Abstract
An approach for normalizing automated demand response events in energy management and control systems. The normalizing may be of events having disparate communication protocols and data formats. There may be a processing engine for each unique protocol or data format. When event data are received, they may be normalized into a standard format which can be utilized by an energy management and control system to initiate a pre-programmed demand response strategy. In other words, using an auto demand response service with its normalized event information, standard response strategies may be developed. The auto demand response service and standard strategies may then be deployed across an entire multi-site enterprise regardless of the auto demand response service provider servicing a particular site. There appears no need to modify the demand response strategy because the auto demand response service may handle a transformation of the auto demand response system's event data.
