Renewable energy technologies, together with advances in energy efficiency, are being used globally to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to relieve the energy crisis brought on by the depletion of fossil fuels. Representing a growing part of the smart grid model for the electric power industry, renewable and distributed energy resource (DER) units such as photovoltaic (PV) panels or electric vehicles, will be connected to the power distribution systems in increasing numbers. They are used as an enhancement of the traditional electric power grid to provide high-quality, reliable electricity at the utility customer sites. Existing power distributions systems, however, impose several constraints on DER interconnection because of safety, economics, and lack of knowledge and tools to support large-scale integration of DER. Significant research is required to mitigate the gap between the characteristics of DER such as variability, uncertainty and distribution, and the restricted grid operation and regulation standards of utilities. Within this context of DER integration challenges, this research program proposes a grid-edge demand response (DR) energy management system (EMS) solution designed for neighborhood homes, to realize the full potential for extracting the latent capacity and performance available in home energy systems with DER on a real-time basis. The solution aims to bridge home energy management systems (HEMS) with the grid to uphold grid integrity i.e., energy supply-demand balance, plus infrastructure dynamic capacity and optimal health aspects. Elements of the proposed DR system include HEMS agent (HA), grid-edge agent (GA), utility back office and the communication system. The intent with this novel project is to explore the optimization of grid capacity management within localized areas through negotiation between devices that use or produce electricity. The outcomes of the to be lab-proven DR-EMS solution will bring value to many more stakeholders like electricity customers, business developers, transmitters, market operators, and especially the utilities.

全球正在利用可再生能源技术以及能源效率方面的进步来减少温室气体排放，缓解化石燃料枯竭所带来的能源危机。代表电力行业智能电网模式的一个不断增长的部分，可再生和分布式能源（DER）单元，如光伏（PV）面板或电动汽车，将越来越多地连接到配电系统。它们被用作传统电网的增强，为公用事业客户提供高质量，可靠的电力。然而，由于安全性、经济性以及缺乏支持DER的大规模集成的知识和工具，现有的配电系统对DER互连施加了若干限制。需要进行大量研究，以缩小变化性、不确定性和分布性等DER特征与公用事业有限的电网运行和监管标准之间的差距。在DER集成挑战的背景下，该研究计划提出了一种为社区家庭设计的电网边缘需求响应（DR）能源管理系统（EMS）解决方案，以实现实时提取DER家庭能源系统中可用的潜力和性能的全部潜力。该解决方案旨在将家庭能源管理系统（HEMS）与电网连接起来，以维护电网的完整性，即，能源供需平衡，加上基础设施动态能力和最佳健康方面。建议的DR系统的元素包括HEMS代理（HA），网格边缘代理（GA），公用事业后台和通信系统。这个新颖项目的目的是通过使用或生产电力的设备之间的协商来探索局部区域内电网容量管理的优化。经过实验室验证的DR-EMS解决方案的成果将为更多的利益相关者带来价值，如电力客户，业务开发人员，发射机，市场运营商，特别是公用事业。
