Abstract
Embodiments provide systems, methods and apparatus for effecting a demand response (DR) event by providing a demand response management system (DRMS) communicatively coupled to a plurality of participant sites, the DRMS including an aggregation engine having a rules-based function operative to generate an aggregation of the participant sites for a DR event using inclusion criteria that includes a custom field, wherein business objects (BOs) are used to represent the participant sites and other related entities (e.g., participants, enrollments, service delivery points (SDPs), etc.) and the BOs store core characteristics of the participant sites and the other related entities in core fields, and wherein the custom field is associated with a BO but the definition and content of the custom field is stored external to the associated BO; generating the aggregation using the inclusion criteria; and executing the DR event on the aggregation. Numerous other aspects are provided.
