AGGREGATOR, MONITOR, AND MANAGER OF DISTRIBUTED DEMAND RESPONSE
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a database to store demand response data, the demand response data including demand response agreement parameters, demand response load and energy demand characteristics of one or more demand response customers, the demand response load characteristics including power consumption capacity of each of one or more demand response loads;
an aggregator to aggregate the demand response loads based on the demand response data and forecast data into a demand response portfolio;
a monitor to monitor power demand of one or more demand response customers and one or more power grids; and
a dispatcher to notify the one or more demand response customers of the demand response portfolio and to notify a utility of a response from the one or more demand response customers whether to control the demand response load to return the power consumption capacity of the demand response load back to the one or more power grids.
