The Distributed Energy Resources Integration Toolkit compiles various EPRI tools used to apply open communication protocols to demand response and distributed energy resources. It is intended to help support development and testability of open protocols. This report summarizes the tools in the toolkit.
EPRI’s Distributed Energy Resources Simulator emulates smart solar inverters or energy storage systems with communications capabilities and can be used to evaluate the performance of communications protocols in control systems. This report summarizes this tool and its features.
This study examined the relationship between air pollution and acute health effects in five U.S. cities.
This report examines aspects of management of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data in the electric power industry, including practices, system architecture, applications, data characteristics, and data policies. It draws on input from utility personnel that work with AMI data.
This report evaluates one potential consequence of flexible operations at nuclear plants: the increased transport of iron corrosion products to the secondary side of pressurized water reactor steam generators. Researchers reviewed EPRI’s Chemistry Monitoring and Assessment Database for instances of steady power operation following a power transient and evaluated the feedwater iron concentration data in several hundred cases.
This report synthesizes international and domestic standards, best practices, and other industry guidance to establish a risk-informed cyber security program strategy for nuclear power plants. It is split into three sections: develop the plan, implement the plan, and monitor the plan.
This report describes recent advanced natural gas turbine combined-cycle design and construction features and compares them with those of the previous generation F-Class combined cycle.
This report examines how dry sorbent injection and activated carbon injection have been implemented to reduce emissions of mercury and other pollutants regulated under the federal Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).
This report discusses recent announcements and activities related to offshore wind power projects in the United States.
In this study, EPRI tested underground distribution network structures equipped with two different frames and a new cover designed to mitigate damage from fires, smoking, and explosions in manhole or vaults.
To lower costs and boost competitiveness, nuclear plant owners and operators may decide to modernize their facilities by applying process improvements and digital technologies. This white paper describes a framework for assessing the economic value of modernizing the nuclear fleet in the United States, demonstrating how this value depends on future markets, policies, and plant-specific conditions. It provides initial estimates for the value of modernization.
EPRI tested a building integrated photovoltaics roof shingle technology at the Solar Technology Acceleration Center. Data analysis yielded insights on power output, factors influencing performance, heat transfer into and out of buildings, impacts on residential loads, and more.
