The Changing Electricity Resource Mix: The Rise of Distributed Solar, Storage, and Demand Responsive

Spring 2015
Targeted Application of Distributed Energy Resources to Proactively and Reactively Mitigate Distribution Grid Stress
​
Was on a team in Spring 2015 at Stanford that modeled the impact of adding distributed energy resources (DER) to the distribution grid in Los Angeles and North Carolina to alleviate distribution congestion and maintain reliability under high renewable penetrations.

​1,000 sq. foot Zero Net Energy Home: Start.Home

January 2012 - October 2013
I had the opportunity to be a part of this amazing project of designing and building an affordable Zero Net Energy home for the 2013 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition.

After the competition, start.home is being able to house a family at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve.

To learn more about start.home and how we built it at Stanford University:
