WINSmartGrid™
The UCLA WINSmartGrid™ is a
network platform technology that
allows electricity operated appliances
such as plug-in automobile, washer,
dryer, or, air conditioner to be
wirelessly monitored, connected and
controlled via a Smart Wireless hub.
Demand Response
Automated load control in smart
buildings, smart offices, smart homes,
smart appliances, renewable
integration and local storage.
Microgrid
Comm, sense and control for
integrating renewables, EVs and smart
loads

EV Integration to the Grid
California constitutes a significant
automotive market - a place where
demanding and energy-conscious
consumers come together with
creative designers from Hollywood,
resulting in an environment rich in
ideas on automotive innovation.
Cyber security of
Communications Infrastructure
Cyber security is being studied and
researched for EVSE infrastructure, HAN,
and applications in residential and
commercial DR.
Transactive Control
of Smart Grids
Price based high speed control of
smart loads, EVs, and storage.
