Traditionally, an automated demand response is used in an electric utility structure to even out imbalance in the supply and demand. It is utilized as a measure to control efficiency of operations in an entire grid in order to avoid power blackouts caused by system failure and overload
It is most likely that automated demand response will have widespread adoption because of its implications in reduced energy use, financial savings, and business efficiency, which can help greatly in curtailing carbon emissions.
An automated demand response that is designated in a utility industry will act as a device that 'shaves off' peak demand for electricity once it exceeds supply. There would be individual devices which are programmed to operate upon demand through reduction in capacity or through automatically switching off.
A true 'smart grid' should be capable to input data from each device in every specific location. It would also be able to analyze whether or not the device is 'essential' based on the 24-hour timetable. If deemed essential, its level of importance would be determined according to a scale of critical needs.
An automated demand response would have an infinite level of control which can operate with ultimate efficiency. It can save the utility in terms of costs incurred and by eliminating disruption, thereby saving money.
It is essential that an organization should consider having its own parameters for automated demand response. It should be aimed at cutting down power usage, curtail carbon emissions and consequently reducing carbon footprint. Each enterprise should have a clear understanding that gone are the days of just being passive users of electricity from traditional energy sources.
An ultimate automated demand response should ensure that every organization must use energy only on demand and for specific purposes. It should curtail energy use as a process requires. It should also ensure that each company will become responsible for its own efficiency rating in terms of carbon and dollars spent.
Once an automated demand response is adopted by the enterprise, it should work together with the software and utility provider, solutions and systems installed in order to rule out human error in the process. Any organization will gain from adopting these practices as its reputation shall increase being a company that implements clean production and with corporate sustainability.
To help maximize any enterprise's production while minimizing costs, an automated demand response policy combined which energy efficiency drives through a firm's systems and processes can be used.
