Demand Response System
Detecting and Shaving Demand Peaks before they Reach the Meter
What is Demand Shaving Technology?
Our Demand Response Systems are the confluence of next generation batteries, supercapacitors, and proprietary management software. These systems have saved our customer’s thousands of dollars each month by detecting spikes in demand and rapidly supplying stored energy to eliminate the peaks before they ever reach the meter.
The Importance of Demand
The peak demand of the entire market is on the rise and, utilities have placed large tariffs on customers to account for their rising costs. Not only are customers with higher demand paying massive demand tariffs, in many cases they also have to pay more per kWh than customers with lower demand.
What Causes Peaks?
Peaks are often caused by sporadic, concurrent usage of electrical equipment, common in industrial manufacturing. This can prove difficult to police with management alone.
