Cycled air conditioning

适用于中央空调(AC)负载和/或连接到经批准的负载控制设备的硬连线房间空调. During control periods, the air conditioner is cycled on and off. 循环控制策略保证在控制期内每30分钟空调负荷关闭约15分钟. This assures only a partial reduction in diversified demand. 循环策略可应用于中央空调或空气源热泵. 大河能源公司每天可中断这些负荷6小时，每个冷却季节(5月至9月)可中断200小时。. Great River Energy reserves the right to extend the daily control period, but will only do so under extreme conditions.

Interruptible water heating

不间断水加热系统具有足够的储存能力，可以在电力供应中断的较长时间内供应用户的热水需求. The recommended minimum storage capacity recommended to qualify is 80 gallons. 合格的可中断热水器必须有一个经批准的负荷控制装置，允许在需要时每天中断4或8小时. 大河能源公司的4小时不间断热水项目于11月1日关闭，不再接受新负荷, 2007.

Dual fuel

双燃料加热系统是电和非电或电和电储热(ETS)空间加热的组合. Conventional electric is the primary heating system and oil, gas, LP, or ETS is the secondary or backup system. While wood backup is allowed, 大河能源公司不鼓励这样做，因为这种组合在切换回主电力系统时产生的非自动性质和由此产生的二次峰值. With the exception of ETS backed systems, 二级系统必须能够长时间为整个家庭供暖. 大河能源公司每天可中断这些负荷达12小时，每个采暖季节(9月至5月)可中断400小时。.

ETS water heating

电蓄热(ETS)热水系统具有足够的蓄热能力，可以在电力供应被大河能源公司中断时，每天长时间供应用户的热水需求. 100加仑是使水加热系统成为ETS存储系统所推荐的最低存储容量. 符合条件的ETS热水系统必须有一个经批准的负荷控制装置，将电力使用限制在大河能源公司的夜间充电期. This recharge period generally occurs from 22:00 to 06:00 CPT each day. Recharge may be 8 continuous hours or in increments totaling 8 hours per day. 大河能源可以选择允许每天上午或下午的两个小时的额外充电时间, subject to seasonal Great River Energy control strategies. 其他特殊规定可适用于奶牛场和老年人的申请.

ETS space heating

电蓄热(ETS)供暖系统能够在大河能源公司夜间充电期间储存电能产生的热量，从而提供100%的家庭供暖需求. This recharge period generally occurs from 22:00 to 06:00 CPT each day. 大河能源可以选择允许每天上午或下午的两个小时的额外充电时间, subject to seasonal Great River Energy control strategies.

Any number of mediums can be used to store heat during off-peak periods; the most common are water and ceramic. There are three commercially available storage heating configurations: central, room or dispersed, and slab. ETS空间供暖系统的适当尺寸要求进行专业的热损失分析.

ChargeWise

Available to residential members for charging plug-in electric vehicles. Members must have a ChargeWise outlet installed, a meter that records total energy use through the ChargeWise outlet, 以及一个经批准的负荷控制装置，将电力使用限制在大河能源公司的夜间充电期间. This recharge period generally occurs from 23:00 to 07:00 CPT each day. 大河能源可以选择允许每天上午或下午的两个小时的额外充电时间, subject to seasonal Great River Energy control strategies. 参与需要证明PEV所有权和每辆车的电池大小.

Interruptible irrigation

Available to irrigation systems connected to an approved load control device. Controlled irrigation systems may be either automatic or manual restart. 在冷却季节(5月至9月)，大河能源每天可中断这些负荷达四(4)小时。. Great River Energy will use its best efforts to schedule irrigation control times on a consistent basis each control day; however, 大河能源公司保留在一天中的任何时间控制灌溉系统的权利.

Interruptible metered C&I

The Interruptible Commercial and Industrial (C&I)程序为大河能源提供了在高峰负荷条件下通过中断客户全部或部分电力负荷来降低其容量和能源需求的能力. 大河能源有权在每个日历年控制四个程序选项下的负载，最多可达300小时. 如果客户要求，可以在控制前30分钟发出警告. Commercial and Industrial loads can be interrupted in the following manners:

• Full interruptible -客户同意每次最多减少六(6)小时的全部电力负荷.
• Partial interruptible -客户同意将其电力负荷减少到约定的预定需求水平(PDL)，每次以千瓦(kW)为单位测量，最多持续六(6)小时.

C&I with GenSet

可中断商业和工业计划为大河能源公司提供了在高峰负荷条件下通过中断客户全部或部分电力负荷来降低其容量和能源需求的能力. 大河能源有权在每个日历年控制四个程序选项下的负载，最多可达300小时. 如果客户要求，可以在控制前30分钟发出警告. Commercial and Industrial loads can be interrupted in the following manners:

• Full interruptible with generator backup -客户同意每次最多十(10)小时将其全部电力负荷转移到客户拥有的发电机上.
• Partial interruptible with generator backup -客户同意将其部分电能负荷转移到客户拥有的发电机，并将其电能负荷减少到以千瓦(kW)为单位的商定PDL，每次最多持续十(10)小时.

Energy storage – electric vehicle

Available to all commercial members for charging electric vehicles, such as cars, golf carts, forklifts, etc., that can operate “around-the-clock.” Member must have a dedicated circuit, a meter that records total energy use on the circuit, 以及一个经批准的负荷控制装置，将电力使用限制在大河能源公司的夜间充电期间. This recharge period generally occurs from 23:00 to 07:00 CPT each day. 大河能源可以选择允许每天上午或下午的两个小时的额外充电时间, subject to seasonal Great River Energy control strategies.
