How do I stay within my contracted grid capacity?
Direct answer
Staying within contracted grid capacity starts with insight into peak moments, simultaneity and the processes that demand power. With quarter-hour data, alerts and capacity analysis, you see when an overrun threatens and which actions are possible.
- Recognise peak moments
- Track contracted capacity
- Alerts on capacity risk
- Basis for spreading and steering
Checking afterwards versus active capacity management
Many companies only see afterwards that peaks put contracted capacity under pressure. Energy Intelligence makes visible when capacity is used, allowing you to spread, plan or invest more precisely.
- Analyse quarter-hour values to find recurring peak moments.
- Link peaks to processes, charging infrastructure, installations or opening hours.
- Use alerts and scenarios to prevent an overrun earlier.
Timing
Traditional approach
See peaks afterwards.
Modern approach
Signal risks earlier.
Context
Traditional approach
Only know the maximum load.
Modern approach
Link peaks to process and site.
Action
Traditional approach
Increase the contract or wait.
Modern approach
Spread, plan, steer or invest in a targeted way.
Which data is needed?
Quarter-hour values, contracted capacity, site context and information about processes or charging infrastructure make clear when capacity is hit.
- Quarter-hour values per connection.
- Contracted capacity and maximum peak.
- Process, charging or building context.
- Historical patterns and seasons.
Which measures are possible?
Measures differ per organisation. Often it starts with spreading peaks, smartly planning charging moments or adjusting operational routines.
- Spread peaks across the day.
- Plan charging infrastructure more smartly.
- Set alerts at threshold values.
- Substantiate investments with data.
