Load shifting is a control measure within the context of Demand Side Management to move energy consumption in buildings from periods of high demand to periods of low demand. The term "load" refers to the electrical power required at a specific time to meet the needs of all consumers. The goal is to distribute consumption more evenly, thereby reducing strain on the power grid and saving costs. Unlike load shedding, load shifting does not reduce the total planned electricity usage but merely reschedules it to other times. This can be achieved through the temporal adjustment of energy-intensive processes and the smart use of energy storage systems. An example is charging electric vehicles during periods of low grid demand.
Cloud-based software solutions can continuously collect and analyze building operation data in real time to identify opportunities for load shifting without compromising building comfort. Automated control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and other energy-intensive equipment can lead to significant cost savings, particularly in buildings with high energy demand.
