Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for distributed control of thermostatic electric loads (TELs) including receiving at an energy gateway, a demand response event signal and receiving real-time measurements of a temperature value and a power consumption value corresponding to a temperature setting of a plurality of TELs. The method retrieving historical data from pre-determined load profiles for the TELs and comparing load profiles and real-time measurements to determine a first consumption trajectory. Further, coordinating temperature settings of at least two TELs to generate a second consumption trajectory corresponding to the demand response event signal.
