Development of a User Portal for Source and Load Management

FY 2025-26 · 2025-05-05

Summary
This project develops a portal for owners of energy resources, such as solar, electric vehicles, and batteries, to participate in initiatives to support the electricity grid in return for financial incentives. An example is during peak times, when the grid is experiencing high demand and resorts to using expensive fossil-fuel based "peaking generators", this portal would allow for thousands of energy resources to offset that demand. Specifically, this user portal will allow the owners of the energy resources to set preferences for the energy use (leaving enough charge on the electric vehicle or battery), and receive incentives for their participation.

Description
This project develops a portal for owners of energy resources, such as solar, electric vehicles, and batteries, to participate in initiatives to support the electricity grid in return for financial incentives. An example is during peak times, when the grid is experiencing high demand and resorts to using expensive fossil-fuel based "peaking generators", this portal would allow for thousands of energy resources to offset that demand. Specifically, this user portal will allow the owners of the energy resources to set preferences for the energy use (leaving enough charge on the electric vehicle or battery), and receive incentives for their participation.
Description (French)
Ce projet consiste à développer un portail destiné aux propriétaires de ressources énergétiques, telles que l’énergie solaire, les véhicules électriques et les batteries, afin qu’ils puissent participer à des initiatives visant à soutenir le réseau électrique en échange d’incitations financières. Par exemple, pendant les périodes de pointe, lorsque le réseau est soumis à une forte demande et doit recourir à des générateurs de pointe coûteux fonctionnant aux combustibles fossiles, ce portail permettrait à des milliers de ressources énergétiques de compenser cette demande. Plus précisément, ce portail utilisateur permettra aux propriétaires de ressources énergétiques de définir leurs préférences en matière d’utilisation de l’énergie (en laissant suffisamment de charge sur le véhicule électrique ou la batterie) et de recevoir des incitations pour leur participation.
