DISTRIBUTED ENERGY DEMAND MANAGEMENT

摘要

Distributed energy demand management mechanisms for a distributed energy network (120) are disclosed. In one example, a local energy controller (150) of a local energy system (120) determines projected energy demand information for a plurality of energy devices (122) of the local energy system based on energy pricing information (112) received from a central energy coordinator (110). The local energy controller modifies an energy consumption schedule during an energy pricing transition period based on energy access control information received from the central energy coordinator to manage a projected energy demand increase during the energy pricing transition period of the distributed energy network. In one example, the central energy coordinator determines the energy pricing information for the distributed energy network based on energy supply information and the projected energy demand information. The central energy coordinator determines the energy access control information based on the projected energy demand increase during the energy pricing transition period.
