This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $197,828 awarded to Arizona State University on September 1, 2022 will fund research into causal theory of residential electricity consumption and production through August 31, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Engineering Directorate 47.041 CFDA program.
The project aims to enhance resident interactions with smart energy systems and empower all to benefit from new opportunities in smart electric grids. Through causal learning and analysis of consumer participation, the research will discover and account for critical human factors influencing distributed energy resources located at residences. Outcomes include socially-aware design and operation of smart grid resources to provide financial and energy resilience benefits to residents. Understanding behavior causality will enable more effective customer programs, electricity market design, and utilization of all distributed energy resources. The research pursues innovative artificial intelligence methods for causal analysis of resident behavior toward emerging smart energy systems.
