California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE)

The Enabling Technologies Development Grant Program addressed 3-5 year and 5-8 year energy-related research objectives.  The specific public interest goals were to develop enabling technologies that can 

-Improve the reliability/quality of California’s electricity by reducing service interruptions through expanded service options and new system-wide capabilities.

-Maximize market connection by reducing the installed cost of energy-related information, communication, and control technologies.

-Improve the energy cost/value of California’s electricity by providing real-time information and a means to automatically respond to supply-side problems.

The University of California, California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE) managed the program and was responsible for proposal solicitations, pre-proposal screening, organizing proposal technical reviews, and presenting selected proposals to the Energy Commission for approval.  CIEE was also responsible for awarding the grants, monitoring the grant awardees for compliance with grant terms, and providing all necessary technical and administrative support.  

This final report is the ultimate collection of all projects, for the purpose of disseminating the results of research projects conducted by the grant awardees.  22 final reports from research projects that were completed from 2002-2015 are presented in this final report.
