Grid optimization resource dispatch scheduling

摘要

Data comprising a request specifying a desired change in electrical load for a defined period of time is received. The electrical load is associated with a plurality of resources under control of resource agents and on a utility grid. Available capacity of resources within the control of each resource agent over the defined period of time is determined. Each available capacity is determined at least using a resource load model. Using the determined available capacity of resources over the defined period of time, resource scheduling instructions are calculated for a subset of resources. The resource scheduling instructions satisfy the desired change in electrical load of the request. Data characterizing the resource scheduling instructions is provided. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and articles are also described.

1. A method for implementation by one or more data processors, the method comprising:
receiving, by the one or more data processors, data indicating discrepancies between expected and actual change in electrical load of a resource, the expected change in electrical load based on a previously transmitted first resource scheduling instruction including expected change in electrical load; calculating, using the received data and the one or more data processors, a lost capacity envelope based on a load on the resource, a duration defined by a deployment rule, and an indication of how often the resource can accept an instruction, the lost capacity envelope being an estimate of future discrepancies between expected and actual change in electrical load and varying over time; processing, when the discrepancies between expected and actual resource performance exceeds a predetermined magnitude, a second resource scheduling instruction specifying a desired change in electrical load according to the lost capacity envelope, the second resource scheduling instruction comprising the lost capacity envelope; and providing, using the one or more data processors, data characterizing the second resource scheduling instruction to a resource agent and controlling a switched load based on said data characterizing the second resource scheduling instruction.
