Necessities

• Power demand increases much faster than the speed of establishing new power plants
• Energy demand is increasing remarkably along with the development of heavy or chemical industry
• Sultry summer cause the increase of air-conditioner
• The rise of coal price makes generation stations be lack of starting material

Xelpower's DLC(Direct Load Control)/ADR(Automated Demand Response) is a business solution for power utility companies that restrains peak load in the electric power system. The utility company makes a contract with end-users and directly controls customers' electric equipment during the peak load time, which will eventually save expenditure on new power plants.

The future power grids will be more complex but more energy efficient than the today system. Xelpower DLC/ADR will be solution to benefit energy suppliers an consumers alike.

• End-users need to understand energy consumption patterns and power quality and determine whether to participate in ADR program.
• Utilities want to aggregate loads for ADR program, because this will cope with rapidly increasing power demand economically and quickly.
