In the Field

Launched in 2009, Pecan Street’s research network is the only real-world electricity-gas-water test bed on the planet. It includes data from more than 1,000 homes, 250 solar homes and 65 electric vehicle owners. Each home’s energy generation and use is measured at intervals ranging from one second to one minute — 24/7/365, and can be analyzed down to the circuit level. This high-resolution data provides insight into how energy is used, generated, and stored.
