Abstract
An energy optimization system for participating in a capacity market program (CMP) includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a nominated capacity value, generate an objective function and one or more CMP constraints, wherein the one or more CMP constraints cause an optimization of the objective function with the CMP constraints to generate a resource allocation that reduces the load of the facility by the nominated capacity value in response to receiving the dispatch from the utility, receive the dispatch from the utility, optimize the objective function based on the nominated capacity value, the dispatch, and the one or more CMP constraints to determine the resource allocation, and control one or more pieces of building equipment based on the determined resource allocation.
