Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Bil) Expanding Distribution System Visibility and the Ability to Dispatch Distributed Energy Resources the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (Ladwp) Proposes to Use the Department of Energy (DOE) Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (Grip) Program Funding to Launch the Community Grid Innovation Program (Cgip), Which Will Provide Ladwp System Benefits by Allowing for Greater Control at the Grid Operations Level and Enhance Visibility of the Distribution System. Cgip Consists of Two Primary Components: 1) a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (Derms), and 2) the Expansion of Ladwp Programs to Develop Distributed Energy Resources (Ders) That Are Integrated with the Derms. These Two Systems Working in Conjunction Will Give Ladwp Grid Operators Enhanced Ability to Dynamically Respond to Grid Fluctuations by Precisely Dispatching More Than 150 Megawatts of Ders Resulting in Improved Grid Flexibility, Reliability and Resilience.
