Dispatchable Load™
Challenge: Valuable generation assets sit idle and unproductive because load is low during off-peak periods.
Energy resource managers have had no choice but to live with the predictable, yet maddening oscillations of the demand curve. The fact is the ability to generate electricity far outstrips demand during off-peak hours, so valuable generation assets idle far below capacity, wasting ROI and frequently accelerating expensive maintenance cycles.
If managers could create load at off-peak times, and operate generation assets at a productive capacity, they could normalize the demand curve while maximizing generation assets.
Demand Energy Solution: Demand Shifters™ that can be charged and thus create a distributed load during off-peak hours, creating demand for generation assets and flattening the demand curve.
Distribute Demand Shifters throughout the service area. During times of low demand—at mid-day and overnight—dispatch energy on command to charge the Demand Shifters. Demand Shifters can be sized according to the producer's service area requirements.
Because the energy stored in the charged Demand Shifters is ready for instant re-deployment during time of peak load, resource managers have an exceptional new dimension of control over the generation and delivery cycle.
Value: Use the ability to distribute load to Demand Shifters to maximize generation capacity and flatten the demand curve.
Dispatchable Load
Demand Shifters would be installed at distributed locations in the service territory to create and store significant load and maximize generation.
