A new, fully tailored electric load diagram can reshape a facility’s energy profile by actively managing selected loads on a 24/7 continuous basis. Selected electric loads are real-time optimized in an aggregated manner that minimizes the coefficient of simultaneity (energy demand), thus reducing power peak (kW) and consumption (kWh) without affecting comfort or design intent. The power optimization that occurs in each integration period (utility measurement – usually 30 minutes thus 48 times per day) and for any kind of utility rate provides an exclusive load-shape profile attuned with the location’s electric requirements, saving wasted energy, effectively reducing costs and carbon footprint, according to Duarte.

 

Usual project profiles optimize selected electric loads: motors with VFD and air handler units equipped with variable frequency drives, chillers, air compressors, rooftop units, bailers, resistive equipment (heating systems, kitchen equipment, etc.), cooling storage multi-compressors and other designated loads.

This awarded patented technology is a state-of-the art hardware and software next generation solution for a 24/7 real-time made-to-measure electric demand response management for end-use networks, Duarte said. It’s a zero discomfort solution that focuses on fine-tuning the electricity consumption patterns of customers, using a personalized priority factor for different candidate loads, guaranteeing continuously energy efficiency and successfully optimizing allocation of power – the right power, at the right time for the right equipment.

 

This intelligent energy conservation solution targets commercial and industrial electricity users. And it is developed both for demand (kW) and consumption (Kwh) reduction – a 24/7 real-time entirely automated solution that does not require human interface. However, the system is accessible either by remote access or locally through a large color touch screen with a security passcode where the user can observe operation in real-time and interface with equipment if desired.

 

Overall capabilities

 

The overall capabilities of the Terawatt intelligent Demand Response, Duarte said, include:

 

• Proven technology: low investment, reduces energy costs, fast ROI, helps improve G.O. profit;

• Fully automated system working 24/7 in a tailor-made energy optimization profile;

• Detailed monthly performance-tracking reporting with real-time hourly optimization results;

• Auto-regulated for several personalized input protocols: relative humidity/temperature levels;

• System remote/local access password protected interface on 15” color touch screen monitor;

• Interface option with Distributed Generation platforms, EMS, Modbus and Scada protocols;

• Real-time recording and monitoring of all type of fluids (i.e. temperature, water, gas, etc.);

• Smart Grid compatible with fully automated protocols;

• Real-time interface on status by remote access (TCP/IP / Modem) with GSM alarm activation;

• Detects and eliminates energy waste, helping to meet corporate sustainability goals on emissions;

• Automated ATS commutation utility grid/emergency-monitoring and optimization for both;

• Helps provide compliance with energy regulations and to negotiate rate plans with utilities; and 

• Enhanced public image and social responsibility through Key Performance Technology (KPT).
