4 Demand Response & Peak Load Management - Concepts and Calculations A comprehensive course that covers Demand Side Management Components, Interval Data Analysis and Load Curtailment Measures Visit to enroll! LEARNING OUTCOMES Get a solid understanding of various DSM components Transform raw kw interval data in to useful information Analyze data to identify cost saving opportunities Perform a scoping audit and quantity the benefits from participating in DR programs WHO SHOULD ATTEND Utility Program Managers, Energy Managers, Energy Engineers, Facility Managers, Energy Analysts, Consultants, and Industry Specialists. COURSE DELIVERY This course is delivered on-line (learn on demand) and will require about six hours to complete. You may take up to twelve weeks to complete the course from the time of registration. TOOLS PROVIDED (1) Interval Data Analysis Tool (IDAT): An Excel based tool that is used to prepare, perform quality control and transform the raw data and generate a variety of tables, graphs, and charts including: Heat Maps Load Duration Curves Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Annual Load Profiles 3D Profiles Calendar Charts End-to-end coverage of Interval Data Analysis The tool is entirely written using Excel functions providing the much needed flexibility it supports additional analysis and users can modify or enhance the worksheets to suit their requirement. (2) Load Curtailment Calculation Tool (LRCT): An Excel based tool that will help calculate, document, and summarize load curtailment measures identified during a DR scoping audit.
