Systems and methods for aggregating electric power consumers to create dynamic nanogrids and participate in the energy market

摘要

A group of homes, businesses, or other electric power consuming areas are aggregated and commonly controlled to dynamically reduce loads sufficiently, have sufficient speed and duration, and participate in peak power plants, As a market participant. The amount of reduced power consumption for a single premises is typically very small, but the total reduced consumption of only a few thousands of homes or businesses may be approximately hundreds of kilowatts. Along with intelligent circuit breakers that can include dimmers, the on-premises power controller enables dynamic management of individual loads within each premise.
