The goal of this project is to develop a variable-speed heat pump controller to maximize comfort, minimize operating costs, and provide demand response capabilities. The controller will make machine learning-assisted decisions by monitoring the indoor and outdoor climate conditions, time-of-use billing, forecasted weather, solar photovoltaic production and consumption, thermal and battery storage charge levels, and grid demands.
16. Sea Dragon Energy, Inc. Lynx mPower, Stefan Sillen, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop an energy management system for homeowners to monitor and control circuits using their existing circuit breaker panel. The innovation is designed to be agnostic to the make of panel and breaker type as well as to other components in the customer's energy system and is easily installed by snapping it into an empty slot of the existing panel. The software provides real-time consumption data, generation data, and battery charge status, and it allows the user to better control their energy during a black-out.
17. C-Crete Technologies, LLC. Next-Generation Cementitious Materials from Non-Carbonate Rocks, Rouzbeh Savary, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop a process that turns naturally occurring, abundant rocks such as zeolite to cementitious binders with significant energy savings, affordability, flexibility, and emissions reductions while maintaining similar comfort level and performance for end users. The carbon neutrality comes from two key innovations: use of rocks whose processing would not produce carbon dioxide, and room-temperature manufacturing via industrially scaled impact milling.
18. Calion Technologies, Inc. Ionocaloric Heat Pumping, Drew Lilley, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop a zero global warming potential carbon-negative heat pump using ionocaloric heat pumping technology that will provide a drop-in replacement for vapor compression technologies. Because the ionocaloric technology uses the solid/liquid transition instead of the liquid/vapor transition there is never any vapor produced during the heat pumping process.
19. Carbon Blade Corporation, Carbon Blade: Renewable Energy, Self-Powered, Distributed Direct Air Carbon Capture System, Josh Franklin, $150,000. The goal of this project is to build a self-powered, distributed direct-air-capture system that reduces carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Compared to most engineered direct-air-capture systems that require large fans to move substantial volumes of air over the absorption surface, Carbon Blade uses a leaf-like blade design that uses natural wind conditions to move air over the contactor.
20. EnergizedAI, Inc. Applied AI for EV Charger Reliability, Adam Mandel, $150,000. The goal of this project is to increase electric vehicle fast charger uptime through the development of a predictive maintenance algorithm, allowing service to occur before failure. This algorithm accounts for multiple data points from each fast charger and local environmental information to derive a charger health score with continuously improving accuracy as feedback from each prediction is incorporated into the analysis.
21. Furno Materials, Inc. Hydrogen-Fueled and Nimble with Recycled Fines: Modular Cement Plants for the 21st Century, Gurinder Nagra, $150,000. The goal of this project is to produce carbon-neutral Portland cement using hydrogen fuel and recycled concrete fines. The novel reactor design and combustion technology increase the available surface area for heat transfer 1,000 times more than traditional cement kiln technology while increasing thermal efficiency from 50 percent to 90 percent.
22. Mirai Solar Corp. Smart Algorithm for Greenhouse Energy and Food Production, Michael Salvador, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop, implement, and test a self-learning control logic for enhancing the energy use efficiency of greenhouses through the automation of retractable photovoltaic shade screens. This smart algorithm will optimize both the crop growth and electricity output of the greenhouse by choosing when to let the sun fall on the plants or photovoltaic shades.
23. Scalvy, Inc. Fully Modular Drive System for Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Mohamed Badawy, $150,000. The goal of this project is to design and demonstrate a modular drivetrain system for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The drivetrain system will be composed of self-controlled drivetrain building blocks operating to drive the traction motor, charge the battery packs, supply the electronic loads, and perform the battery management system functionalities.
24. Solar Ice, LLC. Solar Thermal Absorption Cooling for a Warming World, Steven Goldstein, $150,000. The goal of this project is to build a prototype of a solar thermal-powered air conditioning and hot water heating system using high efficiency solar collectors, modern absorption chillers, and phase change material. By using the sun’s heat as well as waste heat to power the process, this technology will offer a cooling option that uses less energy and produces less noise and vibration.
25. Sunchem, LLC. Nano Filters for the Precision Separation of Critical Metals, Dana Hernandez, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop and scale up a low-cost nano-filtration device that can continuously capture critical metals used for the clean energy transition from complex water mixtures. The technology is made up of a highly porous sponge-like metal-organic framework and polymer building blocks. A significant advantage of this technology over conventional activated carbon-based systems is the capacity to operate with lower-grade streams that contain large amounts of interferents without being an energy-intensive system.
26. ThermoShade Solutions, Inc. ThermoShade, Emily Dinino, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop a passive cooling panel that can be installed above outdoor spaces, creating a shady space that feels up to 20°F cooler without requiring electricity or water. The technology integrates ultra-reflective coatings that reflect greater than 90 percent of the sun’s energy, and phase change materials that release stored cool thermal energy during the daytime heat and recharge at night when temperatures drop.

• Westwood Aerogel Co. Advanced Manufacturing for Aerogel Technologies, Patricia McNeil, $150,000. The goal of the project is to incorporate aerogel technology into energy efficient window designs and provide a retrofit solution for single-pane windows. Ambiently dried aerogel technology will be applied through an optically clear adhesive onto a pane of window that is transparent, has extremely low thermal conductivities, and unlike existing technologies can be mass produced in a continuous line process. This new material could quickly and economically enhance window insulation by up to 60 percent.

Thank you,
 

The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Load Management Standards (LMS) include numerous compliance deadlines, measured from April 1, 2023, the effective date of the regulations. Some of these compliance dates, e.g., the first one on July 1, 2023 (see 20 C.C.R. sections 1623(b) and 1623.1(c)), fall on a weekend, holiday, or other day where the CEC offices are otherwise closed.

According to CEC regulations regarding the computation of time, the timeframe to complete regulatory actions should be “computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, holiday or other day when the commission offices are closed, in which case that day is also excluded.” (20 C.C.R. section 1003.)

Consistent with the intent of this regulation, where an LMS compliance date falls on a weekend, holiday, or other day when the CEC offices are closed, regulated parties may comply with the regulatory requirement on the next business day.
