Scope: Federal

Overview This technology is a control algorithm that manages behind-the-meter energy storage and onsite generation to perform peak shaving and load shaping in electrical power systems.

Peak shaving reduces the highest points of electricity demand, while load shaping adjusts consumption and generation patterns over time to meet cost or operational goals.

The intended value is twofold: reduced energy costs and demand charges for facility operators, and reduced strain on utility infrastructure during high-demand periods.

The algorithm coordinates locally available battery storage and generation to draw on stored energy at the most advantageous times.

A distinguishing design objective is scalability.

Rather than being purpose-built for a single facility type, the same approach is intended to apply across residential, commercial, industrial, nanogrid, microgrid, and distribution-system contexts.

It is designed to be deployed either as software integrated into a utility energy management system or as firmware on a standalone microcontroller for smaller installations.

Industry Need Facility operators face rising electricity costs driven in part by demand charges tied to peak usage, while utilities face the cost and complexity of meeting concentrated demand peaks and managing grid congestion.

Many existing peak-shaving and load-shaping solutions are built for a specific facility type or grid context, which introduces scalability, interoperability, and flexibility constraints when the same capability is needed across different system sizes or configurations.

This can require redesign or separate tooling for each deployment.

In parallel, critical facilities such as hospitals and defense installations require dependable operation and improved energy security, including the ability to contin...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
