  abstract = {<p>Three example benefits analysis of smart grid demonstration projects are reported. Two US projects are both in Irvine, CA. Southern California Edison{\textquoteright}s Irvine Smart Grid Demonstration Project achieved excellent results for Volt-VAR control, but 9 demonstration zero net energy homes proved far from economic. A microgrid controller being developed for the UC Irvine campus promises valuable reliability benefits, and its combined heat and power plant delivers significant ongoing benefits. At the Tianjin Eco-city, multiple demonstrations have been effective technically, but fall short of economic viability.</p>},
