Industrial demand response EMS

The technology for large-scale energy management, demand response multiplies the benefits of several small changes. By adapting the power draw of primary and secondary manufacturing equipment with respect to each other, their total energy consumption is optimised to reduce costs without sacrificing productivity.

Each prosumer (consumer and producer) and potential energy source are treated as a separate user in the system, going as far as adapting electrical and gas sources under the same process, understanding the cost benefit of both. Mutual adaptation of machines in separate processes allows energy consumption to be optimised based on all available information—such as production demands, forecasts, time-of-use charges, and energy price—and the use of sources of flexibility that may not be immediately apparent.
