  abstract = {<p>The Demand Response as a System Reliability Resource project consists of six technical tasks:</p><p>Task 2.1: Test Plan and Conduct Tests: Contingency Reserves Demand Response (DR)Demonstration{\textemdash}a pioneering demonstration of how existing utility load management assets can provide an important electricity system reliability resource known as contingency reserve.</p><p>Task 2.2: Participation in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) IntelliGrid{\textemdash}technical assistance to the EPRI IntelliGrid team in developing use cases and other high-level requirements for the architecture.</p><p>Task 2.3: Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD\&amp;D) Planning for Demand Response Technology Development{\textemdash}technical support to the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program on five topics: Sub-task 1. PIER Smart Grid RD\&amp;D Planning Document; Sub-task 2. System Dynamics of Programmable Controllable Thermostats; Sub-task 3. California Independent System Operator (California ISO) DR Use Cases; Sub-task 4. California ISO Telemetry Requirements; and Sub-task 5. Design of a Building Load Data Storage Platform.</p><p>Task 2.4: Time Value of Demand Response{\textemdash}research that will enable California ISO to take better account of the speed of the resources that it deploys to ensure compliance with reliability rules for frequency control.</p><p>Task 2.5: System Integration and Market Research: Southern California Edison (SCE){\textemdash}research and technical support for efforts led by SCE to conduct demand response pilot demonstrations to provide a contingency reserve service (known as non-spinning reserve) through a targeted sub-population of aggregated residential and small commercial customers enrolled in SCE{\textquoteright}s traditional air conditioning (AC) load cycling program, the Summer Discount Plan.</p><p>Task 2.6: Demonstrate Demand Response Technologies: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG\&amp;E){\textemdash}research and technical support for efforts led by PG\&amp;E to conduct a demand response pilot demonstration to provide non-spinning reserve through a targeted sub-population of aggregated residential customers enrolled in PG\&amp;E{\textquoteright}s AC load curtailment program, the Smart AC{\texttrademark} Demand Response Program.</p>},
