Abstract:
An incentive-based demand response (DR) method and system are provided from the view of a grid operator (GO) to enable system-level dispatch of DR resources. The method spans three hierarchical levels of a GO, multiple service providers (SPs), and corresponding customers. The GO first posts an incentive to SPs, who will then invoke sub-programs with enrolled customers to negotiate quantities of demand reduction via providing SP incentives. In view of the hierarchical decision-making structure, a two-loop Stackelberg game is proposed to capture interactions between different actors. The existence of a unique Stackelberg equilibrium that provides optimal system solutions is demonstrated. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective in helping compensate system resource deficiency at minimum cost.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a communication network analysis apparatus in a multi-layered communication system and a method using the apparatus, and more specifically, to a communication network analysis apparatus in a building automation and control system, a communication method using the apparatus, and a protocol conversion method.A communication network analysis system according to the present invention is a BACnet MS/TP communication network analysis system including at least one BACnet MS/TP node connected to a BACnet MS/TP communication network and a BACnet visual test shell (VTS) for monitoring the BACnet MS/TP communication network. The system comprises a monitoring node for performing a first filtering on a frame received from the BACnet MS/TP communication network, configuring a monitoring frame by adding a monitoring frame header to the received frame on which the first filtering is performed, and transmitting a frame corresponding to a message created in the BACnet VTS to the BACnet MS/TP communication network; and a monitoring module for receiving the monitoring frame from the monitoring node, performing a second filtering on the received monitoring frame, outputting a result of the second filtering, transmitting a part of the monitoring frame on which the second filtering is performed to the BACnet VTS, receiving a message from the BACnet VTS, determining a destination address of the BACnet MS/TP communication network to which the received message is transferred, configuring an MS/TP frame on the basis of the received message and the destination address, and transmitting the configured MS/TP frame to the monitoring node.
