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...

Codes and Standards will work with ENERGY STAR on two aspects: 1) update the test methods for “connected water heaters” and ENERGY STAR...

Demand management and flexibility test of a commercial building with implemented EE and DR...

This project will help determine the effectiveness of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in cold storage applications at Low Temperature -10 - 0 F (-23 - 18 C). Controls will also be implemented into the study to determine how compatible it is with PCMs. A total of 4 tests will be done on warehouses to...
