Reducing Energy Costs
Looking for ways to cut operating expenses, The Grand Hyatt at Buckhead turned to Terawatt iDR technology to reduce their electricity bill by optimizing the power demand and rationalizing increasing electricity costs.
The customized energy efficiency project reduced the hotel’s total electrical bill by an average of 9.5%.
In addition to lowering their power bill, Grand Hyatt can now monitor their electricity usage and load profile in real time, identifying unnecessary electrical loads, enhancing their dynamic approach to energy conservation policies, and actively reducing their carbon footprint.
Energy Savings
The new generation and state-of-the-art Intelligent Demand Side Management (iDR) technology provides a fully automated 24-hour intelligent Demand Response optimization based on a customized, proprietary load algorithm.
Terawatt’s Synapse expertise leverages proprietary and innovative programming to monitor and optimize the activity of a private electrical network in real time.
It is designed to:
- Effectively adjust and lower the level and pattern of electricity usage
- Reduce waste and identify inefficient utilization of resources
- Interface with selective electrical equipment
- Fine-tune performance to the operation’s real needs, always meeting design intent
The new customized load profile shapes power demand integration based on an adapted coefficient of simultaneity, thus lowering both power peak (kW) and electrical consumption (kWh), generating cost-effective results by:
- Lowering the utility bill
- Regulating the load shape of the electrical operation
