The CITRIS-LBNL-CIEE iEnergy Center focuses on the development of information technology (IT) systems (hardware & software) that can facilitate significant energy and cost savings in four separate but interacting domains -- (1) facility loads that include clean local generation and storage; (2) a fully instrumented transmission (high-voltage) system that supports diverse supply, intermittent supply, and demand variations; (3) an automated distribution (medium-voltage) grid that automatically supports clean distributed energy resources (DER) and includes micro-grids and underground cable networks; (4) instrumented and controllable commercial and residential buildings
