  • Patent number: 10559044
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to systems and methods for calculating a peak consumption threshold, and for using the peak consumption threshold to determine the likelihood of future peak resource consumption events. In some aspects, methods of the subject technology include steps for receiving resource consumption data for a plurality of utility customers, wherein the resource consumption data comprises an indication of an amount of electric power used by each of the plurality of utility customers, and calculating, using the one or more processors, a plurality of consumption averages for the resource consumption data. In some aspects, the method can further include steps for calculating a peak consumption threshold based on the consumption values for the resource consumption data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160140586
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using substation meter data in one or more applications related behavior demand response are provided. In one example application, substation meter data may be used to assess the efficacy of a demand response campaign. In a second example application, substation meter data may be used to provide comparisons of demand response performances of neighborhoods. These applications may be applied independently or in combination.

  • Publication number: 20150310465
    Abstract: A behavioral demand response (BDR) system can be implemented to encourage reductions in resource consumption. To accomplish this, consumption reports detailing resource consumption can be generated and transmitted to consumers to encourage resource consumption. For example, a resource consumption report can be generated and transmitted to consumers prior to an identified peak resource consumption event or “peak event” to notify the consumers of the upcoming peak event and request that the consumer reduce resource consumption before/during the peak event. To encourage the consumer to reduce their resource consumption, the resource consumption report can include details regarding the consumer's resource consumption ranking relative to similarly situated consumers.
