Peregrine Power is a company that received a SBIR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Universal Utility/Customer Interface. Their research project will lead to an electrical panel with modules that provide interfaces between the electrical grid and the residential customer's on-site loads and other energy systems. Through the use of interactive solid state meters, the utility will be able to intelligently regulate loads and dispatch on-site energy systems. The on-site energy systems include, but are not limited to, controlled loads (e.g., water heating), pluggable EVs, generation systems (e.g., PV panels), and energy storage (e.g., spent EV batteries). The panel and modules represent the most integrated and economic system attempted so far to enable more intelligent energy management and will encourage renewable energy and conservation. In addition, new grid stabilization opportunities will be created for the utility. The proposed approach will use advanced power electronics, along with state-of-the-art communications techniques. The broader impacts of this research are (1) to enable utilities and over 50,000,000 residential customers to implement safe, convenient and economic energy management techniques, (2) to encourage renewable energy, and (3) to provide distributed generation and storage systems that assist the utility in stabilizing the grid. This would lead to more reliable and less costly energy for the customer, along with reduced greenhouse gas.

Effortless Aquaponics LLC is a business entity created to manufacture and distribute unique natural filter systems that use common plants such as basil, lettuce, or flowers to clean the water in home or office aquariums. A line of innovative planters, accessories, and residual products will be available to customers initially in U.S. markets and then available worldwide. The first product to release is called GroPonix which will be sold in a kit form with everything needed for the average person to set up, run and maintain an aquaponic aquarium system right out of the box. Currently there is no product occupying this market niche of attractively designed natural aquarium filters. Startup costs of $200k will allow the GroPonix system to take in an average of 71% profit margin before operating expenses in a $3.8 billion aquarium pet product market.
