Demand Response

Our Demand Response solutions provide a reliable, environmentally friendly alternative means to meet utility peak demand and system reserve requirements.

Smart Grid

Enerweb's systems and solutions enable Utility customers to move from passive consumers to active participants on the electricity grid.

• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems integration to System Operator, Distributor Customer systems etc.
• On-site control and communication systems, enabling Utility customer participation in Smart Grid programmes.

Virtual Power Station (VPS)

Enerweb developed and implemented a VPS for Eskom, which involves the coordination of large customer curtailable load. Over 600MW is available for 'dispatch' via the VPS system, with a total of over 2300MW being projected by 2010.

The VPS platform provides the Eskom System Operator (SO) with a means to optimally schedule all Eskom's controllable demand side resources. It presents the SO with a consolidated view of all available 'Negawatts' at any given time, along with cost profiles for dispatch, in much the same way as conventional power station scheduling. The VPS thus effectively increases available system reserve capacity, thereby decreasing the need for emergency generation, brown outs and black outs. Demand Response Support Systems

• Demand Market Participation (DMP) system enables Utilities to manage 'under-frequency' load control and other rapid response load reduction programmes.
