnehmer längere Belastungsdauern und höhere Maximalgeschwindigkeiten erreichten. Die anhand des standartisierten Münchner Fitnesstests ermittelten Defizite im koordinativen Bereich, der Ausdauer und der Kraft konnten im Rahmen des Sportprogramms bei allen Teilnehmern reduziert werden. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gut geführte Jugendliche mit Diabetes die selben Leistungen erbringen können wie gleichaltrige Stoffwechselgesunde. Sie stehen diesen weder bezüglich Muskelkraft noch Kondition oder koordinativen Fähigkeiten nach. Ausserdem konnte gezeigt werden, dass regelmässige sportliche Betätigung keinen negativen sondern im Gegenteil einen positiven Einfluss auf die diabetische Stoffwechsellage und den Umgang mit der Erkrankung hat. Das HbA1c nahm im Verlauf leicht ab (8,4% auf 8,1%). Während des Studienzeitraums nahm die Zahl der Unterzuckerungen im Kollektiv nicht zu und es traten keine schweren Hypo- oder Hyperglykämien auf. Insgesamt führte das Programm dazu, dass die Teilnehmer ihre Blutzuckertagebücher gewissenhafter führten oder sogar erst damit begannen, obwohl dies nicht von ärztlicher Seite gefordert wurde. Die Anzahl der täglichen Blutzuckermessungen nahm zu (4,1/d auf 4,9/d, p = 0,02) und damit auch die Zahl der täglichen Insulininjektionen ( 3,8/d auf 4,3/d, p = 0,5) bei gleichzeitiger Abnahme der gespritzten Insulineinheiten (46,5/d auf 45,8/d, p = 0,6). Die zur Bestimmung der Körperzusammensetzung verwendeten Verfahren zeigten unterschiedliche Resultate. Während die Bestimmung des Body-Mass-Index (BMI) und die Faltendickenbestimmung keine Geschlechtsunterschiede und keine Veränderungen durch den Sport zeigen konnten, fiel in der Bio-Impedanz-Analyse (BIA) bereits vor Studienbeginn ein deutlicher Unterschied bezüglich der Magermasse zwischen den Geschlechtern auf. Der Anteil der Magermasse lag bei den Jungen über dem der Mädchen. Die Fettmassen zeigten keine Unterschiede. In der zweiten Untersuchung nach Ende des Sportprogramms war die Magermasse bei beiden Geschlechtern deutlich angestiegen, die Fettmasse hatte in beiden leicht abgenommen. Auch bei der Körperzusammensetzungen konnten keine Einflüsse durch den Diabetes festgestellt werden, das heisst, dass in unserem Kollektiv die Diabetiker keineswegs dicker waren als ihre stoffwechselgesunden Altersgenossen und die Muskelmasse durch die sportliche Betätigung in beiden Gruppen gleichermassen zunahm. Weitgehend unverändert blieben während des Untersuchungszeitraums der Puls, der Blutdruck, die Serumlipide sowie das Lipoprotein (a).
