AUTOMATE PEAK DEMAND CHARGE REDUCTION

What Are Peak Demand Charges?

  • If you are a large commercial or industrial utility customer, chances are that 30%- 70% of your utility bill is made up of demand charges

  • The demand charge is a monthly fee that you pay as part of the cost of maintaining the electric utility’s infrastructure required to deliver electricity to your building

  • On each month’s bill, the demand charge amount is based on how high your energy use measured in kilowatts (kW) peaked during the month

  • The higher your peak usage in kW, the higher your demand charge is going to be

 

Automated Demand Management (ADM)

AI/ML Peak Demand Curtailment

 

AI/ML Peak Demand Prediction is leveraged to calculate the optimized demand limit for specific billing periods.

Users can adjust parameters to be more aggressive or less aggressive in reducing peak demand charges.

Nantum utilizes the calculated and optimized demand limit to automate demand management strategies.

This AI-based ECM optimizes the schedule of curtailable and deferrable loads through building management systems to achieve demand load reduction (i.e., peak demand electricity cost) throughout the billing cycles.

Automated Demand Response (ADR) offers customers the ability to stay below an agreed electrical peak for no more than 1 hour per day in exchange for a significant reduction in demand charges.
