The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $6,827,637 Cooperative Agreement to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development Program (CFDA 81.087). The primary objective is to establish and complete the Collaborative Ancillary Service Accelerator for Renewables (CASAR) pilot program. This project will engage stakeholders to develop and execute a collaborative pilot program to understand the feasibility, viability, performance, and economics of providing ancillary services for the bulk power system using wind and solar inverter-based resources. The project aims to demonstrate the capability of these technologies to reliably provide a collection of bulk system ancillary services in a cost-effective manner, helping to build confidence among system operators. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
