The world changes

Random production from renewables Intelligent consumption

So, do we need to build more

peak power plants???

The upcoming paradigm

is random but can be predicted

can be planned

Demand

Smart-LS and smart-DR

The solutions cover load shifting (LS) and demand response (DR).

Both solutions perform a bottom-up quantitative analysis based on a physical model of the process under control

Gain estimates

Dynamic predictive tarif optimization:5 to 10% (on top of classical manual optimizations)

Online flexibility sales/purchases : 10 to 15% (all consumers)

Long term flexibility options: about 5% (peak consumers only !)

% of electricity bill (energy and distribution)

For certain industries, this may represent a doubling of operational margin
