Goals and Objectives of the Agreement Sample Clauses

Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: • Implement and operate a DER Community to lower cost and increase community resilience 5 • Demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of all-electric home technology packages in the retrofit and construction of affordable homes • Scale deployment of best-in-class AEC technical & finance strategies in DACs and throughout California Ratepayer Benefits:6 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits greater reliability, lower costs and increased safety. Reliability will be improved by (1) enabling a DER aggregation to balance local generation, storage, building loads, and grid-integrated EVs mitigate the evening ramp period; (2) deploying grid-tied devices into residences and businesses to expand the DER aggregation, and (3) through ZNCR whole-house retrofit strategies7 and building electrification, reducing peak demand permanently. Lower costs will be achieved through (1) energy efficiency savings; (2) properly constructed, commissioned and maintained energy systems, (3) grid services and price arbitrage (to be conducted by the project team); (4) avoiding costly transmission and distribution upgrades. Increased safety is achieved by means of: (1) reducing the dangers of gas leak and explosions by endeavoring to replace natural gas appliances in residences; (2) decreasing the likelihood that contractors install devices in an unsafe manner (both to themselves and others).

By acting in accordance with this agreement, we aim to: • To support community partners and help meet the need to recruit volunteers for their organisation which in turn supports the local community. • To ensure the Bucks Students’ Union Activities Coordinator (Volunteering & Charity Fundraising) follows procedure to recruit student volunteers for opportunities. • To ensure student volunteers are prepared and understand the expectations of the organisation in which they have applied and understand the commitment required for the duration of the project. • To ensure all Bucks student volunteers receive a high quality experience whilst volunteering, helping them develop as a person, prepare for life after university and better their overall student experience.
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: • Build a coating tool for the fabrication of organic photovoltaic modules capable of handling commercially fabricated window glass. • Utilize coating tool to fabricate films with high aesthetic quality suitable for commercial window applications. • Build necessary equipment to complete a large area coating line. • Build and install a demonstration wall utilizing modules fabricated on large area coating line. • Build and test a module with commercially relevant techniques at commercially relevant sizes. Ratepayer Benefits:2 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety by accelerating the commercialization of energy generating windows. Greater reliability will be achieved by enabling net zero energy building by providing onsite energy generation to buildings. This will allow ratepayers to have reliable energy in self-sustaining buildings even during rolling blackouts and will reduce demand on California’s energy grid. This approach also allows for lower cost through much lower module and balance of system costs, compared to other photovoltaic technologies, by utilizing substantial costs that are already being paid for in conventional windows by building owners. This significant innovation will have a profound impact on EPIC goals to lower cost; a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $0.03/kWh by 2030. This technological advancement will produce a product that increases safety of California ratepayers by significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Commercial buildings are one of the largest contributors of GHG emissions in California and in the world. The technology will address the missing ingredient for zero- and negative emission generation buildings for clean onsite energy generation. Technological Advancement and Breakthroughs:3 This Agreement will lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers to the achievement of the State of California’s statutory energy goals by rapid innovation of low-cost energy generating windows. This breakthrough technology converts infrared light into electricity allowing windows to look and function as high performance Low-Emissivity windows, while also generating significant clean energy. The accomplishments of this project will remove some last barriers between current benchtop scale and pilot scale, critical progress towards pilot production and will be a leap...
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. The goals of this Agreement are to: • Characterize the degradation rate of second-life batteries over their lifetime through lab- scale accelerated cycling tests. • Perform pilot test of technology improvements and operational strategies that optimize the performance, cost, and lifetime of second-life batteries. • Validate the ability of second-life batteries integrated with solar PV to provide resiliency benefits, electricity xxxx savings, and increased solar self-consumption for a small to medium-sized commercial building. • Provide a cost comparison of second life EV batteries to equivalent first use lithium-ion batteries for energy storage.
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. 34 Agreement Goals 35 The goals of this Agreement are to: 36 • Support California’s goal of 100% zero-carbon generation by 2045. 37 • Design and develop a cost-effective 2 MWh, 10-hour long-duration energy storage 38 technology and demonstrate its value for 12 months of operation.

Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: • Build a forest biomass power plant that will consume up to 50,000 BDT/yr of dead trees with a design rating of 5 MWnet. • Demonstrate low NOx, CO, and VOC emissions performance • Demonstrate low water consumption Ratepayer Benefits:4 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of greater electricity reliability and increased safety (reduced wildfire threat) by reducing the population of dead trees. The dead trees will be used as fuel for the biomass plant and converted to electricity that will be available for grid export (up to 5 MW – 3 MW under BioMAT plus 2 additional MW through other channels).
Goals and Objectives of the Agreement. Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: • Create a replicable blue print for local governments to achieve ZNE in 50% of existing buildings by 2025; • Demonstrate the technical capacity of IDSM technologies to deliver ZNE in existing non- residential, municipal buildings; • Demonstrate the value proposition of IDSM technologies, including pre-commercial efficiency technologies, to deliver ZNE in existing commercial buildings; • Demonstrate the value proposition of revenue models made possible through IDSM and DR, specific to small commercial buildings, in municipal and private sectors; • Engage visitors and surrounding communities with education and outreach to library patrons on the direct energy savings of IDSM and DR technology.
