Connected communities, consisting of buildings communicating with the electric power grid and shared community resources, such as a photovoltaic generation and/or storage systems, can flexibly control loads to maximize energy efficiency, minimize energy costs, increase energy resiliency and contribute to decarbonization, while providing services to the power grid. The first presentation in this seminar shows how behind-the-meter energy resources such as flexible loads can mitigate the variability of distributed renewable electricity generation. The second presents how the coordination of the power demand of end use devices in two smart neighborhoods optimizes energy consumption based on a utility signal.
