Systems and methods to implement demand response events
First Claim
1. A computing device for use with a demand response system, said computing device comprising:
- a communication interface for receiving customer data of a plurality of customers, wherein the customer data includes at least a location, a policy limitation, a participation history, and an enrollment status for each customer;
a processor coupled to said communication interface and programmed to;
select at least one participant from the plurality of customers, based on the customer data and a substation location for each customer, to participate in at least one demand response event; and
verify that the at least one selected participant satisfies at least one precondition to receive at least one signal representative of the at least one demand response event by considering at least the policy limitation, the participation history, and the enrollment status of the at least one selected participant.

Abstract
A computing device for use with a demand response system is provided. The computing device includes a communication interface for receiving customer data of a plurality of customers, wherein the customer data includes at least a location, a policy limitation, a participation history, and an enrollment status for each customer. A processor is coupled to the communication interface and programmed to select at least one participant from the plurality of customers, based on the customer data, to participate in at least one demand response event. The processor is further programmed to verify that the selected participant, based on the customer data, satisfies at least one precondition to receive at least one signal representative of the demand response event.

13. A method of implementing demand response events, via a computing device coupled to a data management system, the computing device including a processor programmed to perform said method, said method comprising:
-
receiving, via the computing device, customer data of a plurality of customers, wherein the customer data includes at least a location, a policy limitation, a participation history, and an enrollment status for each customer; selecting, via the computing device, at least one participant from the plurality of customers to participate in at least one demand response event based on the customer data and a substation location for each customer; and verifying via the computing device, that the at least one selected participant satisfies at least one precondition to receive at least one signal representative of the at least one demand response event by considering at least the policy limitation, the participation history, and the enrollment status of the at least one selected participant. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
