The SCE’s Technology Test Centers (TTC) evaluate a variety of technologies in controlled environments that mirror real-world conditions and customer experiences. This generates comprehensive performance data and innovative test methods which are used by SCE customers, policymakers, and utility...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) submitted a proposal to the CEC in response to Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) solicitation GFO-19-309.  Southern California Edison (SCE) provided a Letter of Commitment in support of LBNL’s proposal for the EPIC solicitation. The proposal was...

The objective of the study is to assess the costs and benefits of real-time rates, including required infrastructure, manufacturer interest, and customer impacts. The research approach will evaluate tariffs and their characteristics, demonstrate how these tariffs can be communicated to different...

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...

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. The project will develop and demonstrate an open-source energy and load management system designed to control advanced heat pumps on small/medium...

CEC EPIC GFO-19-307  Mobile homes are lagging in terms of energy efficiency requirements with associated high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Mobile homes are disproportionately located in disadvantaged and low-income communities, and residents face outsized energy bills and...

The proposed technology is a residential/ small commercial heat pump (~3-5 tons capacity) that cascades a thermoelectric (TE) heat pump with a conventional air-source heat pump. This heat pump will (a) Boost capacity and COP at colder outside air temperatures, (b) Reduce peak demand by eliminating...

The day-to-day operations of printers and converters are driven by the many variables of press operation, the need for quality, speed and low production costs including energy efficiency. These operations use solvent- or water-based inks and adhesives that require some method of drying other than...

The Pilot will combine real time pricing design and transactional subscription elements from both the RATES and UNIDE tariff concepts. This is a prudent approach to enhancing and scaling up a system wide demand flexibility approach to improve system reliability and enhance customer benefits. The...

Develop, test and demonstrate an open-source, add-on, advanced heat pump load control system for both water heating and space conditioning that does all of the following: 1. Responds to hourly or sub-hourly price and demand response signals to minimize cost and grid impacts 2. Optimizes energy use...
