  1. Demand Response Deployment Workshop DR-EXPO 2008 Toronto, Ontario DR Technology Best Practice REGEN Energy Inc. Mark Kerbel President / CEO 416.934.1040 ext. 21 Mark.Kerbel@REGENenergy.com

  2. What is Demand Response? • Management of electrical consumption • Active alleviation of grid stress • Load Shedding during peak demand periods Decreased Grid Stress Demand Response Financial Incentives Controlled Load Shedding / Balancing

  3. The Shocking Truth! • It is estimated that a 5% lowering of demand would result in a 50% price reduction during the peak hours of the California electricity crisis in 2000/2001. • If demand continues to grow unabated, to meet future demand will require 1,300 new power plants supplying 400 GW by 2020. • It’s not just big corporations driving up demand… It’s you too!

  4. Developing a Comprehensive Energy Strategy

  5. Case Study of a Wireless DR Installation

  6. Communication enables efficient energy use EnviroGrid’s swarm logic ensures that loads:

  7. IP enabling edge devices leads to energy efficiency

  8. Swarm methods for Demand Response Building 1 • Self configuring mesh network uses swarm logic to load balance all connected loads with minimal to no impact to occupant comfort • No need to worry about thermostat setbacks, swarm logic is adaptive and self configuring Building 2 Report and Audit DR Management Swarm Optimized Networks

  9. Real-Time Control and Reporting down to the level of each load is a “must have” to confirm activity

  10. Specific lessons from case study Baseline DR
