1 PagesUnlocking its flexible energy demand. UCLan is a campus university serving more than 20,000 students. HVAC units in its library, which is open to students 24/7, have been equipped with Dynamic Demand technology and are providing almost 50kW of flexible demand to help National Grid manage second-by-second changes in electricity supply and demand UK-wide. Open Energi has integrated with the library’s 10 air handling units (AHUs) via the Building Management System. As a result, the AHUs can automatically adjust their power use in real-time, reducing their consumption when UK demand exceeds supply and vice-versa. UCLan is paid in return for this service which offers a cleaner, cheaper and more efficient approach to balancing electricity supply and demand.
