    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is a system including nanogrid controller configured to receive power bids each including a power magnitude value and a bid value from a plurality of resource controllers, evaluate the power bids to determine resource control commands for respective resource controllers and a power bid feedback value, and transmit the resource control commands and a power bid feedback value to the plurality of resource controllers. The plurality of resource controllers are configured to generate and transmit the power bids to the nanogrid controller, receive the resource control command and in response thereto at least one of shed or restore one or more of the power loads and control a supply power from one or more of the power sources, and receive the power bid feedback value and in response thereto generate an updated power bid and transmit the updated power bid to the nanogrid controller.

    Abstract: A method for performing energy management for a building includes generating a stack of energy loads representative of a plurality of building energy loads. The energy loads are prioritized from highest priority energy loads to lowest priority energy loads. The prioritized energy loads are then compared to a building power threshold. The lowest priority energy loads are shed until a sum of remaining energy loads is equal to or less than the building power threshold. The remaining energy loads are serviced. The processes of prioritizing the energy loads, comparing the prioritized energy loads to a building power threshold, and shedding the lowest priority energy loads is repeated in response to changes in circumstances affecting the building.

    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of building power management are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a load management controller and a power circuit interrupter. The load management controller is configured to repeatedly perform a first test wherein a time rate of change of temperature of building regions is determined, repeatedly perform a second test wherein a lighting controller is operated to rank a plurality of lighting loads according to ambient light of building regions associated with the plurality of lighting loads, assign the plurality of HVACR loads and lighting loads to a plurality of load shed groups, and reduce power consumption by the plurality of HVACR loads and the plurality of lighting loads in order of the ranked load shed groups effective to minimize occupant perceptibility of the power consumption reduction while implementing the operator specified priority criteria.

    Abstract: A system for managing the load profile of an electric network is provided. The system includes: a plurality of loads, and each respective load of the plurality of loads is assigned a priority, an energy storage system, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a predicted energy usage of the electric network at an end of a time period, based on comparing the predicted energy usage to a target energy usage, determine an adjustment of the plurality of loads based on the respective priority of each respective load. Based on the adjustment of the plurality of loads and a charge of the energy storage system, the controller dynamically assigns a priority to the energy storage system, and performs the adjustment of the plurality of loads and the energy storage system using the respective priority of each respective load and the dynamically assigned priority of the energy storage system.
