Method and apparatus for automated electricity demand response based on online trading of demand side resources
First Claim
1. An apparatus for automated electricity demand response based on online trading of demand side resources, the apparatus communicating at least one of a demand response resource, a demand response management system, a utility grid management system, and a demand response market system through a communication network including the Internet, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more units being configured and executed by a processor using algorithm associated with least one non-transitory storage device, the units and storage device comprising;
a communication unit configured to support a communication with at least one of the demand response market system, the demand response management system, the utility grid management system, and the demand response resources in use;
a database configured to store electricity measurement information related to the demand response resources collected from the utility grid management system or the demand response resources through the communication unit, and to store state information of the demand response resources which being collected from the demand response resources through the communication unit; and
in response to receipt of an electricity demand reduction request notified from the demand response market system, a demand response processing unit configured to receive an electricity demand reduction instruction message according to a certain demand response service contract condition in the demand response management system, to monitor a state of the demand response resources and to perform a demand response process by setting an electricity demand reduction and electricity generation schedule to make an electricity consumption less than or equal to a demand response capacity target value to perform an on-line control process for the operation of the demand response resources, the demand response process being performed with reference to the electricity measurement information so that the electricity consumption is adjusted according to an operation of the demand response resource,wherein the demand response processing unit configured to compare the demand response capacity target value with a maximum demand response capacity prediction value to determine whether to purchase an electricity for an external demand response resource, and request to purchase the electricity to the demand response market system to secure an amount of a shortfall of the demand response capacity.

7. A computer-implemented method for automated electricity demand response based on online trading of demand side resources, the method comprising an apparatus communicating at least one of a demand response resource, a demand response management system, a utility grid management system, and a demand response market system through a communication network including the Internet:
-
storing electricity measurement information related to a demand response resources collected from an utility grid management system on a network or a demand response resources in use in a database, and storing state information of the demand response resources which being collected from the demand response resources in the database; in response to receipt of an electricity demand reduction request notified from the demand response market system, receiving an electricity demand reduction instruction message according to a certain demand response service contract condition in the demand response management system through the communication network according to an electricity demand reduction request notified from the demand response market system through the communication network; and monitoring a state of the demand response resources and performing a demand response process by setting an electricity demand reduction and electricity generation schedule to make an electricity consumption less than or equal to a demand response capacity target value and performing an on-line control process for the operation of the demand response resources, the demand response process being performed with reference to the electricity measurement information so that the electricity consumption is adjusted according to an operation of the demand response resource, wherein performing an on-line control process for the operation of the demand response resources comprises comparing the demand response capacity target value with a maximum demand response capacity prediction value to determine whether to purchase an electricity for an external demand response resource, and requesting to purchase the electricity to the demand response market system to secure an amount of a shortfall of the demand response capacity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
