How Does the EMES System Work?

STEP #1 – EMES Meter Connection

1
The EMES® meter devices are placed on your utility meters and monitor
electricity usage and energy demand every 1 minute in order to make instant
savings decisions.

STEP #2 – EMES Portal Internet Software

2 The electricity and utility information is then sent to a web based software
program to be analyzed instantly.

The system determines how much energy is being used, prices of energy in
the market, and makes energy saving decisions.

STEP #3 – EMES Controls

3 EMES power controllers are installed to any energy load source or connected
directly to the existing building EMS system and will turn down power when a
peak demand is reached or shut off out of hours.

 Load Response: At a Glance

• What is Load Response?

• Load Response is the reduction of electrical consumption by customers in
response to:
– High wholesale electricity prices
– System resource capacity needs
– System reliability events

• Load Response programs are used to help maintain electric system stability
(preventing brownouts and blackouts) and reduce the need for additional
generation resources.
Load Response Curtailment Options:

Load Curtailment
Shut-off non-essential equipment or assets (lighting, elevators,
cycling HVAC equipment, or raise temperature set points, etc.)

Load Shifting
Shift planned schedules of operation to off-peak times (typically
industrials).

On-site Generation
Switch building electric loads to backup generators
 Why Load Response?

• Environmentally better option than building new power plants

• Reduce wholesale power prices by alleviating short supply causing price spikes

• Smart System Integration / Meters are an inexpensive solution to a growing problem.

• Load Response can also increase energy efficiency

• Financial benefits for the customer through various programs

• Avoids the need to run high price - low efficiency generation during system peaks

• Lowers overall system capacity requirements

• Increases the reliability of grid and rewards energy consumers that are willing to curtail load as
a way of helping maintain system reliability

• Lowers price volatility
