The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to develop and validate a distributed energy resource (DER) management system that automates integration and control of DER clusters with advanced sensor data. A previous NEPA determination (GFO-0008001-001; CXs A9, B3.6; 04/28/2017) reviewed Tasks 1-3 (Budget Period 1) and Task 4 (Budget Period 2), but restricted Tasks 5-7 (Budget Period 2) and Tasks 8-9 (Budget Period 3) pending the identification of sites for an initial pilot field test (Task 5) followed by a larger-scale full pilot field validation (Task 8). Since that time, locations for both the initial and full pilot field tests have been identified. This NEPA determination is to review all remaining project activities.
