Abstract

Alfalfa-based testbeds enable building equipment, control products, and workforce development tools to interact with dynamic building simulations representing the desired building, system, weather, and grid configuration. Alfalfa is used to de-risk implementation of load flexibility prior to field deployment, reducing the costs and timelines associated with adoption of decarbonization technology at the grid edge.
