The challenge:
The Smart Grid is the modernization of the electricity supply
system. It monitors, protects, and automatically optimizes the
operation of its interconnected elements in order to guarantee
the supply of electricity. Consumers of electricity are asked
to reduce their consumption (shed load) at critical periods,
or pay higher fees.
The solution:
Lutron Smart Grid solutions, like Quantum® IntelliDemand™
or RadioRA® 2, contain load shedding software that can
easily reduce the lighting load either at the touch of a button
or via an automatic command. Lighting is an ideal choice for
load shedding because it consumes a substantial amount
of electricity, and because, unlike other systems, power
reductions can be implemented gradually, so that they go
unnoticed by the occupants in a building.
The benefits of Lutron
Smart Grid solutions:
• Receive financial incentives from demand response programs
• Use less energy and spend less money
• Reduce building electrical usage at critical periods to prevent
grid instability, blackouts and critical peak charges
• Allows load reduction at the touch of a button without having
to dispatch the maintenance team to manually turn off loads
• Unnoticeable to the occupants of the space
• Help stabilize your community energy prices
• Take advantage of additional government incentives

to load shed requests automatically, or at the touch of a button.
Just the right light ensures comfort and productivity.
Utility company sends out
demand response signal.
Automatic signal
Manual signal
Customer receives demand response
notification by way of telephone,
email, text message or pager and
manually adjusts load via PC.
Quantum® hub receives demand response
signal and lowers lighting, turns off pre-
programmed loads, increases HVAC set
point, and adjusts shades to save energy.
Q-Manager™ with IntelliDemand™ allows
user to pre-program loadshed strategies.
Smart meter relays demand
response signal from utility
company to commercial
building by Ethernet.
Demand response signal
is sent directly to a converter
which then relays the signal
to the Quantum hub.

Typical application: office building
In this application, a customer has pre-selected a series of load-shedding
actions using Quantum® IntelliDemand™ software. Upon receipt of a demand
response signal from the utility company, the system automatically reduces the
lighting loads in the selected areas over a one-minute period. The lighting is
adjusted slowly, so the occupants will not notice the change.
