Trends and Drivers in the Energy Industry
7
Energy markets and demand response programs can generate substantial revenue for participants.
• Rise of renewables and energy storage
• Time of use rate structures
• Beneficial electrification
• Shift from lighting rebates
ISO communicates that price is
about to increase from $0.1/kWh
to $1.0/kWh, unless 100 MW is
removed from the system.
Virtual Power Plant Scenario
Fundamentally, to enable transactions we must
commingle energy + information and assign value.
I’m a hotel with a big conference
underway. I need maximum cooling
for my building. I’m looking to buy
your additional load reduction to
avoid price increases.
I’m a big-box store, with variable-speed fans on
my RTUs. I can run those fans at somewhat lower
speeds for 10 minutes and “sell” you the load
reduction. It will make no noticeable difference
to my customers, and I can make some money
(part of the price increase the other customer
is avoiding).

• System (total 164 hp) operates with 10 semi-hermetic
Copeland™ compressors
Objective:
• Analyze the energy impact of the medium- and low-
temperature racks of retrofitting one compressor on
each to a Digital Discus™ compressor

Supermarket OptimizationSetpoint Adjustment, Retro Commissioning – Case Study
Step B Step C Step DStep A
➢ 20-year-old,Toronto-area store identified
➢ 1,000,000 BTU capacity (163 HP: MT and LT racks)
➢ 900,000 kWh total
➢ 5 medium-temp Discus
➢ 5 low-temp Discus
➢ Install energy monitoring equipment to baseline the store energy
➢ Climacheck equipment being used
➢ Measure Weather Normalized Energy
➢ Adjust setpoints, superheat, high/low press. settings, comp. cut in/out, SH, etc.
➢ Spent $3,500 on boards and relays to change form two fans cycling at a time to individual fan cycling to 70 °F min SCT
➢ Use energy monitoring equipment and assure “continuous commissioning”
➢ As soon as readings vary away from energy setpoint,investigate the cause of the variance, re-adjust to original setpoints to maintain optimal energy
Results: 18% saving were maintained for 12-month period before new upgrades were performed.
18% = 162,000 kWh savings 24

Refrigeration Technology Upgrades Like Digital
What Is Digital?
• Copeland digital technology is fundamentally different from inverter-based modulation.
• The capacity modulation of the digital compressor is achieved by averaging the time between a “loaded state” and “unloaded state”.
• It is unique, reliable and very simple to apply.
Can also add a VFD to Discus (25–60 Hz range) AE21-1369 R4 28
Digital Discus™Digital Scroll™
27
Why Include Digital in Your Refrigeration Retrofit and Remodel Projects?
• Reduces compressor cycling
• Increases contactor life/system reliability
• Improves system load match capability
• Improves suction setpoint range
• Improves energy efficiency
• In some cases, suction setpoints are lowered to compensate for swings in suction pressure due to compressor cycling. By increasing the suction setpoint, an energy savings can be achieved.
• For every 1 PSI increase in suction pressure, compressor power is reduced by approximately 2 percent.
• Up to 30 percent more efficient than using hot-gas bypass

Digital Upgrade – Results From Case Study
Supermarket Optimization Digital Discus Upgrade
Step F Step G Step HStep E
➢ Digital upgrade to MT and LT rack
➢ Establish worst-performing MT and LT compressor
➢ Ones with the highest discharge temps were identified as the worst
➢ New Digital Discus were used instead of adding a digital retrofit kit due to high discharge temp. issue
• Ran the new MT Discus Digital and new LT Discus Digital at full load for one month to record the actual energy advantage of two new “fixed” capacity Discus vs. two that were running with elevated discharge temperatures
• 4% savings
➢ Enabled Digital Discus for MT and LT rack using the E2 enhanced suction group
➢ Medium-temp. saving with Digital = 75,000 kWh
➢ Low-temp saving with Digital = 47,000 kWh
➢ 12% additional savings
➢ Further testing was never completed
➢ Plans were to:
➢ Change new condenser, M&V for energy baseline
➢ Upgrade to ECM motors on cond. and compare to baseline
➢ Was also planning to add EEV and case controls and compare to baseline TXV
Total Digital Discus upgrade saving was 16% or
122,000 kWh, $0.14/kWh = $17,080 saving
