SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR REGULATING DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY

摘要

A system, method, and computer readable medium for managing energy supplied by an electricity vendor to a facility heatable by electrical and non-electrical means are disclosed. The method, for example, involves determining a requested load from a vendor as the difference between a target load of the vendor and a current load on the vendor imposed by the facility; and when the requested load is greater than zero, increasing heating of the facility by electrical means thereby increasing a current heating electrical load of the facility by at least a portion of the requested load; and decreasing heating of the facility by non-electrical means thereby decreasing a current heating non-electrical load of the facility.
