INTELLIGENT DEMAND RESPONSE
Definitions of Demand Response
Intelligent, Auto DR
Intelligent DR
Manual DR
Operators receive notification, make reductions by hand
Controlled Manual DR
Operators receive notification, make reduction manually using
installed control system
Auto DR
Demand Response
Signal sent by utility or aggregator to site and triggers automatic reduction using fixed list of loads
Intelligent DR
Signal received by utility initiates DR automation & rolling curtailment begins based on user-defined action plan
Intelligent Auto DR
Enables all the qualities of Intelligent DR with the added complexity of a decision tree that allows for the event to
be triggered without human interaction at the time of the event.
CURTAILMENT CHALLENGES
Any Solutions Must Address These Objectives:
Load shedding is too risky
Can’t earn enough to justify risk
Not enough automation infrastructure to do it right
Not able to determine exact curtailment level
Not enough information to make participation decision
Must coordinate differing processes & systems
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
How It Works
Spara EMS gathers
real-time data from
utility meter
The system calculates
curtailment
requirements
Available loads are
evaluated for and
categorized for
reduction
The system takes
coordinated action
to mitigate peak
charges
Spara EMS
confirms reduction
using meter data
Savings are verified
and documented via
reports

GUADALUPE COOLING COMPANY
“We’ve tried to participate in PG&E’s DR programs manually but we
were totally unsuccessful. Powerit’s technology made it easy.”
Danny Vincent, Plant Manager
A Powerful Solution:
Powerit’s system gave the facility the technology to participate in utility incentive programs allowing 1,560
kW to be available for CA’s DR needs. Immediate compensation resulted through utility DR incentives.
Powerit’s Financial & Environmental Impact:
52% decrease in peak demand
ROI = Less than 1 month
Avoided the generation capacity to
power 1,154 homes
Equals generation capacity CO2 offset
of 2,028 acres of fir tree forests
DEL MAR FOOD PRODUCTS
“We are not only satisfied but overwhelmingly
thrilled with the product.”
Lee Haskins, Director of Operations
A Powerful Solution:
Powerit’s system allowed for a 420kW reduction in average monthly peak demand. Del Mar’s
peak demand reduction resulted in an annual savings of $55,440.
Powerit’s
& Environmental Impact:
ProjectFinancial
Cost= $85,000
20% decrease in peak demand
ROI = Less than 11 months
Avoided the generation capacity to
power 481 homes
Equals generation capacity CO2 offset

ANCHOR WAREHOUSE SERVICES
“"I’m not easy to impress but this is one of the few times that I
can honestly say the end result was greater than I anticipated..”
Garth Ramseier, President
A Powerful Solution:
Powerit’s technology allowed for 365kw in estimated available DR capability. Anchor Warehouse
Services will utilize this system to automatically reduce loads within the plant when triggered for
a demand response event.
