“Scoping Workshop: Identifying Research Gaps to Improve Predictability of Behind the Meter Resources — Grid Operator Perspectives” Workshop

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host an informational workshop in collaboration with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to discuss current tools being used by grid operators to predict the behavior of behind-the-meter (BtM) distributed energy resources (DERs) – such as solar photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage, electric vehicles, and load flexibility technologies – for informing grid operation. The workshop will discuss research needs in this area that could be supported by future grant funding opportunities under the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) research program.

The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the attendance instructions below. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted, and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.
