Building Energy Optimization System With Economic Load Demand Response (eldr) Optimization And Eldr User Interfaces

An energy optimization system for a building includes a processing circuit configured to generate a user interface including an indication of one or more economic load demand response (ELDR) operation parameters, one or more first participation hours, and a first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours. The processing circuit is configured to receive one or more overrides of the one or more first participation hours from the user interface, generate one or more second participation hours, a second load reduction amount for each of the one or more second participation hours, and one or more second equipment loads for the one or more pieces of building equipment based on the received one or more overrides, and operate the one or more pieces of building equipment to affect an environmental condition of the building based on the one or more second equipment loads.

3 Independent Claims

1. An energy optimization system for a building, the system comprising: a processing circuit configured to: perform an optimization to generate one or more first participation hours and a first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; generate a user interface comprising an indication of one or more economic load demand response (ELDR) operation parameters for an ELDR program, the one or more first participation hours, and the first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; receive one or more overrides of the one or more first participation hours from the user interface; perform the optimization a second time to generate one or more second participation hours for participating in the ELDR program, a second load reduction amount for each of the one or more second participation hours, and one or more second equipment loads for the one or more pieces of building equipment based on the received one or more overrides; and operate the one or more pieces of building equipment to affect an environmental condition of the building based on the one or more second equipment loads.
10. A method for optimizing energy use of a building, the method comprising: performing an optimization to generate one or more first participation hours and a first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; generating a user interface comprising an indication of one or more economic load demand response (ELDR) operation parameters for an ELDR program, the one or more first participation hours, and the first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; receiving one or more overrides of the one or more first participation hours from the user interface; performing the optimization a second time to generate one or more second participation hours for participating in the ELDR program, a second load reduction amount for each of the one or more second participation hours, and one or more second equipment loads for the one or more pieces of building equipment based on the received one or more overrides; and operating the one or more pieces of building equipment to affect an environmental condition of the building based on the one or more second equipment loads.
18. An energy optimization controller for a building, the controller comprising: a processing circuit configured to: perform an optimization to generate one or more first participation hours and a first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; generate a user interface comprising an indication of one or more economic load demand response (ELDR) operation parameters for an ELDR program, the one or more first participation hours, and the first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours, wherein the user interface comprises: a first interface element indicating values for the one or more ELDR parameters; and a second interface element indicating the one or more first participation hours and the first load reduction amount for each of the one or more first participation hours; receive one or more overrides of the one or more first participation hours from the user interface; perform the optimization a second time to generate one or more second participation hours for participating in the ELDR program, a second load reduction amount for each of the one or more second participation hours, and one or more second equipment loads for the one or more pieces of building equipment based on the received one or more overrides; and operate the one or more pieces of building equipment to affect an environmental condition of the building based on the one or more second equipment loads.
