OptoEMU Sensor DR (Demand Response) Features Description The OptoEMU Sensor™ Energy Monitoring Unit with Demand Response (DR) monitors the electrical energy used in your facility and then signals electrical equipment to turn on or off in response to a request from an electric utility, demand response aggregator, or curtailment service provider (CSP). To reduce peak energy use that triggers demand charges, electrical equipment loads can also be shed on predefined usage thresholds. The OptoEMU Sensor DR makes it easy to reduce your energy costs by managing energy consumption, taking advantage of demand response programs, and gaining control over your energy pricing. Why Monitor Energy? Traditionally, energy has been considered an overhead cost. Utility bills show few details about when and how electricity was used, and they arrive long after the energy was consumed. However, new energy pricing structures are changing traditional ways of looking at energy costs. Increasingly, commercial and industrial businesses are finding that they can significantly improve the bottom line by managing energy in the same way as other business costs such as people, assets, and inventory. The OptoEMU Sensor DR’s digital inputs gather data from up to two metering devices that emit pulses (such as a utility meter or submeter). The Sensor DR can also monitor up to 64 data inputs from Modbus devices (over serial and Ethernet). You can view this real-time and historical energy data through a secure online software service such as Pulse Energy or eSight. You choose the service that’s best for your business, and OptoEMU Sensor DR sends energy data directly to that service. Services usually provide graphs, energy usage comparisons, and other tools to analyze energy use in detail. Managing Demand Response Events The OptoEMU Sensor DR includes four signal relay outputs that can be used to automatically respond to a DR event by signaling equipment such as HVAC fans and chillers to turn on or off, or signal existing energy or building management systems to perform load shedding. Each Form C output can be wired for normally open or normally closed.
