This includes EnerNex partners North Carolina State University History
EnerNex was notified of the award by the office of Senator Bob Corker Robert Phillips "Bob" Corker, Jr. (born August 24, 1952) is the junior United States Senator from Tennessee. He was formerly the mayor of Chattanooga, Tennessee and a successful businessman. He is the only freshman Republican Senator in the 110th Congress. (R-Tenn.), who serves on the Senate committee and subcommittees on energy and small business and entrepreneurship. EnerNex was one of two companies to receive awards in the topic area of electric transmission and distribution technologies. The grant will continue supporting the creation of a software product that will enable load modeling and prediction tools for the improved resolution of customer loads; accurate sensitivity assessments of the impact of weather conditions, new technologies, demand response programs and load curtailment Curtailment The act of contracting or reducing operations of a company in the hope of bringing it financial or operational stability. This management technique is often used when a company has grown too fast and is unable to effectively manage its operations. practices; and advanced algorithms and decision logics for the large data set analysis. The software will maximize use of current system capacity and meet contingency planning and response requirements. EnerNex will use the research of NCSU Professor, Mesut Baran, to produce better methods of load modeling from statistical data, with branch current state estimation and bad data identification. Using the load estimation toolbox See toolkit and toolbar. , industry researchers can develop new modules as add-ons to the industry-leading data historian software, the OSIsoft PI System, for electric utilities. "We are pleased to continue our work with DOE. This demonstrates further advancements in our technology and ability to develop tools that will continue to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the electric system," said Jeff Lamoree, EnerNex President and Chief Executive Officer. "As our nation continues to address concerns about the reliability of the electric power system, our developments will play an important role in the progress of flexible, customizable solutions to better understand the operation of electric power distribution systems." The project will be led by EnerNex employee, Tom McDermott
