Intelligent Demand Response Technology – iDR, over 20 years of proven results in USA
A hardware-software solution that, in real time, reduces electricity active power or consumption (kWh) and peak demand (kW) for any type of facility. This is achieved through a tailored predictive-adaptive algorithm that dynamically manages the facility’s simultaneity coefficient of load demand during each utility integration interval (any cycle), delivering proven and documented results that translate into lower overall electricity costs.
An optimized electric load shape profile results from a 24/7 fully automated, intelligent demand management system, customized for each facility and accessible remotely for data retrieval, reporting, and system tuning.
IDR technology continuously collects and reports electricity usage, monitors the facility’s load profile, and records data for sustainability analysis and periodic valorized reporting.
The customized optimization of designated loads and equipment does not impact equipment reliability, design intent, or performance quality, and does not interfere with the normal operation or services of the facility.
