Efficiency Original load With energy efficiency 250 kW reduction Building power consumption - kw
Demand / Response Original load With energy efficiency Building power consumption - kw With demand response
Auto Demand Response Demand Response - a utility requests energy curtailment during an anticipated peak period where demand exceeds supply. Utility options are: Purchase power on the spot market Start up old generation plants Build new power plants (very costly) Rolling blackouts Demand / Response Auto DR is an automated way to achieve demand reduction.
