Air-Cooled Chiller Demand-Side Management – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer strategic demand-side management (DSM) solutions for air-cooled chillers, enabling businesses to optimize energy use, reduce peak demand charges, and improve overall cooling efficiency. Through intelligent control, real-time monitoring, and load-shifting techniques, our DSM programs ensure your chiller system performs at its best—while aligning with your facility’s energy-saving goals.

What Is Demand-Side Management for Chillers?

Demand-side management involves optimizing how and when energy is consumed by your air-cooled chiller system. Rather than just focusing on reducing energy use, DSM aims to shift, flatten, or control peak demand, allowing for better participation in energy efficiency programs, tariff structures, and smart grid initiatives.

Key Components of Our Chiller DSM Approach

• Load Forecasting & Demand Profiling
  Analyze historical and real-time data to understand cooling demand patterns and identify energy peaks.

• Intelligent Control Strategies
  Implement advanced controls that adjust:

  • Compressor staging

  • Fan and pump speeds (via VSDs)

  • Chilled water setpoints

  • Expansion valve modulation

  • System run scheduling based on demand forecasts

• Thermal Load Shifting
  Pre-cool zones or shift operation to off-peak periods where possible to reduce peak energy loads.

• Integration with Building Management Systems (BMS)
  Enable seamless control and coordination with lighting, HVAC, and other building systems for total energy optimization.

• Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts
  Track system performance, energy use, and peak demand thresholds with instant alerts for corrective action.

Benefits of Chiller Demand-Side Management

• Reduces peak demand charges and overall energy bills

• Enhances chiller performance during high-load conditions

• Supports grid stability and participation in demand response programs
