University of Maryland (Prime), EPRI, Sunamp, Heat Technologies, ORNL, Rheem is developing a technology consisting of a dual-purpose (heating and cooling) thermal battery with room temperature storage integrated with heat pump(s) (HP’s), for both residential and commercial applications. The thermal...

SCE research has been to pursue various research and technology assessments to garner insight on EE opportunities and the reduction of potential GRID impacts related to the growing markets of Indoor Horticulture/Agriculture.  The project will access that all technologies within an indoor cannabis...

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...

Objectives:  1. EPRI identified “a need to conduct lab evaluation and field demonstrations, in order to identify gaps between program requirements and device response. Results 2 from such evaluations can be transferred to manufacturers and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) for standards...

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 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...

The Advanced Heat Pump Coalition is a group of utility and energy efficiency interested parties that has agreed to share knowledge and align efforts to have biggest impact on HVAC industry efforts that help utilities accelerate market adoption of residential heat pumps. The Advanced Heat Pump...

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...

This project will develop high efficiency air-to-water heat pump technologies, and further develop low-cost, polymer water-to-air heat exchangers that have improved performance (effectiveness/pressure drop) at lower cost.  System will have a primary loop consisting of flammable low GWP refrigerants...

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...
