t-mac Technologies Ltd have developed the t-mac, mini t-mac and micro t-mac which areinternet facilitated remote energy monitoring and management devices for remote monitoringand recording of critical readings providing real time and historical report on energyconsumption and efficiency. These devices can interface with building management systemsor with individual HVAC units or complete heating or air conditioning systems as well asintegration within smart metering networks. Taking this to the next level involves thedevelopment of automated capabilities for electricity networks to shed load in order tomanage demand response during critical times.The concept of Automated Demand Response connects utility needs with customer’sresources and is a win-win for both parties. Peak loads can be reduced, grid reliability can beenhanced, the share of renewable generation footprints can be increased, utility operatingcosts will reduce and customers will be able to reduce costs as well. Meanwhile acomprehensive standard for automated demand response is gaining popularity. OpenAutomated Demand Response (open ADR) is a family of specifications and standardsoriginally developed by University California Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in2007 in the USA and is driving progress in automated demand response arena.Demand Response refers to some smart grid entity intentionally interacting with demand sideentities (customers) to influence their consumption of electricity – their lead profiles duringselected time periods. t-mac Technologies would consider becoming a systems provider as ithas direct links with major customers and has the technological capabilities and hardware inthe market to be able to deliver a solution both in the UK and globally in the future.
