HONEYWELL AND HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC TO USE
DEMAND RESPONSE TO INTEGRATE RENEWABLES
AND REDUCE FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENCE
Pilot Project Will Help Maintain Grid Reliability and
Reduce Costs as More Renewable Energy is Added to Island Grids
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 2, 2012 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced a pilot
program with Hawaiian Electric Co. in Honolulu to demonstrate how demand response technology
can help integrate more intermittent renewable energy to the electric grid. During the two-year pilot,
the utility will connect with commercial and industrial customers to temporarily reduce the need for
electricity — critical to maintaining grid reliability as Hawaii reduces fossil fuel dependence.
Hawaiian Electric will conduct a test of “fast demand response” (Fast DR) technology,
which gives the utility and facilities the tools to reduce demand within 10 minutes of notification of
a pending imbalance between supply and demand. Companies receive an incentive to participate
and when Fast DR events are triggered they receive an additional per-kilowatt-hour incentive credit.
This can translate into thousands of dollars in annual savings.
The pilot will validate the technical design and tariffs for a full-scale demand response
program to support Hawaii’s renewable energy goals. It will also contribute to a broader state-wide
effort to increase energy independence, security and sustainability.
“Increasing renewable energy requires new and more advanced methods of managing
reliability, especially given the variable nature of wind and solar. Our demand response strategy
engages our customers in the total solution,” said Scott Seu, Hawaiian Electric vice president for
energy resources. “This project will lay the groundwork for new programs to advance a clean
energy future for Hawaii.”
Currently, Hawaiian Electric has to rely on fossil fuel generation to manage the inherent
intermittency associated with certain types of renewable energy and other interruptions in grid

stability. Fast DR has the potential to reduce the use of fossil fuels to balance the increased
integration of renewable energy in Hawaii.
“Generating ‘negawatts’ — or reducing demand — is the cheapest and greenest way to
meet electricity needs,” said Paul Orzeske, president of Honeywell Building Solutions. “This
project will validate that demand response can deliver negawatts in an accelerated timeframe.
Utilities across the globe have ambitious renewable energy goals, and Hawaiian Electric’s
groundbreaking work will provide a template for solving the challenge of intermittency.”
The pilot will help Hawaiian Electric create direct connections to loads at commercial and
industrial facilities. For the first phase, Honeywell will work with Hawaiian Electric to enroll and
connect customers to a regional operating center (ROC). If demand outpaces supply, Hawaiian
Electric will trigger a notice for customers to reduce demand within 10 minutes, providing more
than 6 megawatts of semi-automated load control when the program is fully subscribed.
A second phase will feature the use of automated demand response (Auto DR) tools from
Honeywell, including Akuacom and Tridium technologies. Hawaiian Electric will use the Demand
Response Automation Server (DRAS) software from Akuacom to manage its resources and events.
At each customer facility, a Tridium smart grid controller will poll the DRAS for event signals.
When the utility triggers an event, the controller will receive the signal and communicate with the
site’s building management system to automatically execute load-shed measures the customer sets
in advance, such as cycling air conditioners, and turning off non-essential lights, pumps and motors.
The smart grid controller also sends data from the facility’s electricity meter back to the
DRAS every 5 minutes so the utility has immediate feedback on the decrease in demand.
The Akuacom and Tridium technologies are based on open, industry-accepted standards so
they can interact with virtually any building system to enable highly reliable machine-to-machine
communication and rapid load reductions.
Hawaii and Clean Energy
The Hawaiian Electric companies, working with the state of Hawaii and the U.S.
Department of Energy, have committed to reach a 70 percent clean energy goal by 2030, with at
least 40 percent of electricity sold by Hawaiian Electric coming from renewable sources and 30
percent from energy efficiency. The challenge is to rapidly accommodate changes in renewable
generation including solar and wind to ensure reliable and economic operation of its grid.
