Large HVAC systems are often overlooked as a large energy consumer
Lights use only 20% of US electric energy compared to 60 to 70% motors use.
UCR New Grid Research Goals
• Integrate utility scale renewable energy, energy storage,
and EV charging
• Demonstrate the functionality of Smart Grid protocols
• Provide EV charging demand without increased grid loads
• Provide real world Smart Grid test-bed platform
• Evaluate efficiency of energy storage
• Evaluate power quality issues
• Demonstrate battery electric bus transit operating in the
Riverside community
