DCFlex Deliverables

This report provides a summary of engine types for DC power generation, reviews RICE use for both primary power and emergency backup applications, and then details information gathered on RICE use for DCs from multiple engine vendors and a provider of engine units.

This dataset provides a sample of 159 retail tariffs for large loads from 71 electric utilities across the United States. The dataset focuses on flexible load offerings for large loads, including Interruptible, Demand Response, and Standby / Backup / Cogeneration rates and programs.

This Quick Insight provides a discussion and analysis of Texas Senate Bill 6 that enacts changes for large electric loads seeking interconnection to the ERCOT-operated Texas grid

This publicly-accessible white paper takes a first step toward developing a common understanding of flexibility between power providers, grid operators, and data center stakeholders

This report considers interconnection requirements regarding modeling, performance, ancillary services, and co-located generation. Of these requirements, the most well established for both the US and Europe are those focused on power quality. Both regions are also seeing focused requirements emerging for data centers and hydrogen electrolysis loads.

This report provides an initial perspective on strategies and data to help electric sector planners project regional data center load growth. This working paper is an internal DCFlex project deliverable. The intent is to improve strategies for forecasting over the three years of the project, leveraging the DCFlex community’s diverse knowledge and perspectives.

This brief summarizes key discussions from a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-hosted technical conference held November 1, 2024, to address the growing interest in co-locating large loads at generating facilities and the associated challenges including market integration.
