KEY RESEARCH QUESTION How might dynamic pricing effectively reduce grid congestion via automated demand response? What enhancements and innovation ideation to current customer technologies are needed to bring widespread implementation of dynamic pricing, particularly in Southern California...

The behind-the-meter (BTM) battery systems will be administered by Sunrun® and used to provide planned and real-time demand response grid services. The VPP project will enroll 200-500 customers in the project from a population of approximately 1,000 customers with existing or new Sunrun PV-paired...

HPWH Flexible DR Communication Demonstration Lab for Water Heating...

The objective of this project is to evaluate the performance in the laboratory of two small wall-mounted Heat Pump Water Heaters from Europe and their ability to provide hot water in a more efficient manner and with lower total emissions. The HPWHs are commercially available in Europe,...

Identify and evaluate EE measures associated with Commercial Customers' desire to mitigate COVID-19 infection rates within their occupied buildings. These EE measures will include, but not be limited to, timed control of portable fan/filter and fan/UV light plug-in appliances, and needlepoint...

This project is aimed at demonstrating new services and benefits of LED Street Lighting including new technologies that can integrate with LED Controls/Remote Monitoring to provide additional functionality and capability. These additional capabilities include signage, cameras, microphones,...

Field evaluation, in three commercial sites, of a small wall-mounted heat pump water heater. This follows an EPRI lab evaluation of the same product. This equipment is not currently available in voltages employed in the United States, and isn't UL Listed. Research questions: • Can these products...

Laboratory and field study of hybrid systems that provide space conditioning and domestic hot water in the non-residential...

The commercial and industrial refrigeration landscape is changing due to pressures to reduce global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP) of refrigerants. In response to these changes, manufacturers are producing new technologies which are designed to accommodate the required...

Lab or field test of phase change material (PCM) installed in air conditioning systems' supply air duct. PCM freezes during off-peak periods, then melts to offset compressorized cooling during peak hours. $47,000 included labor and materials to install Stasis on a customer site, on a 5 ton AC...
