SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWER LOAD SHEDDING ASSOCIATED WITH A DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM

摘要

A system and method for power load shedding assessment associated with a demand response program, including: setting a power load shedding target; analyzing data related to power consumption of a system; determining a configuration of a plurality of virtual switches associated with a corresponding plurality of physical switches, where each of the plurality of physical switches is configured to control power consumption of at least one load of a plurality of loads of the system; simulating a power load shedding event based on the setup of a plurality of virtual switches and the analyzed data related to power consumption; and adjusting the configuration of the virtual switches when results of the simulating of a power load shedding event are not consistent with the power load shedding target.
