1. A demand response method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a computer, electricity demand information;

    extracting, by the computer, an electricity demand pattern in response to the received electricity demand information;

    dividing, by the computer, a unit interval into a high-power-rate interval and a low-power-rate interval in response to the extracted electricity demand pattern;

    estimating, by the computer, an estimated operation time point of a load; and

    changing, by the computer, if the estimated operation time point is in the high-power-rate interval, an operation time point of the load to any time of the low-power-rate interval to operate the load in the low-power-rate interval,wherein the changing of the operation time of the load to any time of the low-power-rate interval includes determining, if the estimated operation time point is in the high-power-rate interval, whether a limit delay time point at which the load operation is maximally delayed falls within the high-power-rate interval.
