Embodiment Construction

[0062] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever convenient, the same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0063] Smart grid energy technologies may include the ability for energy suppliers and consumers to communicate regarding the provision and consumption of energy. This communication may be through the installation or retrofit of meter equipment at the energy consumer's location, and utilizing a communication link between the consumer and the utility (e.g., Internet, telephone, radio frequency, satellite, television, email, text message, etc.) to fulfill.

[0064] One class of devices that consumers can use to support this type of communication is smart meters. In contrast to traditional energy metering devices, smart meters may have the ability to receive signals from energy suppliers regarding energy prices, current ...

Abstract

Systems and methods consistent with the present invention allow an energy consumption index to be generated from DR response data and influencer data. The energy consumption index may indicate the energy consumption of a consumer before receiving a DR signal, the change in the consumption after the consumer receives a DR signal, and the consumer's propensity to respond to a DR signal. Systems and methods consistent with the present invention also allow energy providers to monitor, forecast, and plan for changes in consumer demand for energy. Various energy planning tools may facilitate an energy provider's ability to monitor, forecast, and plan for such changes.

Description

technical field [0001] Methods and systems related to analyzing energy consumption by energy users and using such analysis are described. Background technique [0002] The original electrical energy distribution systems designed a century ago were characterized by centralized generation and unidirectional power flow. Problems associated with early distribution systems included the hazardous nature of DC power, the isolated nature of each distribution network, the difficulty of forecasting demand, the potential for isolated damage to cause cascading failures, and inefficient power transmission over long distances. [0003] Some of these issues were subsequently successfully resolved. For example, the switch to AC power has made long-distance power transmission safer and more efficient, and new grid topologies have made power distribution less susceptible to catastrophic failure. However, some of these same problems still exist in the industry today. [0004] In particular,...
