Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR), an
XML-based information exchange model, is used to facilitate
continuous price-responsive operation and demand response
participation for large commercial buildings in New York who
are subject to the default day-ahead hourly pricing. We
summarize the existing demand response programs in New York
and discuss OpenADR communication, prioritization of demand
response signals, and control methods. Building energy
simulation models are developed and field tests are conducted to
evaluate continuous energy management and demand response
capabilities of two commercial buildings in New York City.
Preliminary results reveal that providing machine-readable
prices to commercial buildings can facilitate both demand
response participation and continuous energy cost savings.
Hence, efforts should be made to develop more sophisticated
algorithms for building control systems to minimize customer's
utility bill based on price and reliability information from the
electricity grid.
