Customer Services - RTP Customer's Optimization Function
Contents
The DER Device management system controls the
DER Device (s) according to the DER Device schedule. The
customer’s Customer Building Automation System receives the RTP
signals from the Energy Service Provider and performs
optimizations on the best mix of load reductions and DER Device
function based on the customer’s criteria. At the beginning of
each interval, the Customer Building Automation System sends the
appropriate commands to the DER Device Manager to initiate the DER
Device functions for that interval. The DER Device Manger
processes those commands, initiates the DER Device utilization and
monitors the DER Device (s) for compliance with commands. Any
failure to produce the scheduled DER Device results in an alarm
broadcasted to the Customer Building Automation System where the
customer can take appropriate action. The monitored DER Device
activity is made available in real-time to the Customer Building
Automation System where the data can be made available to the
customer and Energy Service Provider.
In addition to RTP responses, the Customer
Building Automation System may bid into the energy and ancillary
services markets if all business constraints are first met. If these
bids are accepted, additional commands may be set to the DER Device
management system to implement those bids. The Customer Building
Automation System will monitor the response to insure the bid services
are supplied.
The Energy Service Provider is responsible for
monitoring DER Device facilities while operating to ensure power
quality constraints are met, and to help manage emergency situations
(detailed in the Advanced Distribution Automation Use Cases).
