An example operation includes one or more of determining a modified use of energy by an entity, based on a current environmental factor, and providing an energy offset to the entity based on the modified use. The offset derives an alternate benefit to overcome a negative balance by another entity.

Disclosed is a device for the certified measurement of electric parameters and customers' flexibility behaviour, and for communicating with a distribution system operator, comprises a System on Module, or SoM, a Certification Module, a Customer Communication Module and a Communication Module.

A system for transferring energy based on predicted outages is described herein.

A method, a system, a storage medium and an electronic device for peer-to-peer electricity trading based on a double-layer blockchain. Provided herein relates to electricity trading. This application includes a bulk grid blockchain and a plurality of microgrid blockchains and puts forward a double-layer blockchain technology. The energy consumption plan or the energy supply plan of the trading subjects shall preferentially perform a first power dispatching-matching and a second power dispatching-matching on the microgrid blockchain, and the unsatisfied energy consumption plan or the remaining energy supply plan is uploaded to large power grid blockchain for a third power dispatching-matching.

A distributed energy resource (DER) device is coupled to a utility meter in a “behind-the-meter” configuration. The utility meter analyzes a commitment generated by the DER device to determine a specific operation performed by the DER device at a particular time. The utility meter analyzes metrology data to identify an “event” associated with the particular time and then attempts to map the identified event back to the DER device based on a library of events associated with different DER devices. The utility meter also attempts to map the identified event to the specific operation set forth in the commitment. If the utility meter can successfully map the identified event to both the DER device and to the specific operation set forth in the commitment, then the utility meter generates a validated commitment. The validated commitment can be used to facilitate an energy market settlement process.

A power management system includes a plurality of power adjustment resources electrically connected to a microgrid MG, and a CEMS server that manages the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server outputs a power adjustment request to a plurality of power adjustment resources when suppression of power consumption or consumption of surplus power is requested in the microgrid MG, and gives an incentive to the power adjustment resource that performs power adjustment in response to the power adjustment request among the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server increases the incentive more as a deviation of a second power amount adjusted by a responding resource with respect to a first power amount requested for adjustment by the power adjustment request is smaller.

A power management system includes a plurality of power adjustment resources electrically connected to a microgrid MG, and a CEMS server that manages the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server outputs a power adjustment request to the power adjustment resources when suppression of power consumption or consumption of surplus power in the microgrid MG is requested, and gives an incentive to a “responding resource” as the power adjustment resource that performs power adjustment in response to the power adjustment request among the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server increases the incentive more as a deviation of a time period during which the power adjustment is performed by the responding resource, with respect to a time period determined in the power adjustment request is smaller.

A method and a system for energy scheduling of shared energy storage considering degradation cost of energy storage. Provided herein relates to energy scheduling for multiple microgrids. The method includes: acquiring energy data of each of microgrids in a multi-microgrid system of shared energy storage; establishing a peer-to-peer trading model between each of the microgrids; establishing a shared energy storage trading model between the multi-microgrid system and the shared energy storage device thereof; establishing a utility grid trading model between the multi-microgrid system and the utility grid thereof; and based on the peer-to-peer trading model, the shared energy storage trading model and the utility grid trading model, setting an objective of minimizing a total operating cost of the multi-microgrid system, and solving an objective function corresponding to the objective to acquire power data of each of the microgrids at each stage.

A bid assistance system for assisting a power transaction related to a power adjustment of a power grid at a transaction target time comprises a receiver configured to receive, from two or more facility terminals belonging respectively to or more facilities including at least a control target equipment controllable by a management entity, bid information corresponding to the transaction target time. a management unit for managing an adjustable power corresponding to the transaction target time for each of the two or more facilities, and a controller for determining, from among the two or more facilities, a candidate for a bid facility for a power transaction market based on the bid information and the adjustable power. The bid information includes a value for use of the control target equipment. The adjustable power is a power of the power grid that is adjustable by controlling the control target equipment.

A method, system and apparatus are provided for optimized load shaping for optimizing production and consumption of energy. Information signals indicative of a first load shape signal are obtained corresponding to a total load, a renewable energy load of one or more renewable energy sources and a non-renewable energy load of one or more non-renewable energy sources. The first load shape signal corresponding to renewable energy load is removed from a non-renewable energy load to obtain a resulting load shape signal. The resulting load shape is flattened signal by apportioning the resulting load shape signal across time intervals to obtain a flattened load shape signal. At least a portion of the first component corresponding to the renewable energy load is added to the flattened load shape signal to create an optimized load shape signal. The optimized load shape signal is provided to modulate electric loads of energy-consuming devices.
