Session Overview

Smart Grid Technology and Demonstrations
Track: The Smart Grid Vision
Wednesday May-17-2006
17:30 - 19:00
At the core of the Smart Grid vision is development and adoption of technology to collect, transport, store and analyze information about electricity condition and usage. The scope of this technology is broad, from generation through transmission, distribution to consumption and the array of specific technologies required is similarly broad. This session will present key technologies under development and in deployment, in many cases providing attendees with live demonstration to labs, pilot projects as well as live sites.

Capitalize on Technology-Enabled Energy Management

Nearly all organizations utilize advanced technology to measure and manage their telecommunications spend. Less than 1% apply the same level of detail to their energy costs. For the majority of businesses, which is a greater concern? EnerNOC will share effective ways for organizations to capitalize on energy information and ultimately reduce costs.

All energy end-users struggle with soaring costs and inefficient usage. Our presentation will demonstrate how any organization can put its energy data to work—cost, supply, and consumption data—to reduce up to 25% of its energy costs. We will present methods to respond immediately to changes in market rates, monitor and optimize energy usage, identify opportunities for energy curtailment, and monitor emissions output.

Traditionally, larger organizations struggled with meters in multiple facilities scattered throughout the city, state, or country. Rate tariffs, facility configurations, and operational challenges vary by region. Energy bills outlining the month’s usage arrive only after the energy is consumed, prohibiting end-users from curbing unwanted high usage. EnerNOC will demonstrate how end-users can easily compare energy usage across facilities and identify anomalies, analyze rate tariffs, and access real-time consumption data. In addition, end-users can easily monitor emissions output and track RGGI credits.

By utilizing comprehensive and transparent energy information, any organization can immediately save money on its energy bills.
