INTRODUCTIONCarrierr’s Energy Demand System provides reliable andautomated processes to manage the costs of energy consumption.Carrier’s Energy Demand System uses wireless devicesincorporating patented Swarm Energy Management algorithms tocreate a powerful network of coordinated rooftop units to reduceand optimize their energy usage. This system creates a wirelessnetwork of rooftop units with Energy Demand Load Controllerscommunicating through the Energy Demand Gateway.
Each individual Load Controller can independently decide whetherit should allow its unit to run by a relay that can break theconnection between the rooftop unit and the thermostat. Bycommunicating energy information through the Gateway, units areprevented from running simultaneously when it is not necessary,thereby smoothing out peak demand over time. This methodprovides the ability to accomplish Demand Management, DemandResponse, and energy trending over time.
Carrier offers two accessories that, when combined, make up theEnergy Demand System. This technology utilizes Swarm EnergyManagementt methodology as a basis for the operating sequence:S Energy Management Gateway (Coordinator)
(Model Nos. CRDMNDGW001A00, CRDMNDGW002A00):
This model is packaged with a cellular modem and modem
enclosure, and is the first controller to be attached to a packaged
rooftop unit and powered up. This controller will both
monitor/control the attached rooftop, as well as act as a
communications gateway back to the Swarm Energy
Management Web Portal, a service provided by REGEN Energy,
Inc..
