Aggregator System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18568033 titled 'Aggregator System
The abstract describes a system that provides control instructions related to electric power consumption to consumers based on variations in power generation by a power supply company. The system predicts adjustable amounts of received power for each consumer facility and outputs control instructions to adjust power consumption accordingly.
- The system predicts adjustment power for each consumer facility based on received power and outputs control instructions for power adjustment.
- The system also provides DR instructions, which are demand/supply adjustment instructions from the power supply company.
- The control instructions are tailored to each facility's predicted adjustment power, optimizing power consumption.
- The system helps balance demand and supply of electric power, ensuring efficient utilization of resources.
- By adjusting power consumption based on predictions and instructions, the system contributes to overall energy efficiency and sustainability.
Potential Applications: - Energy management systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings - Demand response programs for utilities and grid operators - Smart grid technologies for optimizing power distribution
Problems Solved: - Inefficient power consumption by consumers - Lack of coordination between power supply and demand - Inability to predict and adjust power consumption at the facility level
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Reduced peak demand on the grid - Cost savings for consumers and utilities - Enhanced grid reliability and stability
Commercial Applications: Title: Smart Energy Management System for Demand Response Optimization This technology can be used in smart home devices, building automation systems, and industrial control systems to optimize power consumption and participate in demand response programs. It has implications for energy service providers, equipment manufacturers, and sustainability consultants.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system predict adjustment power for each consumer facility? 2. What are the potential cost savings for consumers and utilities through this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
An aggregator system outputting a control instruction relating to electric power to a consumer consuming electric power, in accordance with a variation of a power generation amount of a power supply company, the aggregator system predicting adjustment power that is an adjustable amount of received power according to each of facilities of the consumer and outputting a control instruction for adjusting received power to each of the facilities on the basis of the predicted adjustment power of each of the facilities and a DR instruction that is a demand/supply adjustment instruction for the electric power from the power supply company.
