D-RAAP™ | Demand Response Asset Aggregation Program
Demand Response is the reduction of electrical peak demand at the end-user level in response to federal mandates, ISO / PUC policies, economic drivers or system reliability events. Reductions are achieved through means such as turning on clean power generators and turning off non-critical loads. Demand Response programs assist grid operators and utilities in optimizing the balance of electric supply and demand thereby enabling energy consumers and utilities to avoid service interruptions as a consequence of excess demand, including brownouts and blackouts. Under Demand Response programs, grid operators and utilities pay a stream of recurring cash flows for managing Demand Response capacity that can be shared with participating end-use customers.
Our Demand Response solution, marketed under the brand D-RAAP™, or Demand Response Asset Aggregation Program, provides centralized communication and dispatch control for a network of clean generation assets thereby creating a “virtual power plant.” The generation assets will be directly managed by our proprietary GenView™ control technology.
