Abstract
Achieving significant carbon emissions reductions in the U.S. electricity sector will involve contributions from efficiency, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and distributed energy resources. The widespread, efficient and cost-effective deployment of these technologies requires new capabilities in the distribution system as well as integration with overall power system operation. Integration of these end-use technologies poses a significant challenge beyond the development and enhancement of the technologies themselves.

This project will conduct several regional demonstrations to integrate distributed power generation, storage, renewables and demand response technology into a demand-side "virtual power plant." Demonstrations will include both utility side and customer side technologies. The project will apply EPRI's IntelliGrid methodology to define requirements for the technologies themselves as well as the communication, information, and control infrastructures that support integration of the technologies. The main objective of the demonstrations will be to identify approaches for interoperability and integration that can be used on a system-wide scale to help standardize the use of demand-side resources as part of overall system operations and control.
