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.

Cyber security of Communications Infrastructure Cyber security is being studied and researched for EVSE infrastructure, HAN, and applications in residential and commercial DR.

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.

Demand Response Automated load control in smart buildings, smart offices, smart homes, smart appliances, renewable integration and local storage.

Transactive Control of Smart Grids Price based high speed control of smart loads, EVs, and storage.
