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...

Automated Demand Response Capabilities of Variable Refrigerant Flow Technologies: Manufacturer...

This project, a part of EPRI Subproject G, is selecting and testing a sample of these technologies, both in the lab and in the field, to determine the ability of these technologies to meet SCE’s demand-reduction...

A retrofit device for HVAC rooftop units that can respond to DR signals. The controller can either shut off the unit or it can limit or vary the speed of the indoor fan and...
