The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to optimize photovoltaic (PV) control architecture for beneficial integration of distributed energy resources with the grid.
DOE previously completed a final NEPA determination for this project (GFO-0007163-001, CX-A9, CX-B3.6, 12/22/2015). DOE is now considering changes to the project as proposed by EPRI. EPRI has proposed the following:
- Changing the location of the roof-mounted PV system to the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU)
- Installing PV demonstration systems that include smart inverters and energy storage systems at two residential properties
