Why Are Demand Charges a Problem?

How Do Peak Shaving Advisories Work?

  • ● Real-Time Demand Tracking: We constantly monitor 15-minute demand intervals. Our system projects current energy usage.
  • ● Predictive Alerts: Our system sends alerts if demand will set a new peak. These alerts tell facility staff what loads to shed.
  • ● Load Prioritization: Not all equipment can be turned off easily. Our advisories include lists of loads that can be curtailed. This minimizes disruptions.
  • ● Post-Event Analysis: After every demand event, our team reviews it. We check if the response worked. We also find ways to improve future protocols.
