Energy management and control systems for utility load monitoring and real-time pricing.

摘要

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has contracted with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) to assess the potential use of customer-owned energy management and control systems (EMCSs) for PG&E's end-use metering and real-time pricing (RTP) projects. The objectives of this assessment are: to evaluate and develop procedures for utility load researchers to obtain energy end-use data by accessing EMCSs installed in non-residential buildings; to evaluate currently available load management EMCS software and develop software specifications that reflect utility and customer needs with respect to RTP. The focus of this project is to explore and study the feasibility of using existing, in-place EMCSs in non-residential buildings for the purposes of utility load monitoring and RTP.
