Abstract

A demand response determination apparatus and a demand response determination method thereof are provided. The demand response determination apparatus connects to an electric power system via a network. The demand response determination apparatus receives power consumption information from the electric power system and decides a power consumption mode of the electric power system according to the power consumption information. The demand response determination apparatus calculates demanded power according to the power consumption mode and determines whether the demanded power exceeds a power consumption threshold. The demand response determination apparatus informs the electric power system to unload electric power equipment when the demanded power exceeds the power consumption threshold.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A demand response determination method for a demand response determination apparatus, the demand response determination apparatus being connected to an electric power system via a network, the demand response determination method comprising the steps of:

(a) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to receive at least one piece of power consumption information from the electric power system;
(b) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to decide a power consumption mode of the electric power system according to the at least one piece of power consumption information;
(c) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to calculate demanded power according to the power consumption mode;
and
(d) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to determine whether the demanded power exceeds a power consumption threshold, wherein if the demanded power exceeds the power consumption threshold, then the demand response determination apparatus transmits to the electric power system an over-consumption message which informs the electric power system to unload electric power equipment.

2 more elements

A demand response determination apparatus, being connected to an electric power system via a network, the demand response determination apparatus comprising:

a memory, being configured to store a power consumption threshold;
a transceiver, being configured to receive at least one piece of power consumption information from the electric power system;
and
a processor, being configured to decide a power consumption mode of the electric power system according to the at least one piece of power consumption information and calculate demanded power according to the power consumption mode;
wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether the demanded power exceeds the power consumption threshold, and if the demanded power exceeds the power consumption threshold, then the processor further transmits an over-consumption message, which informs the electric power system to unload electric power equipment, to the electric power system via the transceiver.
