| STRIVES part 2 | Our company is focusing on deployment of DERS to charge electric vehicles, and also using the vehicles to power the grid.
We also have expertise in distributed/parallel simulation, and intend to participate in building a common platform for that using digital twinning of local pieces of the grid and stitching those into a complete simulation of the grid. The platform will allow prediction of the grid's behavior. |

| Topic Area 1: Robust Experimentation and Advanced Learning for Distribution Systems Operators | We develop grid management and analytics software to optimize the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into distribution networks.
We enable dynamic, real-time control of DERs by calculating and implementing flexible export limits and load curtailments based on current grid conditions.
Our platform calculates hosting capacity and identifies network constraints, such as overloaded transformers, voltage issues, high impedance faults, and phase imbalances.
We are seeking partnerships with distribution utilities, researchers, community organizations, and industry stakeholders to collaborate on Distributed System Operator (DSO) projects that advance grid modernization and DER integration. |

| Topic Area 1 | We build software to enable residential battery VPPs, including controlling and monitoring of devices, as well as managing relationships with device owners. We could be a "non-traditional stakeholder" partner, providing access to battery devices to participate in the demonstration project. Alternatively we could make our software available for direct device control and monitoring, at the individual level or in aggregation. |

General
| | Pecan Street Inc is a research and development organization focused on advancing data-driven solutions for energy and resource management. It operates a real-world testbed for residential energy data collection and technology testing, capturing detailed information on real power, apparent power, current THD, voltage-current phase angle, and current RMS at a second-level interval with circuit-level granularity. Data is collected in Texas, New York State, California, Colorado, Delaware, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Georgia, Michigan, and Puerto Rico. Ground truth data is collected near real time, at a rate of 14-18 Billion records daily, with a rich historical data set.
Previous field trial technologies have included fixed energy storage systems, smart inverters, V1G and V2G controlled charging/energy dispatch. The team excels in developing hierarchical and local controllers, adeptly handling the necessary trade-offs in communications and control system architecture and development decisions. |

| 1 - Robust Experimentation and Advanced Learning for DSOs | The Consulting and Analytical Services division of S&C has extensive modeling and data analysis experience. This includes everything from arc flash studies in individual facilities up to power flow and stability studies at the distribution and transmission scale. The S&C team would work on the improved system models and we are interested in partnering with a utility to identify an appropriate grid region for the demonstration. |

| Smart Inverter and Battery Testing and Controls | I have a Power HIL (P-HIL) testing lab with two 5 kW PV simulators and residential inverters and batteries. A grid simulator can provide a wide range of unstable or non-standard grid conditions to test the inverter response inlcuding default or custom Volt-VAr, Freq-Watt, PF, or ride through controls. We have collaborated with a utility in a previous DOE project where they established communication via internet and API so they could test inverter controls and data acquisition. We have published several papers with several under review covering impact of line impedance on Volt-VAR, Freq-Watt controls and also cyber attack detection. We are currently looking into battery dispatch algorithms to maximize economics or grid support. We have a strong interest in collaborating with utilities or other partners for this FOA. WE can provide P-HIL testing using inverters and battery, simulation, and analysis. I have worked with utilities and small and medium businesses at the grid edge. I am also Chair of the Grid Modernization working group for DE Governor's Energy Council so am very familiar with utility concerns of DER hosting capacity, grid reliability, coordinated vs local control. |
