GRID RESOURCE SCHEDULING

摘要

Data comprising a request specifying a desired change in electrical load for a defined period of time is received. The electrical load is associated with a plurality of resources under control of resource agents and on a utility grid. Available capacity of resources within the control of each resource agent over the defined period of time is determined. Each available capacity is det ermined at least using a resource load model. Using the determined available capacity of resources over the defined period of time resource scheduling instructions are calculated for a subset of resources. The resource scheduling instructions satisfy the d esired change in electrical load of the request. Data characterizing the resource scheduling instructions is provided. Related systems apparatus methods and articles are also described.
