Ziphany Boasts: Easiest Solution for Demand Response Providers in PJM

Feb. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Ziphany, LLC - a leading provider of technology solutions for the energy industry has added a key feature to their Demand Response Platform (ZDRP) - a solution designed to enable providers to infinitely scale their business.

Demand Response (DR) refers to changes in electric consumption by end-users as a reaction to price fluctuations and in order to attain incentive payments.  A DR event is called for when the reliability and capacity of the grid are at risk.

Now ZDRP can interface directly with the web services of PJM, participants can be automatically enrolled and benefit from a streamlined regular exchange of information.

Taken from its official website, PJM is “a regional transmission organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.”  PJM is the largest competitive electricity wholesale market in the U.S. and provides opportunities for demand response with several programs, including: Energy, Capacity, Synchronized Reserve, and Regulation.

“We are doing exciting things for DR already in New York, New England, California, Texas and Ontario [Canada].  The introduction of our streamlined interface in PJM is just another advantage for CSPs (curtailment service providers),” says company CEO, Brian Palka.  “Finally, aggregators (CSPs/DRPs) can avoid the cumbersome steps involved with enrolling new participants in PJM.”
