Operational Intelligence for Demand Response Management

As energy consumption rises, energy producers and utilities continue to deploy Demand Response Programs to help reduce peak period pressure on the electric utility infrastructure. Successful Demand Response programs have demonstrated load reduction and cost savings.

Now that new smart metering and smart grid technologies are being deployed, Demand Response programs can be optimized to receive real-time updates in supply/demand characteristics and pricing inputs. With the new focus on Demand Management as a key part of the country’s overall energy strategy, it is essential that these programs are improved.

Operational Intelligence makes Demand Response Programs more flexible, responsive, and manageable through real-time information sharing between ISO, Generator, and the Consumer.
