Regional energy management system considering demand response

In order to support the development of the smart grid and the demand side management, this paper designs and implements a regional energy management system (R-EMS) considering demand response (DR). The R-EMS can realize the information linkage between the regional energy management and single-point energy management. Firstly, the design requirements and architecture of the system are proposed. And then three core functions and the realization method are described. Finally, a summary about the whole work is made. The system proposed supports multi-dimensional analysis and knowledge mining about mass electricity data, and has excellent features of standard access, information sharing and high reliability which will play an important role in the development of smart grid.
