SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SCHEDULE DEMAND RESPONSE EVENTS

摘要

A computing device for use with a demand response system is provided. The computing device includes a processor that is programmed to select at least one participant from a plurality of customers to participate in at least one demand response event. The processor is also programmed to schedule the demand response event. The processor is programmed to compare the selected participant with participants of previously scheduled demand response events to confirm whether the selected participant is able to participate in the demand response event. The processor is also programmed to compare the demand response event with the previously scheduled demand response events. The processor is further programmed to reschedule the demand response event and/or at least one of the previously scheduled demand response events when any conflicts are identified based on the comparison between the demand response event and the previously scheduled demand response events.
