Abstract
Techniques for performing an emissions demand response event are described. In an example, a power control server system receives an emissions rate forecast for a predefined future time period. Using the emissions rate forecast, an emissions rate event is identified during the predefined future time period. Based on the plurality of emissions rate event, an emissions demand response event is generated during the predefined future time period. The power control server system then causes a power controller to modify an energy consumption by an electronic device in accordance with the generated emissions demand response event.
Claims20
A method for performing an emissions demand response event, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a power control server system, an emissions rate forecast for a predefined future time period;
- identifying, by the power control server system, using the emissions rate forecast, an emissions rate event during the predefined future time period;
- generating, by the power control server system, based on the emissions rate event, an emissions demand response event having a start time and an end time during the predefined future time period;
- and
- causing, by the power control server system, a power controller to modify an energy consumption by an electronic device in accordance with the emissions demand response event.
A system for performing an emissions demand response event, the system comprising:
- a power control server system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive an emissions rate forecast for a predefined future time period;
- identify, using the emissions rate forecast, an emissions rate event during the predefined future time period;
- generate based on the emissions rate event, an emissions demand response event having a start time and an end time during the predefined future time period;
- and
- cause a power controller to modify an energy consumption by an electronic device in accordance with the emissions demand response event.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:
- receive an emissions rate forecast for a predefined future time period;
- identify, using the emissions rate forecast, an emissions rate event during the predefined future time period;
- generate based on the emissions rate event, an emissions demand response event having a start time and an end time during the predefined future time period;
- and
- cause a power controller to modify an energy consumption by an electronic device in accordance with the emissions demand response event.
