Project Title
Demonstrating Grid Integration of ZNE Communities
Project Number ET14SCE1060 Organization SCE End-use Whole Building Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2015 - 2018Description
Southern California Edison (SCE) is teaming up with EPRI and a large production homebuilder to design, build and monitor a new ZNE residential community in Fontana, CA. SCE will act as the project's lead on emerging DSM technologies, battery storage integration, electrical grid optimization and post-monitoring. SCE will document the process of achieving the statewide goal of ZNE through a hands-on, engaged and collaborative approach. Primary goals of the project include increasing market exposure of already-proven EE/DR/DG/ES technologies and addressing market barriers to ZNE in support of CA's Strategic Plan (CLTEESP).
Project Results
The goal of the California Solar Initiative (CSI) Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment (RD&D) Program is to foster a sustainable and self-supporting customer-sited solar market. To achieve this, the California Legislature authorized the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to allocate $50 million of the CSI budget to an RD&D program. Strategically, the RD&D program seeks to leverage cost-sharing funds from other state, federal and private research entities, and targets activities across these four stages:
-Grid integration, storage, and metering: 50-65%
-Production technologies: 10-25%
-Business development and deployment: 10-20%
-Integration of energy efficiency, demand response, and storage with photovoltaics (PV)
