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.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include the design, development, laboratory testing, and pilot scale field demonstration of software and hardware devices. Design and development activities would occur in dedicated research facilities at UCR in Riverside, CA, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in Berkeley, CA, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, CA. Hardware testing would occur in the purpose-build research and development facility of Pacific Gas & Electric in Ramon, CA. No change in the use, mission or operation of existing facilities would arise out of these efforts. The facilities in which design, development, and laboratory testing would occur have all applicable permits in place, and would not need additional permits for the proposed activities.
