The purpose of this project is to perform laboratory and field tests of commercially available pool pumps and pool pump controllers designed to enable curtailment of pool pump loads in response to DR event (curtailment) or pricing signals. This work is a follow-up to prior studies that estimated...

The project's primary goal will be to demonstrate technical and economic feasibility of all electric ZNE homes. It will also look at integrating ZNE homes into the electric grid. This project will demonstrate ZNE solutions within the multifamily category. The outcomes from this project will provide...

This project performs laboratory testing of various smart appliances from different manufacturers to quantify the load curtailment potential of these appliances during DR events. Conducted in a controlled environment, these tests provide an opportunity to observe how smart appliances react to price...

This project seeks to advance and support participation in the Permanent Load Shift (PLS) Program. Using the latest, advanced building energy simulation engine, a pre-feasibility tool will be created. In this tool, thermal energy storage (TES) models will be defined for chilled water systems, ice...

The purpose of the project was to assess how the OVGIP can best determine, report and facilitate OEM(s) to provide grid services through demand side management and to evaluate the DR measurement data results (10/10 baseline method) collected through the OVGIP to determine the use of OEM measurement...

The T-24 standard will require thermostats installed in residential buildings to be capable of receiving and responding to demand response (and price)...

The purpose of the project to demonstrate capabilities of AutoDR enabled OCSTs in light commercial settings. This phase will field test a different vendor than phase 1, at a different fast food...

The purpose of this project is to perform laboratory and field tests of commercially available pool pumps and pool pump controllers designed to enable curtailment of pool pump loads in response to DR event (curtailment) or pricing...

Various utilities from around the country are evaluating systems for energy management that are low-cost, applicable to end-users, and useful to utilities and aggregators. This project is investigating an energy management circuit breaker (EMCB) with several additional features. The EMCB is a...

This project covers SCE involvement in the EPA’s specification development for “Connected” ENERGY STAR products, initiated by EPA to respond to the emerging Smart Grid and the need for compatible end-use products. By participating , SCE seeks to inform EPA on the technical abilities of smart meters...
