San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) contracted with Demand Side Analytics (DSA) to conduct analysis and develop tools to target Demand Response (DR) programs, behind-the-meter (BTM) battery storage, and distributed solar. The team designed the research tool to inform customer targeting and...

SCE provided a Letter of Commitment (LOC) in support of LBNL’s proposal titled “A framework to characterize the performance of building components in providing flexible loads and building services using a hardware-in-the-loop approach” in response to the DOE’s BENEFIT FOA 0002090 solicitation,...

Southern California Edison (SCE) provided a Letter of Commitment in support of LBNL’s proposal for the EPIC GFO 19-301 Group 4 EPIC solicitation, intending to cost share $300,000 ($150k / $150k from ET/DR). The project will develop and demonstrate an open-source energy and load management system...

The goal of this project is to assess the energy and demand savings resulting from a solar assisted direct expansion (DX) system.  A field test was conducted in a 1,600 sq. ft. single-story residential home located within SDG&E territory. In this test, an emerging technology that consists...

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...

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...

This study builds on SCE’s recent research and analyses on the subject that looks beyond the largest agencies and common strategies to assess technical DR opportunities, strategies, and program offerings that can be useful to a broader set of agency sizes and treatment plant configurations....

As part of SJV Pilot, SCE included a study to deploy HPWHs equipped with communication technology that will allow the water heater to be used as a grid-responsive heating technology element of the pilot to electrify homes and reduce emissions within the SJV. SCE hopes to gain insight into how...
