INTRODUCING PEAKRESPONSE™ – YOUR WINDOW TO THE GRID PeakResponse™ is a sophisticated demand management software and hardware solution designed to help your business better manage electricity use and avoid costly peaks in the grid. Real-time analytics helps you make informed decisions about the time and duration of your energy use. We alert you when your site consumption is approaching a threshold peak, when electricity prices are rising, or if weather is likely to impact energy prices in the coming days. Providing rapid feedback is the starting point for Peak Smoothing, where equipment can be either curtailed or optimised when energy consumption reaches specified thresholds. This type of automation makes electrical load management a seamless part of your business operations. Once automation is enabled via the Cloud, your equipment can be scheduled and optimised based on time of year, local climate and electricity prices. Cloud automation is a key enabler for Price Response. A timely switch in energy use allows users to benefit from variable market pricing. CASE STUDY: ORORA, NSW A large manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia was fitted with PeakResponse™, allowing it to participate in a demand response network program. By switching off for three hours on a hot summer afternoon, the customer attracted a $35,000 payment from the local distribution utility. “Participation in the network events were easy, as we’re used to shutting down parts of our plant. We got paid for doing what we do anyway.” Chris Sprotte, Orora Now enabled with the PeakResponse™ system, this customer can take advantage of the PeakResponse™ user interface to continuously monitor their energy usage and to participate in other programs such asPrice Response or Peak Smoothing. PEAKRESPONSE™ SERVICES SUMMARY For all types of non-residential customers, there are a number of GreenSync services that are designed for your business, and your customer’s needs.
