METHODS AND A SYSTEM FOR USE OF BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT FOR DEMAND RESPONSE
First Claim
1. A method for managing at least one demand response process, comprising:
- providing, by a computer system, an interface having a plurality of programmable elements, wherein each programmable element can be associated with a particular action to be performed during the at least one demand response process when a particular programmable element is programmed and incorporated into at least one business process modeling diagram associated with the at least one demand response process, and wherein the at least one demand response process is initiated in response to at least one trigger condition of at least one first enterprise process;
receiving, by a computer system, first design data corresponding to the at least one business process modeling diagram;
monitoring, by a computer system, the at least one first enterprise process for a presence of the at least one trigger condition by performing at least one of the following;
i) receiving process data associated with the at least one first enterprise process, andii) subjecting at least one process element of the at least one first enterprise process to at least one;
a) normal operating condition, andb) abnormal operating condition; and
executing, by a computer system, the at least one demand response process in accordance with the at least one business process modeling diagram when the at least one trigger condition is present.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for managing a demand response process which includes at least steps of: providing an interface having a plurality of programmable elements, wherein each programmable element can be associated with a particular action to be performed during the demand response process when a particular programmable element is programmed and incorporated into at least one business process modeling diagram associated with the at least one demand response process, and wherein the demand response process is initiated in response to at least one trigger condition of at least one first enterprise process; monitoring the at least one first enterprise process for a presence of the at least one trigger condition; and executing, by a computer system, the demand response process in accordance with the at least one business process modeling diagram when the at least one trigger condition is present.
