GridPoint Load and Storage Management
The GridPoint Load Management application offers robust methods of managing peak demand and shaping load throughout a utility’s transmission and distribution system (T&D), ensuring system reliability and allowing the utility to avoid peak energy prices and defer investments in new power plants.
GridPoint’s sophisticated Storage Management software provides either isolated or aggregated real-time control over the capture and dispatch of energy by storage assets located anywhere in a utility’s T&D system.

Features
|
Manage Peak Demand and Shape Load |
|
Plan for peak demand by forecasting the likely accessibility of controllable load. View by asset class, location, and historical participation using sophisticated forecasting algorithms. |
|
Automate Load Shedding |
|
Schedule load shedding events based on predicted energy demands to ensure balanced and consistent service for your customers. |
|
Guarantee Load and Storage Levels |
| Assess current storage levels using advanced measurement and verification tools. |
Benefits
Initiate peak demand strategies easily |
 |
Accurately measure, verify and recruit participants in demand response or similar programs, to meet reduction targets. Execute system-wide or location-specific events to avoid expensive wholesale energy purchases and peak-period stress. |
Improve planning capabilities |
|
Automatically create load management events using input from energy management and other relevant utility systems. |
Optimize grid management |
|
Dispatch stored energy using a variety of parameters and modes to relieve pressure or flatten demand, deferring expensive T&D expansion. |
Ensure T&D system reliability and efficiency |
|
Reduce system congestion, without impacting customers, by dispatching stored energy during peak demand periods. |
