Hanson UK has installed Dynamic Demand at 22 sites UK-wide, delivering around 2MW of flexible capacity to National Grid. Bitumen tanks and pumps used to dewater quarries have been fitted with DynamicDemand, enabling them to intelligently shift their demand for energy in real-time, reducing their consumption when UK electricity demand exceeds supply and increasing consumption when electricity supply exceeds demand. This flexible demand helps National Grid to manage the system. The technology has no impact on equipment performance, and in return, Hanson UK is paid for providing this service. In addition, Dynamic Demand provides sub-second metering data on equipment performance, providing new insight to drive operational efficiencies.
