This project focuses on demonstrating residential DR by examining various treatments to three separate groups of homes: a community energy storage (CES) block, a ZNE block (that also uses energy storage), and an RESU block. All homes will receive communicating thermostats, energy information...

This project will identify the technical requirements needed to enhance the capabilities of a battery-based permanent load shift (PLS) to perform DR functionality, as well as investigate and define telemetry and control requirements. The project will also help identify and develop recommendations...

This project aims to evaluate the potential for customers with water pumping equipment to participate in an Ancillary Services DR...

This project is evaluating and testing small (4-kilowatt [kW]) automotive-grade advanced lithium-ion battery modules for use as a residential energy storage unit (RESU). The goal is to evaluate the potential of using in-home batteries during DR events or localized distribution constraints to...

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...

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...

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...

This project will lab test the DR functionality of the DR capable refrigerator to be installed as part of the ISGD...

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...

Evaluate the performance of variable speed compressor and supply fan controller for packaged rooftop...
