Abstract
An approach for management and monitoring of auto demand response in a multi-site enterprise. It may provide awareness of upcoming demand response events, monitoring actual responses to demand response events, analysis of energy management and command system performance, an ability to opt-out of a demand response event, and management and control of the demand response strategy. At the enterprise level, an auto demand response supervisor may add management and monitoring functionality. Added capabilities may incorporate message exchanging with the site-level auto demand response service, support for user interfaces that allow event monitoring and enable management actions such as opting-out of an event. At the site level, functionality may be an extension to the auto demand response service. Added capabilities may incorporate message exchanging with the enterprise-level auto demand response supervisor service, and an event response mechanism and user interface that enable a management decision to opt-out an event.
