DEMAND RESPONSE

Sustainable Energy cost Reducing Solutions

Sanrgy provides the utmost satisfaction in demand response planning and execution. We work with end-users, utilities and grid operators to create and grow demand-side solutions customized for each specific territory and customer make-up.
Demand response is the action of end users lowering their demand for electricity (reducing consumption) in order to help balance supply and demand on the electric grid and ensure stability. The greatest need for demand response typically occurs during times of peak electricity demand, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., when extra strain is placed on the grid from situations such as increased air conditioning use on hot days or downed power lines resulting from a storm.

Although various types of electric demand response have been used since the 1950’s, demand response has gained in popularity over the past few years due to the inability of current and forecasted supply to keep up with end-user demand. Demand increases have been caused by population growth, proliferation of electronics and increased air conditioning in home and office spaces. Supply cannot keep pace for a number of reasons, including environmental regulations that restrict emissions and mandates for energy supply to be comprised of a certain level of renewable resources.

For utilities, demand response reduces power grid outages, lowers wholesale energy costs and offers flexibility to meet demand at low costs. Business end-users enjoy the benefits of incentive payments, advanced metering and resource management, playing a role in being environmentally responsible and having a positive impact on their communities.

Sanrgy has been at the forefront of the demand response industry, vocal in industry legislation and a source of information and guidance to utilities, commissions and industry groups across North America and Europe.

Whether you are an end-user, utility, grid operator or potential strategic partner, Sanrgy can provide you with the expertise and tools to reap the greatest benefits out of demand response, energy management and related services.

Hi Patrick, We did our first meter reading since the Line Loss Pro was installed. We are very consistent on the power we use as we are a 24/7/362 business. Motors always run and the lights are on. We are always looking for ways to cut energy costs. On the 208 volt meter prior to the install we used 26,700 kWh for a 7 day test period. After install 4/15/2015 of the LLG’s we used 19,800 kWh’s for the same amount of time. That is a difference of 25.8 % in consumption of power. For the same period last year 4/15/2014 we used 27,000kWh’s as the week after installation. On the 480 volt side we did a test run prior 7 days we used 9920kWh’s and after install4/15/2015 our big chillers ran for 3 days. So the after install meter reading was 10,000 kWh’s. Even though the chillers ran and we had an increase in usage it would be fair to say that there was a savings on the 480 Volt also of roughly 20+%. As time goes on we will be able to compare with readings form the same periods as last year when the chiller runs during the summer months. I will keep in touch and let you know how we do. I would like to thank you for reaching out to us here at Murray County Medical Center in Slayton and helping us to save energy in our business.
