 Over the
past three years, dozens of companies have developed Demand Bidding
applications, generally combined with meter data collection and
display systems. These applications allow large commercial customers
to participate in demand response on an optional basis.
Voluntary Curtailment DR Advantages
The advantage to this form of curtailment is that
participating companies do not have to commit to long term interruptible
contracts. Participants make decisions to participate in a curtailment
event based on day-ahead or hour-ahead offers, and then get paid
for their reduction based on a negotiated, market-indexed price
per kilowatt reduced.
The problem with most of these “systems”
is that they have little hardware for control or notification,
and typically are only offered as ASP services - applications
served via the Internet.
Cannon Technologies has integrated C&I
Demand Bidding and Interruptible Notification into our Load
Response Center application which can be subscribed
as an Internet-based service, or purchased as a utility-owned
platform, complete with Integrated Call Center Interface,
Meter Data Collection Server, Demand Response
Server, and optional integration to our energy delivery
optimization strategies.
Combine Demand Bidding & Instant Direct Control
From One Interface
If you are a traditional utility, why not give your
dispatchers access to instant short-term direct demand response
to complement your day-ahead and hour-ahead demand bidding operations?
Let direct response deflate the price curve before you commit
to a higher price for C&I curtailment.
In the meantime, take advantage of 15 years of experience
in advanced metering communications, our web-based architecture,
and our ASP-to-Ownership™ implementation programs when you
look for a C&I Demand Bidding service or platform.
