Demand responseHierarchical prioritised switching and micro gridLoad management based on hierarchical model and user set priorities

Excess

• The systems predicts generation capacity

• It also predicts load requirement (Magnitude), and

• Expected run time (Volume)• Based on this information the system

automatically runs equipment that can fit within the boxed structure online whilst also respecting the user’s set priorities.

Storage ManagementLoad priority

carbonTRACK can control up to 65K end devices (load) from a single hub. Each of these devices can be set up with hierarchical switching priority and time schedule

Peak demand management• Real time is too late… it’s a

reaction • Pre-real time is critical….

Predict what is going to happen and be ready for the event. Act before it happens.

Wastage is the main cause for shortage

Today we have the necessary resources, technology and for the most part willingness to address the energy supply challenge. The issue is knowing how to do it. The answer to the complex problem of energy management is a simple control switch. Knowing when to activate the switch is where carbonTRACK adds real value.
