Demand Response (DR)
Control Peak Demand and Deliver Affordable Energy
The more informed you are about electricity consumption, the more you can deliver consistent, affordable energy to your customers. Our Demand Response (DR) solution helps you effectively monitor usage and control peak demand.
Demand Response made easy
We’ve put together an ideal recipe for demand response success. By combining weather-tough load control modules with a robust communication network, the power to shed load is in your control. Our solution, and its user friendly software application, gives you the data visibility needed to schedule and manage demand response programs easily.
You can shift high-energy items such as air conditioning units, pumps, heat pumps, water heaters and irrigation systems to off-peak hours. Ultimately by reducing production and purchasing costs, you can pass on the savings to customers by lowering prices for off-peak power usage.
You can deploy a DR solution anywhere over the FlexNet® communication network. The solution uses industry interoperability protocols, integrating easily with existing utility systems and operations including:
- Advanced metering
- Meter data management
- Customer information
- Distribution automation
- Outage management
- Geospatial systems
