This demonstration aims to show the potential value of using mechanical hardware sensor technology and cloud-based software for storm reponse applications.

IInnovationForce's SaaS is being integrated with Central Hudson's Microsoft Teams environment to create key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be measured and visualized in real-time dashboards. The platform includes creating a content management system to take the learnings out of emails to be shared within a SharePoint based use case library. These learnings may be prioritized based on their perceived impact on meeting Fortis Inc.'s quantitative strategic objectives, such as driving growth.

Locusview will provide a mobile app and hardware (tablet, barcode scanner, GPS) to Southern Company field crews for scanning smart tags on underground cables and splice kits during a 16-week construction project.  The app will generate a digital as-built with attribute data using the smart tags. Locusview will collaborate with Southern Company and two manufacturers to implement smart tags and digital as-built tech.

MeterLeader is working with Ameren to engage Ameren's employees in an energy and carbon reduction challenge. Like a fitness app, MeterLeader allows an organization, city or community to engage with its constituents, employees, and occupants to become "champions" of energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. Participants can visualize their energy use and carbon footprint, which may incentivize them to reduce both. Over the course of 18 weeks, MeterLeader will deploy its mobile app platform for employees at Ameren Illinois & Ameren Missouri. 

MicroEra Power is working with NYPA, conEdison, and EPRI to evaluate a  thermal energy storage (TES) system to help manage commercial building energy use and improve customer This technology utilizes utilizes a tunable phase-change material (PCM) that can provide hot and cold thermal storage in addition to the traditional peak load management offered by thermal storage. The project will evaluate MicroEra Power's thermal storage technology in a controlled laboratory environment. EPRI will assess the technology's energy storage capacity, energy efficiency, and load-shifting capabilities at MicroEra's facility in Rochester, NY.

New Sun Road is working with EPRI to demonstrate their Stellar Microgrid OS cloud controller and Stellar Edge on-site controller as a microgrid control and local DER  Management System (L-DERMS) solution for microgrids during grid-connected operation project. The project will utilize EPRI's SPIDER (Simulation Platform for Integration of DER) testbed to assess optimized energy generation in a simulated, grid-connected microgrid to minimize emissions, fuel and energy costs potentially.

NYPA is testing a novel battery (50kW/250 kWh lithium-ion) design & system architecture to validate the battery's efficacy in limiting the propagation of thermal runaway. 

Rainforest is working on two separate demonstrations involving Ameren and SCE.  Ameren's pilot project seeks to demonstrate the potential practicality f using existing AMI meter data to identify and track EV charging sessions. SCE's pilot will deploy an actively managed EV charging solution to qualifed SCE customers. Rainforest will simultaneously develop an interface between their system and the TeMix platform that will allow users of the Rainforest system to participate in the SCE Dynamic Rate Pilot as a follow-on to the initial project.

Rhythmos is working with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) to compile weekly static AMI data to detect new EV charging loads coming onto the system. Rhythmos will analyze the potential implications of EV charging under unmanaged, Time-of-Use, and Rhythmos managed charging approaches. This analysis will use rate and wholesale energy information provided by KUB & TVA to characterize the differences in energy cost to serve, avoided transformer upgrades, and EV driver cost savings, among other factors.

Solid State Power is working with EPRI and a group of seven utilities to demonstrate a new solid-state transformer (SST) for medium voltage applications intended as a potential replacement for conventional pole top installations. The project will entail laboratory testing at EPRI's Lenox, MA test facility of the SST design to understand its capabilities as a distribution transformer and voltage regulation device. The testing results may help evaluate the next generation of this SST and potential demonstration or pilot projects on utility distribution systems. 

Square Robot is working with TVA to perform four in-service robotic tank inspections (one firewater tank & three fuel tanks). The demonstration is intended to showcase Square Robot's robot inspection technology, including coverage, data acquisition, high-resolution videos, soil and product side corrosion, coating information, and tank settlement mapping. These in-service inspections may help energy providers prevent the release of emissions and potentially avoid high costs and downtime.

Singularity was selected by Southern California Edison (SCE) to demonstrate its Carbon Flow technology for highly granular carbon intensity mapping, for its potential applications in dynamic rates & load flexibility.

Uptime Analytics is working with Ameren to utilize Uptime Analytics' Analytical Twin (AT), a cloud solution that may optimize the operation of an industrial system by examining operational, energy, maintenance, and condition variables.  This offline demonstration has the potential to improve the reliability and availability of four high-pressure boiler feed pumps; Predict failure modes using predictive & prescriptive AI models; Improve data-driven operational decision making.

VectorZero is working with EPRI's cyber security test lab to demonstrate VectorZero's cloud-native Active Data Vault™ (ADV) technology for cybersecurity and data governance applications. EPRI will test ADV to validate applications, programs, and other tools commonly used by utilities to ingest, analyze and communicate data.

The company will demonstrate its predictive energy modeling software to deliver building and data science insights for selected homes in a location in Ameren's service territory. The project seeks to investigate homeowner participation in utility residential energy upgrade programs to understand if XeroHome's automated process produces reliable results compared to the bespoke, traditional energy audit process requiring a professional home assessor.
