Abstract:
A method for dispatching buildings, including: generating data sets, each having energy values along with corresponding time and outside temperature values, wherein the energy values are shifted by one of a plurality of lag values relative to the corresponding time and outside temperature values; performing a non-linear parabolic analysis on the each of the data sets; determining a least valued residual that indicates a corresponding energy lag for each of the buildings, the corresponding energy lag describes a transient energy consumption period preceding a change in outside temperature; using outside temperatures, model parameters, and energy lags for all of the buildings to estimate a cumulative energy consumption for the buildings, and to predict a dispatch order reception time for the demand response program event; and employing the dispatch order reception time to prepare actions required to control the each of the buildings to optimally shed energy specified in a dispatch order.

Claim (Index 1):
A demand response dispatch prediction system, comprising:\n a building lag optimizer, configured to receive identifiers for buildings participating in a demand response program, and configured to generate energy use data sets for each of said buildings, each of said energy use data sets comprising energy consumption values along with corresponding time and outside temperature values, wherein said energy consumption values within said each of said energy use data sets are shifted by one of a plurality of lag values relative to said corresponding time and outside temperature values, and wherein each of said plurality of lag values is different from other ones of said plurality of lag values, and configured to perform a non-linear parabolic analysis on said each of said energy use data sets to yield corresponding non-linear parabolic model parameters and a corresponding residual, and configured to determine a least valued residual from all residuals yielded, said least valued residual indicating a corresponding energy lag for said each of said buildings, and non-linear parabolic model parameters that correspond to said least valued residual, and wherein said corresponding energy lag describes a transient energy consumption period preceding a change in outside temperature; a dispatch prediction element, coupled to said building lag optimizer and to weather stores, configured to receive, for each of said buildings, outside temperatures, said corresponding energy lag, and said corresponding non-linear parabolic model parameters, and configured to estimate a cumulative energy consumption for said buildings, and configured to predict a dispatch order reception time for a demand response program event; and a dispatch control element, coupled to said dispatch prediction element, configured to receive said dispatch order reception time, and configured to prepare actions required to control said each of said buildings to optimally shed energy specified in a corresponding dispatch order.
