AUTOMATED DEMAND RESPONSE SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for reducing an electrical load in a facility with a building automation system, includes first receiving information for a demand response event from an automated demand response server at an automated demand response client. After receipt of a new demand response event, the system determines a plurality of devices of the building automation system to be controlled during the demand response event. Next, the system prepares a schedule of control actions for the plurality of devices during the demand response event. The system then sends control messages to the building automation system to execute the control actions for the plurality of devices according to the schedule of control actions for the demand response event.

1. A method of reducing an electrical load in a facility with a building automation system, the method comprising:
receiving a demand response message related to a demand response event via a computer connected to a network, the demand response message identifying at least one demand response mode indicating at least a first level of load reduction for the demand response event; responsive to receiving the demand response message, automatically generating a schedule of a plurality of control actions for at least one device for execution in association with the demand response event, wherein automatically generating the schedule includes identifying the at least one device of the building automation system to be controlled during the demand response event based on an association between the at least one device and the first level of load reduction indicated by the at least one demand response mode for the demand response event; and sending control messages to the building automation system to execute the control actions for the at least one device according to the schedule of control actions for the demand response event.
