Demand response determination apparatus and method for determining a power threshold using an over-consumption false positive rate and unloading electric power equipment when the power threshold is exceeded

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 a demanded power according to the power consumption mode;
• (d1) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to determine a plurality of over-consumption false positive rates corresponding to a plurality of preset electric power thresholds according to the demanded power calculated based on the power consumption mode;
• (d2) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to decide at least one first over-consumption false positive rate from the plurality of over-consumption false positive rates, wherein the at least one first over-consumption false positive rate is smaller than a preset over-consumption false positive rate;
• (d3) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to determine that a maximum rate of the at least one first over-consumption false positive rate is a second over-consumption false positive rate;
• (d4) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to determine a primary electric power threshold corresponding to the second over-consumption false positive rate, wherein the primary electric power threshold is a power consumption threshold;
• and
• (d5) enabling the demand response determination apparatus to determine whether the demanded power exceeds the 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.
