Demand Responsive Devices Database Change Load Conditions Grid Conditions Are Not Normal Commands Attributes and Behavior Demand Responsive Devices and Access Paths Aggregator AMI Load Curtailment Commands

  3. DRACS Components • Demand Responsive Devices and behavior database • Requires import functionality for DR devices and behavior • Distributed Resource Analysis Engine • Visualization

  4. DRACS Distributed Resource Analysis Engine • Description: Scenario evaluator that exercises algorithms based on historical and simulated human behavior, network status, attributes, and latencies • Inputs • Scenario(s) from BROADR • Demand Responsive Devices database • DR/customer capacities • DR/customer historical behavior • Network status and load information • Outputs • Confidence of meeting load management request

  5. DRACS Demand Responsive Devices Database Component • Description: Database incorporating DR device attributes, historical human behavior, and network characteristics • Device discovery, maintain device directory • Library of available Demand-Responsive devices • Device type • Consumer • Generator • Both • Device Maximum Capacity • Access Point Address • Meter GUID • Device Address • Aggregator • Previous human behavior responses to DR events • Network characteristics

  6. DRACS Visualization Component • Description: Provide visualization capability of real time data and drill down capability for demand responsive devices • Inputs: • Load parameters from SCADA historian • Network information • Devices from database • Outputs • Plots • Google Map-like representation of DR landscape

  7. Backup Slides

  8. Other Information to Capture and Include in DRACS model • Price Signal • Implementation Technology • Manual • PCT • Direct Load Control • Home EMS • Climate Zone • Temperature • Customer Type • Time of Day • Past History
