RPV ELECTRO - Demand Management System
The control of your electric-energy demand offers excellent opportunities to cut power costs.
Energy demand is defined as the greatest amount of power (kW, not kWh) required by a facility, over a preselected short period, usually 15 minutes.
Most utilities impose a demand charge to discourage excessive demand peaks that could result in taxing their generating capacity. The demand charge is for the maximum rate of energy use, in addition to the charge for total amount of energy used.
One way to reduce power demand is to use a procedure called load shifting, in which some electrical loads are operated only during off-peak periods-when demand for and the cost of electricity are relatively low.
A load curtailment procedure can automatically turn off electrical loads, such as air handlers, chillers, or freezers, sometimes on a rotating basis.
RPV ELECTRO offers products and services to creat a Demamd Management System (DMS) in your plant or facilities, to know more about this please send as an e-mail at rpvelectro@ec21.com
