The study assessed the potential to leverage Electric Vehicle (EV) Automated Demand Response (ADR) charging technologies through the Demand Response Emerging Technology Program (DRET) from 2020–2021. It analyzed interval data from 71,000 EV customers in PG&E’s service territory to...

The emerging technology is a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified food product simulating sensor medium that changes the existing ‘air-temp’ thermostat into a ‘food-temp’ thermostat in a refrigeration unit. By enclosing the existing temperature sensor in a...

This study compared the effectiveness of remote HVAC monitoring with FDD to the traditional residential quality maintenance baseline. The emerging technology is an add-on unit and works on most residential HVAC systems, tracking the performance of an HVAC system real-time through 10 sensors...

Objectives:  1. EPRI identified “a need to conduct lab evaluation and field demonstrations, in order to identify gaps between program requirements and device response. Results 2 from such evaluations can be transferred to manufacturers and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) for standards...

EPRI is utilizing internal resources in this supplemental program agreement to address specific EM&T focus areas for renewable integration, CS/T&D coordination, innovative residential DR technologies, ZNE market assessment for grid impacts, CEC EPIC DR-related activities at EPRI, and tech transfer...

The agricultural sector in CA represents a substantial portion of peak load : about 1.6 GW during summer peak hours (4 to 9pm). However, this sector is also characterized by uniquely intermittent load patterns associated with seasonal irrigation pumping and process loads that may or may not be...

This project studied the demand response (DR) and energy efficiency (EE) effects of the Time of Use (TOU) Energy Display in-home-device (IHD). The TOU Energy Display device is a Wi-Fi-enabled, internet of things (IoT) device designed to receive and display residential time-of-use (TOU) rates based...

Voice Assistants have found very rapid market adoption increasing to nearly five-fold in market penetration in the U.S. between 2017 and 2021.  All three major voice assistant platforms provide an ecosystem for developing applications.  Amazon has termed applications that are built to...

Create a specification for a standardized building-level VEN (VENB) and output application interface, which will eliminate the burden of ADR connectivity from the individual end-use loads. Loads need only connect to the VENB via its defined communication interface and then receive a standardized...

This technology provides permanent load shifting (PLS) for commercial refrigeration systems, similar to the HVAC thermal energy storage systems that are used for PLS at many facilities with central plants. kW Engineering will provide measurement and verification services at one Stater Brothers...
