UC San Diego is installing the world's 1st microgrid master controller and optimizer software suite under a $2M grant that will reschedule on an hourly basis the mix of self generation, grid imports, electric and thermal storage, and demand load as a Virtual Power Plant based upon real time signals from the market, prevailing economics, known efficiencies and predicted environmental emissions, a prototype of the future Smart Grid.
