The purpose of this Demand Response Emerging Technology (DRET) Assessment is to confirm that, in a laboratory setting, end-use energy consumption by certain appliances can be automatically controlled by a combination of: (1) a frequently changing (every 5 minutes) GHG intensity signal based on...

The proposed project will involve conducting a thorough review of prior results for behavioral intervention experiments for residential customers. The review will compare the effectiveness of various techniques, including how energy data is presented and which in‐home devices are used. The emphasis...

PG&E is interested in designing new incentive structures for standards based Automated Demand Response (ADR) control technologies. Specifically:PG&E is interested in working with ADR vendors to explore different approaches to developing new channels through which third parties can provide...

The first phase of the SIM Home project discussed the potential effects of variations in user behavior on estimates of energy consumption for plug load devices. Three types of variations were explored: (1) the duration or number of times per day the device is used, (2) the frequency or periodicity...

This report summarizes the conducted research, sources and findings. One finding is that available information is indeed not sufficiently detailed and up to date to accurately quantify power management software savings potential. A larger scale study remains nevertheless questionable, for several...

OpenADR Test Lab Development - SCE Technology Test Center...

This project is a laboratory evaluation of commercial plug load controls. The control devices connect wirelessly to the cloud and can report energy usage data. These devices are specific to commercial applications. The objective of the evaluation is to test the controls capability of the devices,...

Areas of Focus developed through EM&T DR Planning & Tactic study, and will help develop EM&T's Energy Storage Technology Road...

This project includes (1) identifying, characterizing, and quantifying the impacts of climate-change affected atmospheric and hydrological conditions on electricity system generation, renewable potential, and demand, (2) determines the implications for meeting greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and...

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...
