IV.  Statement of Work - Task Descriptions, Deliverables, and Estimated Completion Dates: 
a.   Task Descriptions 
Task 1-Central Utility Plant (CUP) 
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is a top-ten U.S. airport, serving 51.8 million
passengers and 453,549 metric tons of air cargo in 2019. The facility, part of the Port of Seattle is in
one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation.  The airport was one of the first airports
in the nation to develop a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory (2006) and begin setting goals to
become carbon neutral by 2050.
The Port of Seattle has a net zero emission target for 2050 and has already been able to reach its
2030 emission reduction goal of 50% through the use of zero carbon electricity, low carbon fuels,
and primarily due to renewable natural gas. With work progressing on these goals, legacy systems
operating on fossil fuels are significant barriers to the Port meeting its emissions reduction targets.
SEA Airport's aggressive emissions reduction goals require actions to be addressed years in advance
to most cost effectively align with scheduled maintenance and facility upgrades.
The Port of Seattle has committed to addressing all new energy demand through conservation and
renewable energy sources and the airport's Central Mechanical Plant natural gas usage is a
1 of 7 
FIA SOW (7-22-19)

significant load that is being considered for optimization along with other emission sources at the
Port.
Project Description 
The primary goals of this project are to identify opportunities for reducing emissions for the airport
while expanding the thermal generation capacities for the primary central mechanical plant
supporting the majority of terminal loads.
An existing central plant has four natural gas boilers that produces steam from natural gas for
heating and eight electric chillers plus three water side economizing plate frame heat exchangers
that produce chilled water for cooling. The plant has been in its current location approximately 50
years, with maintained, rebuilt, upgraded and replaced equipment over its lifetime. Three of the
boilers are approximately 50 years old, 1 boiler 13 years old, 1 chiller 30 years old, 3 chillers 20
years and 4 chillers 15 years. As part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), the airport is
evaluating the ability to expand by approximately 24 gates to the north and expects to build a
utilidor to the new facility. The existing system distributes steam to multiple terminal concourses
via steam piping utilidors to hot water heat exchangers. Additional load on the facility is generated
via the pre-conditioned air (PCA) heating system which is part of the highly efficient PCA
cooling/heating system plant. Projected heating demand, with the addition of the 24 gates appears to
exceed available capacity, based on peak demand. Concepts under consideration include expanding
the existing central plant for heat generation, installing a new facility to service additional square
footage or some other combination of solutions. 
To this end, NREL will: 
1.  Provide feedback on any existing studies and guidance for future utility planning, including
the Utility Master Plan (Mechanical Books from SD-4, SD-3, and SD-11) 
2.  Review existing plant operations, performance, loads and level of utilization. 
3.  After review of available data, review assumptions with SEA that will influence potential
alternatives. Initial assumptions include low cost of electrical energy, aspirational goals for
carbon reduction, limited space, and meeting future energy needs through conservation.
Energy resiliency, the ability to recover from disruptive but infrequent events, will be
evaluated as a potential assumption.
4.  Develop conceptual-level concepts for the future state of the CMP. Technologies that may
be considered include but are not limited to conversion of heating system from steam to hot
water, geothermal ground source heat pumps, heat pump based central plant using heat
recovery chillers, thermal storage, battery storage, combined heat and power, wastewater
heat recovery, and other potential solutions regarding long term energy needs as requested.
5.  Review potential concepts for the future state of the CMP with SEA key staff for refinement.
This will include obtaining additional feedback on facility space limitations. 
6.  Assess proposed alternatives in relation to any existing overall energy strategy and potential
reductions in emissions.
7.  For the preferred solution, utilize the NREL REopt tool to provide a techno-economic
analysis for the proposed mix of power and/or heat generation, existing and potential energy
sources, thermal and electric storage, and demand optimization for primary loads of the
central mechanical plant. Effort will include a preliminary review of assumptions with SEA,
review of draft results of analysis and final results of efforts.

Task 2-Waterfront Clean Energy Electrification Study 
In the Strategic Objectives section of the Century Agenda, the Port of Seattle has committed to
addressing all new energy demand through conservation and renewable energy.  In addition, the
Port of Seattle has committed to reducing air pollutants and GHG in a stepwise function to
eventually meet the goal of carbon neutral or carbon negative by 2050 for all ground and maritime
transportation needs.
Under this mandate, the Port of Seattle has undertaken the Seattle Waterfront Clean Energy
Strategic Plan (SWCESP) initiative. The Port of Seattle has retained a consultant to develop various
components of this strategic plan (e.g., project planning, vision/goals, current/forecasted energy
needs, planning scenarios, and implementation strategy). To complement this analysis, the Port of
Seattle would like to utilize NREL's unique modeling, analysis, and facilities in certain areas to
provide a greater understanding and knowledge of potential scenarios to achieve these ambitious
3 of 7 
FIA SOW (7-22-19)

