Introduction

In coordination with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the OMF has integrated a linear programming model that stacks the benefits of direct load control across different revenue streams, by considering deferment strategies, regulation pricing, and other payment structures. Read more about our work with direct load control and the required inputs here.
