2 EPRI s Role Collaboratively Move Technologies to the Commercialization Stage Basic Research and Development Collaborative Technology Development Integration Application Technology Commercialization National Laboratories EPRI Universities Technology Accelerator! Suppliers Vendors Independent, non-profit, collaborative research institute, with fullspectrum industry coverage Nuclear Power Generation Power Delivery & Utilization Environmental 2

3 EPRI End-Use Technology Pipeline Accelerating Readiness of Emerging Efficient Technologies Technology Scouting Assessment and Lab Testing R&D Field Tests/Demos 10s to 100s of units Coordinated Early Deployments 100s 1000s of units Full Program Rollout EPRI Technology Innovation EPRI EE Base Program EPRI EE Demonstration Project e.g., Northwest Alliance rollout of 8,000+ ductless heat pumps Utility EE Programs Scouting horizon for promising technologies Technology assessment and validation Instrument extensively Evaluate: estimated deemed savings, installation, demographics, behavior 3 Performance results to refine deemed savings Consumer behavior Build supply chain infrastructure Full adoption Conduct M&V

4 Key Industry Challenges: Coordinate Demand Response Research to Address Industry Needs Making DR a More Automated, Ubiquitous, and Reliable Resource Expand Opportunities for Electrification to Enhance Customer Productivity Electricity as an end-use solution to benefit customers and society 4

5 Load Management Long term load management Energy Efficiency Motivated by legislated policy, internal policy State PUCs (IOUs) Economics of capital expense Other internal drivers Short term load management Demand Response & Renewable Integration Motivated by system needs Distribution feeder loading Wind & solar integration Peak load management 5

6 Load Management Traditional Load management has been around for years Energy Efficiency & DR programs Static loads are switched off Relay control Water heaters Air conditioners Swimming pool pumps Easy Button Phone calls, or other signal Industrial & large commercial operations Communication is typically one-way 6

7 Load Management Future Move from static ON-OFF type systems Same device provides Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Load management across all time periods Turn loads into load management resources 2-way communication Variability Flexibility Distributed intelligence Open protocols 7
