Opportunity Title:
American-Made Data-Driven Distributed (3D) Solar Visibility Prize
Funder/Agency:
Department of Energy (DOE), Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO)
Description:
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) is designed to incentivize innovators to develop models and algorithms that can provide accurate and real-time information about distributed solar generation in electric power distribution networks. The prize seeks to promote awareness and adoption of distribution system state estimation (DSSE) algorithms and software tools to improve the visibility of distribution systems and their operating conditions. Having near real-time data on distribution systems allows grid planners and operators to make better operational decisions, optimize solar energy resources, and enhance the reliability and resilience of electric power distribution networks that have large amounts of solar generation.
DSSE tools will be tested and judged through the Open Energy Data Initiative for Solar Systems Integration (OEDI SI) platform, a SETO-funded, open-source, cloud-based web portal platform that provides a uniform public data repository for integrating the synthetic and field measurement data coming from multiple sources. The prize aims to accelerate the adoption of the OEDI SI platform among grid operators.
