Demand response is key to making facilities more competitive and ensuring grid reliability in the face of increasing energy demands and costs. Implementing demand response strategies allows facilities to better manage energy use, reduce costs, and help utilities balance the grid. Tools like enterprise energy management systems and consumption workshops can help identify savings of up to 30% through strategic planning, automated demand management, and cross-facility collaboration. Case studies show global companies cutting annual energy bills by millions through centralized energy procurement and performance benchmarking across their portfolios.

Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon. Demand Response, if you know it at all, is a controversial topic. “Let’s shut down our plant for money” seems to be the take away; and on that basis alone, managers decide whether to participate in programs or not. Until the last couple of years, this was a reasonable approach. Things are changing, and rapidly. If you’re not keeping up, you’re falling behind. Over the next 45 minutes, we will explore why.
- These are disturbing statements, if you believe them…and you should. In most developed nations, the grid has been a stable, reliable - and ignored – part of life’s infrastructure. However, our political leadership and regulators also view the grid as a common element that impacts us all, and therefore must be part of the solution to many of the problems we face today. New laws requiring renewables integration are clashing with an aging infrastructure left to decline both to keep costs down and because no one wants new infrastructure in their back yard. Emerging Smart Grid technology can be very effective in resolving these conflicts, but this is not passive technology.
- The traditional grid always has been “smart”. Backed by talented people and sophisticated models, our grid is the largest, most reliable machine ever conceived by man. Today, when we say “Smart Grid” we mean YOU. To solve tomorrow’s problems, we have to distribute grid intelligence further out the distribution system and even include some things going on behind the meter. “Behind the meter” is utility speak for customer – and again, that’s you. Some fun facts: electricity productions accounts for 40% of all our water consumption and fossil plants are can be major emitters. Clearly, smarter energy means better water and better air as well. The major consuming industries here in the US are water/waste water, IT (Date Centers), and collectively, all those gaming consoles your kids play with (and maybe you as well). Here in the US, those account for 1% of total energy consumption – 16gwh annually. Oh, and by the way, it’s very likely that your utility does not know when your power is out until someone calls it in. Only when outage levels rise significantly above the noise levels of normal demand fluctuations, do they suspect. But without a smart grid, they still may not know the problem area and can waster precious time looking for the fault. So when your power is out, call it in.
- Let’s peak behind the curtain and the orderly and calm lives of utility managers: Wholesale energy costs are highly volatile Water shortage concerns causing conservation to become priority Sustainability is key to customers, shareholders, media and employees Integrating energy efficiency into your company’s culture GHG intensity increased 5 percent in 2011 And… Regulatory demands are escalating Sourcing options are getting more complex Political and public pressure is mounting More internal & external parties demanding access to your energy data Reporting requirements are becoming more rigorous
- In light of this, it’s time to take a new look at Demand Response. It’s not what you think.
- While you may not think of your utility often, it thinks od you, a lot. This is what you look like to the control room of your local utility. The reds, whites and purples are hot spots shown on various utility systems. If your location is in one of these areas, you have a problem. Your facility is much more vulnerable to disruption and quality issues than are your neighbors in the quiet zones. Traditionally, demand response has been used in extreme cases to relieve these stress points. In the future, it will prevent them from ever occurring.
- This is our good old familiar grid. Calm, safe, reliable. Not much going on, and it just worked.
- Since about 2000, all the trends we’ve discussed have been accelerated by new technology, government and regulator policy changes, and newly aware and active energy consumers who want more than just electricity. This leads us to a world accelerating much more quickly than the traditional 10-15 year horizon utilities need for new generation and transmission assets.
- So now, our nice calm environment is broken apart. Where we once had integrated monopoly suppliers, now we have local distribution companies with independent generators and transmission on the supply side, and retail energy markets, demand response aggregators and a host of others on the demand side. This disrupts culture, business processes, customs, relationships, …literally everything about the way utilities operate. Managing in this environment requires more sophisticated systems and new links between them. It’s also added an historically unheard of element, Demand Management.
- The problems to be solved vary in different regions. The solutions look to be similar, though tweaked for local needs.
- Ultimately, Demand Response is synonymous with comprehensive energy strategy. It is the tool that unites many of the competing needs of your organizations, and brings coordination and true production efficiency to the process of satisfying all stakeholders.
- No more is DR a “shut down” for money equation where managers often operated with fear, uncertainty and doubt. Today’s DR, called “DR 2.0” in some circles, is a mainstream part of daily operations. For example, tanks used in process storage as among the most effective “batteries” to store energy for later use. Sophisticated algorithms can use forward pricing curves and solve production scheduling equations to produce the least cost output for today, and may repeat the same process tomorrow with a different result. The ability to create and control your own energy profile then supports an energy procurement contract that charges discounted rates that acknowledges this ability, potentially saving $ millions annually.
