CLOUD-BASED DEMAND RESPONSE

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing cloud-based demand response are provided. Cloud-based demand response may be performed by publishing a demand response request at a communications node, the published demand response request including at least a load reduction request and an incentive price; initiating a load reduction bidding process in response to the published demand response request, the load reduction bidding process being accessible to customer nodes; and determining an updated incentive price based on at least one load reduction bid received from the customer nodes. The updated incentive price may be determined by a bisection function, and the at least one load reduction bid may be autonomously generated based on a customer cost function.
