Abstract
Systems and methods to manage power consumption of a building and storage by controlling a refrigeration system within the building are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive input defining an average power target and a time interval; determine system information characterizing a refrigeration system; determine build information characterizing power usage of a building that includes the refrigeration system; determine precooling control actions based on the system information, the average power target, and the time interval; determine load shedding control actions based on the system information, the average power target, and the time interval; generate a control schedule for the refrigeration system to effectuate the precooling control actions and/or load shedding control actions based on the average power target, the time interval, and the building information; and effectuate the precooling control actions and/or load shedding control actions for the refrigeration system in accordance with the control schedule.
