 Global Adjustment & HOEP are Inversely Related

Adjustment

“There is an inverse
proportionality between HOEP
and GA (i.e., generally when HOEP
is lower, GA will be elevated and
vice-versa).”

Understand Your Costs – ICI Program and Curtailment – What to curtail?

1. Conduct a load inventory

2. Analyze what can be curtailed and when

3. Run Test or Curtailment Drills - if you’re new to the program

4. Optimize curtailment on a department or asset level

14
When to Curtail: pTrack™

• 100% Accurate peak days prediction with 4h ahead notice

• Never missed an Ontario Demand peak
• Developed by in-house team of world experts. Proprietary.
• Team has been predicting ICI Peaks since 2011.

How does pTrack work?

1. Independently predict Peak Days without relying on the IESO.

2. Utilizes the latest machine learning to predict the probability

Coincident Peaks. Two models running in parallel.

3. Predicts embedded generation on the Ontario grid (including PV

and Wind outputs) which considerably affects the peak load hours.

4. Game Theory modelling improves predictions based on other

participants’ curtailment activities

When to Curtail: pTrack™ Service

1. Analyze – CAPA (Curtailment Action Plan Analysis)

2. Predict + Notify when the peaks will occur

3. Verify the savings and ensure proper billing of GA

amounts

4. All in One Platform to manage electricity, water,

gas etc., energy and peaks.

Managing Global Adjustment since 2011 and we have never missed an

Ontario Demand Peak

Never Miss a Coincident Peak

The combination of pTrack™ + dataTrack means you will never miss a peak for the ICI
1. Know what to curtail
2. Know when to curtail - with a high degree of accuracy
3. See curtailment effort in real-time, down to machine level

Monitor the Chance of Peak Monitor Curtailment – Facility Wide -> Asset Level

Best Practices for Monitoring, Analyzing and Optimizing Energy Costs

1. Understand Your Costs: Have an understanding of what you’re actually paying for

2. Optimize Consumption: Decide what actions you can take, prioritize them

I. Involve Stakeholders
II. Set goals and obtain buy-in

3. Monitor Closely: Real time monitoring, real time insights, ensure

4. Provide reports: Close the feedback loop

Final Summary

1. From 2016 – 2020 managing ICI was the primary way to manage
energy costs
2. Due to regulatory and macroeconomic factors, HOEP is increasing
while ICI is low
3. This will not be the case for long
4. Managing HOEP, ICI and Monthly Peaks is now the main way to
maintain savings
