The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $225,000 project grant to Ecco International Inc. to support work under the Grid Optimization (GO) Competition Challenge 3. The goal of the award is to enhance industry-standard tools for alternating current optimal unit commitment through Ecco International's "LLGOMAX: Enhancing Industry-Standard Tools for AC Optimal Unit Commitment" project.
Specifically, Ecco International will partner with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to improve existing software for scheduling generation resources on the electric grid in a way that minimizes costs while satisfying operational constraints. By enhancing tools used across the energy sector, the project aims to support the optimization of grid operations and facilitate the integration of renewable resources. The work will be performed in San Francisco, California from October 2022 through October 2023.
