WHAT WE DO Intelligent Energy Management Intelligent Demand Response Intelligent Energy Efficiency Intelligent Demand Control
INTELLIGENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY A Powerful Solution: • Identifying opportunities for on-going energy efficiency by strategically managing consumption to reduce overall electrical consumption without compromising production or quality Intelligent Energy Management Intelligent Energy Efficiency Intelligent Demand Response Intelligent Demand Control Primary Benefits: • Quick Payback: typically 2 to 18 months • Savings: 7-15% reduction in overall electrical utility bill • Innovation: intelligent coordination of facility operations and building management
INTELLIGENT DEMAND CONTROL A Powerful Solution: • Understanding where, when, and why demand spikes occur then reducing or shifting them with minimal impact on facility operations Intelligent Energy Management Intelligent Energy Efficiency Intelligent Demand Response Intelligent Demand Control Primary Benefits: • Quick Payback: typically 2 to 18 months • Savings: 10 – 40% reduction in overall peak demand • Innovation: prioritizing loads based on rules and set points
INTELLIGENT DEMAND CONTROL Demand Control Via Load Shedding
INTELLIGENT DEMAND CONTROL Sheds Loads to Reduce Peak Demand Charges [] By managing their peak demand, our client saves over $65,000 a month with no negative impact to production.
INTELLIGENT DEMAND RESPONSE A Powerful Solution: • Event-based reduction in electric usage by end-user customers in response to changes in the price of electricity over time or to incentive payments designed to induce lower peak use Intelligent Energy Management Intelligent Energy Efficiency Intelligent Demand Response Intelligent Demand Control Primary Benefits: • Quick Payback: typically 6 months- sometimes less than 1 • Savings: revenue/discounts received for both availability commitment and performance • Innovation: prioritizing loads based on rules and set points
INTELLIGENT DEMAND RESPONSE Definitions of Demand Response Intelligent, Auto DR Intelligent DR • Manual DR • Operators receive notification, make reductions by hand • Controlled Manual DR • Operators receive notification, make reduction manually using • installed control system • Auto DR • Signal sent by utility or aggregator to site and triggers automatic reduction using fixed list of loads • Intelligent DR • Signal received by utility initiates DR automation & rolling curtailment begins based on user-defined action plan • Intelligent Auto DR • Enables all the qualities of Intelligent DR with the added complexity of a decision tree that allows for the event to be triggered without human interaction at the time of the event. Demand Response
CURTAILMENT CHALLENGES Any Solutions Must Address These Objectives: • Load shedding is too risky • Can’t earn enough to justify risk • Not enough automation infrastructure to do it right • Not able to determine exact curtailment level • Not enough information to make participation decision • Must coordinate differing processes & systems

CANNON MUSKEGON CORPORATION “The Energy Director is a great tool. We have achieved the predicted savings and would definitely recommend it to others.” Dick Winsemius, Plant Engineering and Maintenance Manager A Powerful Solution: Powerit’s system gave the facility the technology to keep production in top priority and cut costly peak demand by 26%, resulting in annual savings over $96,000. Powerit’s Financial & Environmental Impact: 26% decrease in peak demand ROI = Less than 10 months Avoided the generation capacity to power 999 homes Equals generation capacity CO2 offset of 1,755 acres of fir tree forests
FOOTE FOUNDRY “We are no looking beyond furnace operations to see where the system will allow us to reduce our energy costs even more.” Jerry Dale, Plant Manager A Powerful Solution: Powerit’s system gave the facility the technology to keep production in top priority and cut costly peak demand by 26%, resulting in annual savings over $96,000. Powerit’s Financial & Environmental Impact: • Project Cost = $271,015 • Equipment = $108,228 • Engineering = $430,341 • Infrared Temp Monitoring System = $35,714 • Installation = $59,774 26% decrease in peak demand ROI = Less than 16 months • Primary Loads: • Induction Furnace • Air Compressor Avoided the generation capacity to power 380 homes Equals generation capacity CO2 offset of 667 acres of fir tree forests
ROCHESTER METAL PRODUCTS “Powerit Solutions provided our business with a system that controls our electrical demand very well.” Doug Smith, Project Engineer A Powerful Solution: The system enables the furnaces used for the melting process to operate as one cohesive system.
