Collaborations among utilities, government, technology providers, and universities are made being to provide information and technologies for the new generation of Smart Grid and Smart Energy Technology. SMERC also receives funding from California Energy Commission, EPRI, KIER, and the UCLA Smart Grid Industry Partners Program(SMERC-IPP). [12]
EPRI, is an American independent, nonprofit organization that conducts research and development related to the generation, delivery, and use of electricity to help address challenges in the energy industry, including reliability, efficiency, affordability, health, safety, and the environment.
The smart grid is an enhancement of the 20th century electrical grid, using two-way communications and distributed so-called intelligent devices. [1] Two-way flows of electricity and information could improve the delivery network.

Demand-side management was introduced publicly by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the 1980s. [8] Nowadays, DSM technologies become increasingly feasible due to the integration of information and communications technology and the power system, new terms such as integrated demand-side management (IDSM), or smart grid.

Title XIII of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Pub.L. 110–140) [12] is the only major piece of federal legislation that addresses the modernization of the United States’ electric utility transmission and distribution system by upgrading to the Smart Grid.
Support for the smart grid in the United States became federal policy with passage of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. [1] The law set out $100 million in funding per fiscal year from 2008 to 2012, established a matching program to states, utilities and consumers to build smart grid capabilities, and created a Grid Modernization Commission to assess the benefits of demand ...
When prospecting such locations, the grid connection point must also be analyzed. Adding new generation to a grid typically requires an infrastructure buildup that can potentially cost millions of dollars. [3] In some circumstances a phenomenon, known as concurrent cooling, can be utilized to mitigate the expenses.
