                                     EV, electrification, weather extreme and demand management
The Smart Grid Research Consortium (SGRC) is Back!
SGRC 2.0 provides members with individual utility service area SGRC models providing 2030 and 2035 utility, ZIP and neighborhood forecasts:
  • Electricity use and hourly kW loads
  • Future EV ownership and commuting hourly load impacts
  • Demand management program impacts
  • Electrification and price response impacts
  • Extreme weather extreme impacts
SGRC models use data from the 7+ million MAISY Residential Utility Customer Database in an AI machine-learning process to model actual utility customers in ZIPs and neighborhoods within each utility service area. An Excel workbook interface provides easy-to-use applications. ...

Consortium definition: "A consortium is an association of two or more organizations with the objective of participating in a common activity or pooling their resources for achieving a common goal." source: Wikipedia

The Smart Grid Research Consortium (SGRC) was established at Texas A&M University in 2008 to provide utilities with smart grid technology and program cost/benefit models to evaluate new untested technologies/programs for individual utilities. Models reflected unique utility system characteristics to provide utility-specific expected costs and benefit analysis. SGRC management transitioned from Texas A&M to Jackson Associates in 2011 when consortium developer and leader, Dr. Jerry Jackson left his Signature Professorship at A&M and accepted responsibility for meeting continuing needs of Consortium members through his consulting firm. By 2018 field experience with most smart grid technologies and programs provided utility decision-makers with sufficient results to move beyond a model-based decision process.

SGRC 2.0 has been re-energized in 2025 to address new electric utility uncertainty challenges that are now more focused on substation, distribution and even tranformer grid threats posed by:
  • increased EV ownership and charging profiles
  • increasing electrification, and
  • weather extremes
Assessing these challenges requires knowlege of baseline ZIP and neighborhood whole building utility customer loads and of future EV charging loads, electrification and extreme weather impacts. New SGRC models provide member utilities with the ability to identify these challenges and to explore demand management, pricing and grid upgrade strategies to avoid threats to grid stability.
