In the recent past
Electricit grids onl transmitted and distributed the suppl
of electricit generated.
Utilities had no options. Power was generated & transmitted
through the grid to match load.
Electricit users had no wa to control skrocketing energ
costs during peak demand hours.
Nowwe can store energ.
Nowwe can integrate energ from renewables.
Nowwe can control how we utilize power from the grid.
Todas world depends on read access to low cost, reliablepower. High-demand peaks are increasing, and electricit
users need new solutions to meet the energ demands of
the future. Demand Energ has the solutions for both utilit
operators and energ users.
Its calledJoule.System.

Utilit Opertors: For utilities, the challenges of
demand peaks are a crisis in the making. Generation and
transmission grids are limited, and demand is growing.
For utilities, energ storage provides three criticalfunctions:
Anewresourcethatallowsexcessgeneratedelectricity
to be stored and saved;
Itcreatesareservoirofenergyavailabletothegrid
during peak usage periods;
Advanceddigitalinterfacesallowstoredenergyto
smooth out the highs and lows of consumption.
Lessen the highs and lows, and ou lessen the strain
on vital transmission sstems, meaning longer life for
equipment.

high-demand periods.

The abilit to add new generation resources to the grid is a
challenge from both a capital and a regulator perspective.
Regulator requirements to improve operations and lower

was to lower energ costs and utilize renewable energ
moreeciently.
Utilit Opertors: The Joule.Sstem gives utilities intelligent
power management for both load and generation, to better
optimize capacit in the electricit suppl chain. Known
as peak shaving, the Joule.Sstem keeps energ movingthrough the suppl chain around the clock, storing energ
o-peakandreleasingenergywhendemandishigh.During
the peak, demand is met from both generation and storage
capacit. Equipment utilization is improved, and the need to
increase energ through generation alone is greatl reduced.
Commercil Users: Peak shaving is the answer to reduce
demand charges and control the rising cost of energ.
Storing energ when prices are low and using that energ
during peak hours, gives commercial users the abilit to
moderate or eliminate high rates during peak-demand
periods.

Utilit Opertors:Intelligentenergystorageallowsutilities

Load Capacity Before energ storage technolog,
transmission loads were a series of peaks and valles
determinedbyusageonthegrid.Integratingintelligent
storage into a transmission sstem allows the load to be
better managed. Equipment stresses caused b variableloads are relieved, letting transmission equipment operate
at a more consistent level. Level transmission strain, and

Electricit Users: Bu low. The Joule.Sstem chargesduring low cost hours, and releases stored energ during
high-demand hours. Known as time-of-use (TOU) energ
cost management, the Joule.Sstem gives ou the abilit
to save during high-rate hours, or to utilize power from
renewables like wind, water or solar.

Electricit Users: When the power cant go out, stored

Commercil Users: On-site energ storage for building and
business owners ensures use of the best rates, maintains
read access to power, and incorporates renewable energ
generation sources at the local level.
Microrids: Microgrids, localized independent grid sstems,have long depended on fossil-fuel (diesel or oil) generation
tokeepelectricityowing.Ofteninremotelocations,many
microgrid operations have incorporated wind and solar
generation to lower dependence on fossil-fuels. Without
energ storage capabilities, the intermittenc of renewable
generation can overwhelm a small grid, causing sstem
failures or low utilization. The Joule.Sstem is changing that.
Working like a shock absorber, the Joule.Sstem charges
from the dnamic energ generated b wind or solar, and
distributes an even load to the grid.
