Learn how MMWEC is Taking a Multi-Device Approach to Mitigating Peak Energy Demand
In 2020, the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) launched Connected Homes, a customer program available through participating municipal light plants (MLPS). The program is designed to enhance grid resiliency through aggregate device control, providing an equitable path to energy decarbonization.
Connected Homes is an aggregate conservation program that leverages distributed energy resources (DERs), which currently includes thermostats, water heaters, batteries, mini-splits, and EVSE chargers & EV telematics.
The challenge: how to create a program that supports multiple device types
The solution: utilize two of Virtual Peaker's platform to integrate thermostats, water heaters, batteries, mini-splits, and EVSE chargers & EV telematics
The results: high rate of forecasting correct peak event times, and participants’ high event opt-in percentages