goals. NREL recommends a phased approach for their assistance based on current financial
limitations and study needs of the Port.
Phase I would focus on providing an optimal set of energy asset combinations for the Port of Seattle
to make preliminary pathway decisions for Pier 46 and 91. Future phases of collaboration could
utilize the various models and tools at NREL to provide a holistic operational optimization if needed
in the future by the Port of Seattle. 
Project Description 
The goal of this project is to identify energy asset combinations (e.g., on-site renewable generation,
energy storage, and other considerations such as transportation vehicle loads or on-site generation of
renewable fuels) to address energy costs, network constraints (as determined by others), and
sustainability initiatives. In coordination with the Port of Seattle, NREL can technically validate
and financially evaluate options for the SWCESP.
To this end, NREL will provide: 
1.  Coordination and Management. NREL will engage as a stakeholder and advisor to the Port
in 1) evaluating current energy demand, load and capacity profiles, 2) forecasting demands
and planning scenarios, and 3) analysis of alternatives. It is expected that NREL will
collaborate with the Port and their designated representatives for approximately 100 hours in
support of the evaluation of current and forecasted energy demands and clean energy planning
scenarios, participating in working groups, advising on data collection efforts to increase
efficiency for all parties, reviewing documents and providing industry insights into emerging
technologies.

2.  Techno-economic assessment. Upon completion of the current inventories and forecasted
scenarios, NREL will assess the technical and economic viability of several renewable energy
and energy storage technologies with a focus on Terminal 91 using NREL's Renewable
Energy Optimization (REopt) tool. NREL will consider current and proposed future energy
consumption, energy cost, renewable energy resource, technology cost, space available, and
distribution system constraints as defined in the Port's planning efforts This analysis will be
informed by any existing studies such as conceptual site planning, microgrid evaluations, and
future load profile development. NREL will work with Port of Seattle, its consultant, and
other key stakeholders in the development of several load profiles that bracket Pier
redevelopment and offer operational flexibility. The analysis will be performed for up to three
different existing facility meters and/or aggregation of similar meters, up to 3 load scenarios,
and up to 3 RE targets. The recommended system sizes and economics (initial cost, O&M
cost, lifecycle cost, and net present value) for each meter will be provided. While Pier 46 will
not be evaluated in the REopt model, the results from Pier 91 analysis will be summarized and
can be used to inform Pier 46 decisions.
Data Requirements: 
Inclusion in Port data collection and planning processes; coordination and access to relevant data
and deliverables including: 
Detailed inventory of Port energy uses and demand profiles by location.

Appendix D  Background Intellectual Property 
Patents, Patent Applications, and Record of Inventions 
Project Title: Central mechanical Plant and Waterfront Clean Energy Strategic Plan 
The Contractor and the Sponsor have identified and agreed that the following Background Intellectual Property may
be used in the performance of work under this Agreement and may be needed to practice the results of this
Agreement. 
Contractor: 
NREL SWR-12-19: "REopt (Renewable Energy Optimization)" 
Sponsor: 
None Expected 
"Intellectual Property" means patents, trademarks, copyrights, mask works, and other forms of comparable property
rights protected by Federal Law and foreign counterparts, except trade secrets. 
"Background Intellectual Property" means the Intellectual Property identified by the Parties that was in existence
prior to or is first produced outside of this Agreement, except that in the case of inventions in those identified items,
the inventions must have been conceived outside of this Agreement and not first actually reduced to practice under
this Agreement to qualify as Background Intellectual Property. 
Each Party may use the other Party's identified Background Intellectual Property solely in performance of research
under the Statement of Work detailed in Appendix A of this Agreement. This Agreement does not grant to either
Party any option, grant, or license to commercialize, or otherwise use the other Party's Background Intellectual
Property outside of this Agreement. Licensing of Background Intellectual Property, if agreed to by the Parties, shall
be the subject of separate licensing agreements between the Parties. 
The Parties understand that Background Intellectual Property may control or dominate a Subject Invention
generated under this Agreement. For any such Subject Invention controlled by Contractor Background Intellectual
Property, Contractor agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Sponsor to establish terms of the nonexclusive,
commercial license. It is understood by the Sponsor that the Contractor shall have no obligation to grant such a
license to the Sponsor and may grant exclusive or nonexclusive commercial licenses to others or sell or assign all
or part of the rights in the Background Intellectual Property to any third party(ies), subject to any pre-existing rights
held by the Government and obligations to others. 
The Parties agree to maintain all unpublished Background Intellectual Property as confidential. Upon termination of
this Agreement, each Party agrees to promptly discontinue its use of the other Party's Background Intellectual
Property and will, at the other Party's request, return or destroy all remaining Background Intellectual Property. In
the event the Contractor terminates this Agreement (1) for breach with respect to any material provision thereof; or
(2) pursuant to the Termination Article of this Agreement, the Sponsor's rights to all NREL Background Intellectual
Property will automatically terminate. 
Each Party has used reasonable efforts to list all relevant Background Intellectual Property, but Intellectual Property
may exist that is not identified. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party because of failure to list Background
Intellectual Property.
