Smart grid has many different definitions; however, at its core will be the two way communication of information, including pricing, so that customers and utilities will be able to make informed decisions on energy use and production. First, a case study in Texas is described, including results, with an automatic control system that has been operating a building with ice storage on real-time pricing for the past 4 years. The second presentation details how grid-connected and integrated electric storage space heaters and water heaters, utilizing smart controls, can factor in real-time supply/demand imbalance and other critical needs of the grid.
