Overview
Grant Description
Uderms Icommunity: Utility managed distributed energy resources intelligent community.
Awardee
Funding Goals
A CONNECTED COMMUNITY (CC) IS A GROUP OF GRID-INTERACTIVE EFFICIENT BUILDINGS (GEB) WITH DIVERSE, FLEXIBLE END USE EQUIPMENT AND OTHER DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES (DERS) THAT COLLECTIVELY WORK TO MAXIMIZE BUILDING, COMMUNITY, AND GRID EFFICIENCY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS FOA IS TO SELECT PROJECTS THAT WILL DEMONSTRATE HOW GROUPS OF BUILDINGS COMBINED WITH OTHER TYPES OF DERS, SUCH AS ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING AND PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) GENERATION, CAN RELIABLY AND COST-EFFECTIVELY SERVE AS GRID ASSETS BY STRATEGICALLY DEPLOYING EFFICIENCY AND DEMAND FLEXIBILITY. BY DEMONSTRATING THE ABILITY OF GROUPS OF BUILDINGS AND DERS TO MODIFY LOAD, THE FOA OUTCOMES WILL ENABLE INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY, REDUCED ENERGY DEMAND, AND REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
UNDER THIS FOA, DOE WILL SELECT A PORTFOLIO OF “CONNECTED COMMUNITY” PROJECTS TOTALING UP TO $65 MILLION IN VARYING CLIMATES, GEOGRAPHIES, BUILDING TYPES, BUILDING VINTAGES, DERS UTILITY/GRID/REGULATORY STRUCTURES AND RESOURCE BASES. THROUGH FUNDING THESE PROJECTS, DOE HOPES TO FIND AND SHARE TECHNICAL AND MARKET SOLUTIONS THAT WILL INCREASE DEMAND FLEXIBILITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FOA, A DER IS DEFINED AS A RESOURCE (COMMUNITY-SCALE OR BUILDING-SCALE) THAT CAN PROVIDE ALL OR SOME IMMEDIATE ELECTRIC AND/OR POWER NEEDS AND CAN ALSO BE USED BY THE COMMUNITY TO EITHER REDUCE DEMAND (SUCH AS ENERGY EFFICIENCY) OR SUPPLY POWER TO SATISFY THE ENERGY, CAPACITY, OR ANCILLARY SERVICE NEEDS OF THE DISTRIBUTION GRID. IN ADDITION IT SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, CLOSE TO LOAD, AND THE MAJORITY OF PRODUCED ENERGY SHOULD BE CONSUMED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DERS INCLUDE PHOTOVOLTAICS (PV), ENERGY STORAGE, WIND, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP), DEMAND RESPONSE (DR), ENERGY EFFICIENCY (EE), MICROGRIDS, AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
