First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- aggregating premises in a network of utility premises into clusters based upon premise information for each of the premises;
developing a response estimation function for each of the clusters; and
processing a demand response event request using the clusters based upon the response estimation function for each of the clusters.

Abstract
A system and method for use in a network of utility customers to estimate demand response for various utility DR programs. The system first aggregates the premises into clusters based upon customer information for each of the premises. A response estimation function is developed for each of the clusters. The demand response event request is then processed according to the clusters and the response estimation functions.

34. A system for processing demand response events in a utility network, comprising:
-
premises connected to the utility network, wherein each of the premises comprises one or more utility consuming devices; and a demand response module communicatively coupled to the premises and one or more utilities, wherein the demand response module; aggregates premises in a network of utility premises into clusters based upon premise information for each of the premises; develops a response estimation function for each of the clusters; and processes a demand response event request using the clusters based upon the response estimation function for each of the clusters. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
