The rapid penetration of renewable energies and growing peak electricity demand on constrained transmission and distribution infrastructure are stressing the grid for balancing and requiring increased load flexibility. Because buildings are the primary consumers of electricity in U.S., they are an ideal source of cost-effective demand flexibility, which can provide a variety of grid services: load shape, shift, shed and shimmy. This session provides introduction and demonstration projects associated with the Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings initiative which focuses on making building equipment more intelligent and grid-responsive in addition to improving the energy efficiency of the overall building.
