20120136496 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DEMAND RESPONSE IN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS - A system and method for use in a network of utility customers to estimate demand response for various utility DR programs. The system first aggregates the premises into clusters based upon customer information for each of the premises. A response estimation function is developed for each of the clusters. The demand response event request is then processed according to the clusters and the response estimation functions. | 05-31-2012 |
20130047010 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SCHEDULING DEMAND EVENTS - Disclosed and described herein are embodiments of systems, methods and computer program for scheduling demand events over a time period based on differences between the estimated power availability and the estimated power consumption at various points during the time period. In one aspect, methods are described. One embodiment of a method comprises establishing a defined time period, estimating power availability over the time period, estimating power consumption over the time period, and scheduling, using a computing device, demand events over the time period based on differences between the estimated power availability and the estimated power consumption at various points during the time period. | 02-21-2013 |

20140049545 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING UTILITY COST - One embodiment of a method for optimizing utility cost comprises receiving a rating for at least one device comprising at least utility service usage information for the at least one device; receiving a desired time of use for the at least one device; receiving utility rate information comprising cost information for the utility service at various times over a defined time period; determining a total cost to use the at least one device at the desired time of use based on the utility service usage information for the at least one device and the utility rate information at the desired time of use; and determining an economical cost to use the at least one device based on the utility service usage information for the at least one device and the cost information for the utility service at various times over the defined time period. | 02-20-2014 |
20140100671 | END-USER BASED BACKUP MANAGEMENT - A device includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface is configured to receive one or more preferences of a customer related to the charging of at least one backup device of the consumer. The network interface is also configured to receive at least one notification of at least one predicted power disturbance. The processor is configured to utilize the one or more consumer preferences and the at least one notification to generate a charging schedule of the at least one backup device and to generate one or more charging notifications for charging the at least one backup device. The one or more charging notifications are based on the charging schedule. | 04-10-2014 |
20140100672 | Utility Based Backup Management - A device includes a network interface configured to receive one or more preferences of a consumer related to the charging of at least one backup device of the consumer. The device includes a processor configured to utilize the one or more consumer preferences to generate a charging schedule of the at least one backup device and generate one or more charging notifications for charging the at least one backup device, wherein the one or more charging notifications are based on the charging schedule. | 04-10-2014 |
