Industrial controls manufacturer Opto 22 introduces the lucrative concept of "demand response" in a webinar.
Many electrical energy providers offer demand response incentive programs to their customers in order to reduce electrical demand during peak use periods. Typically a utility customer is offered financial incentives for temporarily shedding electrical loads or shifting loads to a different time of day. A business participating in a demand response program can transform electrical energy use from the fixed cost it traditionally has been to a future source of revenue. The webinar is directed towards facility managers, plant engineers, business owners, and others responsible for managing and reducing energy use.
The webinar, "Energy Monitoring for Profit: Introducing Demand Response," covers the following topics: How power gets to a business; types of energy management programs and how they can save money; basic energy market terminology; and three simple steps to start a DR program. Also part of the webinar is a case study example of a SUPERVALU grocery distribution center.
