“Under the two-year pilot announced Thursday, HECO plans to offer customers lucrative incentives to turn over their power loads — factory motors and process lines, lights, air conditioners and the like — to allow them to be turned down within 10 minutes’ notice. Honeywell will connect the utility to customers with its Akuacom demand response servers, which use a standard called OpenADR.
It also will install its Tridium smart grid controllers at buildings to translate power-down signals into commands within the buildings. All told, the project is targeting 7 megawatts of power-down capacity…”
