Conduit ED DR/DER Week 3: Demand Response and Agricultural Irrigation
Posted by Conduit ED | 8/08/2018
Engaging residential customers in demand response (DR) programs isn’t easy, but there’s quite a leap from someone turning off their A/C with a smartphone to a potato farmer’s irrigation system cutting out in the middle of the day. With the agricultural sector consuming significant water and electricity each day, connecting these customers to demand response creates an opportunity to reduce grid strain.

Conduit ED DR/DER Week 4: Intermittent Energy Resources and Battery Storage
Posted by Conduit ED | 8/15/2018
The electrical grid offers a finite amount of power to the region it serves. Its capacity can grow if the infrastructure is built out, but at any given time only so much electricity is available to be distributed—which can pose a challenge when demand exceeds supply. The demand response (DR)-enabled technologies previously mentioned in this series address this challenge by reducing or shifting demand.
