Energy Visualization and Efficiency Leveraging insight for effective Network Operations Highlights > Presented in an actionable and contextualized format: where, when, and how customers need it. > Advanced alerts and overlays increase customer engagement. > Management of SEP devices and integration with relevant Grid Director demand response and distributed generation applications is seamless. > The ability to integrate with green button or other third party visualization and control solutions is built in with well-documented connections and instructions. Benefits > The cost of portal integration with the Grid Director application is typically less than half that of outsourced dedicated solutions, and has far more flexibility and extensibility built in > Call center support load is decreased substantially with the presentation of much finer grained and contextualized information than a typical paper bill > The ability to message and alert customers through an integrated portal solution enables conservation programs that benefit a utility’s bottom line and Providing Advanced Customer Insight and Control The Grid Director Energy Visualization and Efficiency application provides analysis, reporting and visualization of energy use for utility residential and commercial customers, and integrates seamlessly with demand response, peak pricing, and other utility programs and technologies. Based on open standards (e.g. WSRP 2.0 / JSR 286), this application can be embedded as a web portal, integrated within an existing utility web site or served with third party applications. Customers gain the ability to interact with the energy data received from networked meters, providing them with a genuine, direct, and tangible benefit from the Smart Grid system, and the utility itself gains tremendous flexibility in its program options. Integration with utility billing systems as well as AMI systems aggregate, correlate, analyze and present information such as daily consumption, hourly consumption and comparisons with neighbours or other similar sites to the customer, and can be further enhanced with weather information analysis and other data sources. Commercial customers are also supported with account aggregation and disaggregation, property comparisons, and commercial rate factor calculation and presentation. With access to direct information presented within a contextualized and easy-to-use web portal, residential and industrial customers benefit from a much more useful view of their power consumption than they typically had before, engendering a more positive and trusting relationship with the utility, and fostering conservation behavior and initiatives. GD-APPL-EVPORTAL-0410 The Grid Director Energy Visualization and Efficiency application enables utilities to provide customers with the information they need: when and where they need it, helping in ways ranging from enabling manufacturing facilities to make more informed choices about their equipment utilization, to empowering residential customers to make energy conservation a natural behavior. By taking control of energy presentment, utilities are in a position to integrate seamlessly with third party energy visualization providers, or to retain all or part of the energy presentment themselves and avoid disintermediation. Energy efficiency is becoming part of the utility’s core business. New programs enabled by electrical grid advancements can make significant gains in this area, especially as efficient use of energy represents one of the most favorable means of ‘generating’ power. > Built-in responsive design presents the most useful interface automatically, no matter what the client (phone, tablet, computer, or other device). > Support of Demand Response technologies for critical event management, time of use pricing for shift loading, peak pricing for demand levelling, and other programs are also present, within a very flexible and easy to integrate environment. > Program tracking helps the utility understand which initiatives are leading to significant savings, and which are less successful and well utilized. > Green Button compliance ensures forward compatibility with future services.
