Balancing of energy profile is one of the most ambitious challenges Building Owner/Facility Manages are facing.
One of the key factor justifying whether they succeed in this task is the implementation the central control over all the systems in one hand to effectively impact energy profile characteristics.

Energy Demand Management for energy profile is fully backed up by Eneon Smart Energy Management Tools.

Our proposed approach for optimal energy profile establishing is supported by utilization of following concepts:

• Maximum shaving/balancing of energy demand requirements – so the existing infrastructure worked at constant load without any instant waving of needed power supply between the time of intense business peaks and time of business as usual. Bridging to minimum power demand variance between business and non-business hours.
• Definition of capacity available during the whole energetic cycle.

Eneon Smart Energy Management Tools deliver unique opportunity for demand integrated management and including following components:

• Methodology in the area of implementation and maintenance of optimized energy profile
• IT Tool for centralized demand aggregation and managing
• Energy Storage Systems
• Industrial automation providing steering and communication with infrastructure and its integration into business processes

Eneon approach is taking advantage of described below Energy Demand Balancing Strategies.

	Energy Demand Balancing Strategies
	Reduction of local peaks and loads on the energy curve caused by energy receivers is one of the fundamental opimization rules for starting balancing energy profile of the facility. This strategy is enforced by direct paramtertization and programming of infrastructure elementsReduction of local peaks and loads on the energy curve caused by energy receivers is one of the fundamental optimization rules for starting balancing energy profile of the facility. This strategy is enforced by direct parameterization and programming of infrastructure elements or services performed conditions adjusting if impacting the energy profile load. Direct visible effect for applying is lowering the level of required nominal power and improvement of the energy profile breakdown in terms of sources powering the building (liquid and solid fuels, renewables, electricity).
	Projecting the load of facility’s energy receivers systems using off-peak part of energy cycle and related off-peak energy unitary prices. The strategy is applicable for these systems of energy receivers where builded-up loads unitary energy price is lower than average cumulative unitary energy price calculated base on current system’s energy profile. Building- up the load off-peak lowers average unitary energy price for the system as a whole. The mentioned strategy could be carried out in several ways, but the most common one is energy storage usage for off-peak time charging for peak discharging and replacing wasteful systems of receivers(e.g. operating base on fossil fuels) with “new” ones of processes or their parts(e.g. automated ones) as they are not on the critical path. It is important to keep on mind that for core processes like production in many cases any change in one process requires replannning the whole production process cycle and might not be worth doing. So it has to be done wisely and carefully. Special focus is also put on supporting processes, not directly tied up with production core processes giving great potential of savings.
	Strategy based on reducing the load of energy receivers in process perspective. The approach comes from the improvement of processes that drive the operating functions of receivers (incl. MRO). Additionally bonus reduction might come up from bringing to reality oversized energy receivers capacity vs. needs, policies, standard e.g. lighting codes.
	Planning the increase of systems load in the specific season in the year or specific time of the day correlated with the specific type of run business. On the second hand the rise could be connected with economical aspect (e.g. productivity increase) or a consequence of strategic decisions concerning switching from traditional energy source powering the full/part of systems receivers to electricity.
	Strategy of ad-hoc energy profile design combining all of the elements into limited energy consumption projections and just-in time adjustment in power supply to current facility load requirements depending on random environmental factors e.g. economical. Strategy successful execution depends on company’s profile and its’ core activities description. We can imagine the situation in which customers agreed to lower the level of service (for some specific time being guaranteed not a permanent issue but could happen) being offered in return price bonus or other. For service provider in limited infrastructure perspective the cost of giving the bonus is significantly lower than infrastructure development for some overloads (e.g. internet access services) that might but not must happen. Summarizing the service provider dynamically manages the load of his system infrastructure watching and securing set up level of maximum capacity defined.
