    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention assist customers in managing the four types of energy assets, that is, generation, storage, usage, and controllable load assets. Embodiments of the present invention for the first time develop and predict a customer baseline (“CBL”) usage of electricity, using a predictive model based on simulation of energy assets, based on business as usual (“BAU”) of the customer's facility. The customer is provided with options for operating schedules based on algorithms, which allow the customer to maximize the economic return on its generation assets, its storage assets, and its load control assets. Embodiments of the invention enable the grid to verify that the customer has taken action to control load in response to price. This embodiment of the invention calculates the amount of energy that the customer would have consumed, absent any reduction of use made in response to price. Specifically, the embodiment models the usage of all the customer's electricity consuming devices, based on the customer's usual conditions. This model of the expected consumption can then be compared to actual actions taken by the customer, and the resulting consumption levels, to verify that the customer has reduced consumption and is entitled to payment for the energy that was not consumed.

    Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例帮助客户管理四种类型的能量资产，即生成，存储，使用和可控的负载资产。 本发明的实施例首先基于客户设施的通常的业务（“BAU”），使用基于能量资产的模拟的预测模型来开发和预测用电基准（“CBL”）。 为客户提供基于算法运行计划的选项，使客户能够最大限度地发挥其发电资产，其存储资产和负载控制资产的经济回报。 本发明的实施例使得电网能够验证客户已经采取行动来响应于价格来控制负载。 本发明的这个实施例计算消费者能够消耗的能量的量，没有任何根据价格作出的使用减少。 具体地，本实施例基于客户的通常情况来模拟所有客户的电力消耗装置的使用。 然后可以将该预期消费模型与客户采取的实际行动以及由此产生的消费水平进行比较，以验证客户已经减少了消费并有权为未消费的能源付款。

    Abstract: The disclosure facilitates management data center utilization for generating energy-related revenue from energy markets. Operating schedules are generated, over a time period (T), for operation of an energy management system of energy assets of data center sites. Since CPU utilization (or computing load) can be correlated to energy consumption, the operating schedules can cause the energy management system to modulate the CPU utilization (or computing load) of energy assets within a data center, or to indicate shifting of CPU utilization (or computing load) from one data center site in a certain energy market price region to another data center site in a different energy market price region. When implemented, the generated operating schedules facilitates derivation of the energy-related revenue, over a time period (T), associated with operation of the energy assets according to the generated operating schedule.

    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods are described that can be used to generate an operating schedule for a controller of an energy storage asset that is in communication with a transport vehicle, based on an optimization process. The operating schedule is generated based on an operation characteristic of the energy storage asset, an energy-generating capacity of the transport vehicle in communication with the energy storage asset based on a motion of the transport vehicle, and a price associated with a market (including a regulation market and/or an energy market). Operation of the energy storage asset according to the generated operating schedule facilitates derivation of energy-related revenue, over a time period T. The energy-related revenue available to the energy customer over the time period T is based at least in part on the regulation market and/or the energy market.
