Dynamic Building Load Control to Facilitate High Penetration of Solar Photovoltaic Generation

This project aims to develop, demonstrate, and validate a sensing and control mechanism for using power loads to address variable photovoltaic generation, which will reduce two-way power flow and mitigate voltage instability on distribution level circuits. The availability of this technology will enable increased penetration of renewables while weakening the challenges that arise due to their intermittency in generation by using flexibility on load side.
