Residential Demand Management

Power SG^® Residential Demand Management is a direct load control system for residential demand. It enables accurate, real-time load control, allowing electric utility operators to pinpoint the amount, location and duration of curtailment with precision and verification.

The system provides detailed visibility into the characteristics and availability of loads for specific devices. Easily integrated with other distribution management systems, implementing the system optimizes overall efficiency and reliability. By reducing targeted distribution loads during peak hours the associated cost of supplying power during these periods is also reduced. Power SG Residential Demand Management allows utilities to build and operate a state of the art demand management solution. It is one of the most valuable investments a utility can make. As an alternative to building new generation, demand management can be deployed for about 1/3 the investment.

In addition to load curtailment to reduce consumption during peak periods, the Power SG Residential Demand Management solution enhances reliability through the targeted relief of overloaded circuits, provides outage notification via loss of power alarms, and enhances distribution asset utilization when operational thresholds are exceeded.

Power SG Residential Demand Management assesses interruptible load parameters across a distribution system’s entire participating customer base in real time to curtail delivery peaks and to manage demand for greater system efficiency.
