Competitions

1.  SunShot Incubator Program             
Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000923, CFDA Number 81.087
SunShot Initiative Funding Application.     Tier 1S    March 13, 2014   
Budget: Amount requested = $500,000 
BSI submitted:  PV Systems with Energy Storage Devices (ESD)
Abstract:  Building Science Innovators will create, user-test, and introduce to the market, software which will enable utility companies, regulators, building owner/investors, architects and builders, photovoltaic system installers, energy consultants, and others to understand and quantify the benefits of combining photovoltaic generation of electricity with energy storage devices and integrating such installations to the grid, and will make it more likely that they will actually build and integrate such systems, realize the cost savings they offer, and share the benefits.
       Building Science Innovators' grant application got to the Final Stage, making a presentation at DOE in Washington, DC, but unfortunately did not receive funding for this project.  BSI's approach was a pioneer in PV economics for 2014 that has now became the industry standard.

2.   BSI competed in the #BrightMindsChallenge of January 2017.   The goal of that competition was to substantially move the world's economies to 100% renewable energy. BSI submitted CLEP, an innovative concept for utility pricing that was aimed at developing a 21st century power resources solution, including developing distributed energy generation, and solving the peak power problem, with constructive use of the wind power generated at night.  The winner would have received $500,000 in “in-kind” labor to help develop the prototype of the submission.  CLEP was one of the semi-finalists but did not become a finalist.  CLEP is one of a class of new ways to do Integrated Resource Planning: CLEP uses Market Based Acquisition.
