Gas Demand Response -To Scale or Not to Scale, that is the Question: Findings from a C&I Pilot

ABSTRACTFraunhofer and National Grid conducted a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a gas Demand Response (DR) program that compensates larger commercial and industrial (C&I) customers to reduce gas consumption during peak gas demand periods, i.e., 6 to 9AM on very cold days. If the gas distribution system cannot maintain target pressure levels, the gas distribution utility may need to..

When Two Isn’t Better Than One: Algorithms to Remotely Identify Insulation and Air Sealing Retrofit Opportunities in Homes with Two Communicating Thermostats

By: Dr. Michael Zeifman / Nov 13, 2020 3:11:45 PM / Building Energy Systems - Testing

ABSTRACTComputational methods analyzing interval data from Communicating Thermostats (CTs) have been proposed to remotely evaluate home thermal performance, e.g., to identify priority homes for energy retrofits or characterize homes’ demand response potentials. Such methods usually consider homes with a single CT. Many homes have two CTs and the two streams of CT data could provide greater..

Seeing the Future: Evaluation of Time-Series Load-Prediction Methodologies for Optimal Energy Storage Dispatch in Solar-Dominant Distribution Grids

ABSTRACTOptimal dispatch of battery energy storage on solar-dominant distribution grids requires accurate time-series characterization of net loads at all hours of the day and over multiple seasons to mitigate both peak loading and to help manage reverse power flow during periods of high solar production / low demand, such as sunny spring and fall days.
