Claim 9:
10. A building energy management system, comprising:
a computing device configured to receive a flexibility request from an electrical utility, discover energy relevant devices in a building, the energy relevant devices including electrical loads and alternative energy sources, predict a power requirement from an electrical utility for the loads, the prediction taking into account available power from the alternative power sources, determine power set points for the energy relevant devices based on the predicted power requirement, wherein each power set point represents power consumption for an energy relevant device of the energy relevant devices in the building for a time period, optimize the power set points for the energy relevant devices such that the power set points represent power consumption at or below a new requested power consumption of the flexibility request, wherein the optimizing includes computing a baseline trajectory for one or more key performance indicators for a load selected from the energy relevant devices based on data extracted from the energy relevant devices, direct the energy relevant devices to operate at the power set points, determine whether the flexibility request is terminated, and recursively update the optimized power set points if the flexibility request is not terminated.
