Case Studies: Energy Management

Distributed energy management technologies include energy storage devices and various methods for reducing overall electrical load.

Energy storage technologies are essential for meeting the levels of power quality and reliability required by high-tech industries. Energy storage can provide emergency power and peak-shaving benefits, and is an important complement to distributed generation because it gives generators more load-following capability.

Load reduction technologies are used to reduce energy consumption. By maximizing end-use efficiency, they can also help avoid or postpone the construction of new generating plants.
