Automated Demand Response

Overview

ColorTouch thermostats support the handling of specific signals from the utility provider. The utility generated signals carry pricing information and/or setback actions that alter the comfort settings of the thermostat in order to reduce energy usage on demand. This is known as Automated Demand Response or ADR for short. You must register to participate in a utility sponsored program, if offered by your local utility, to take advantage of this feature.

SKYPORT CLOUD SERVICES From the web application the user will select Thermostat Settings from the left column. Then the Demand Response button is selected.

Main Menu Buttons - Settings
The Demand Response configuration page, shown below, is where the thermostat is configured to respond to the energy provider's signals. It also sets operational parameters for the thermostat. The left column of the ADR configuration page allows or prevents access by the utility. Here communication with the utility and your thermostat may be turned On or Off. The selected utility will provide a Program ID. The Account ID would normally be the occupants utility account number.

The right column of the ADR configuration page is where the occupant adjusts the operational parameters for ADR. The utility may send up to 3 types of ADR signals to Skyport. These are: 1) Pricing for the cost of energy, 2) An Offset to the occupants' comfort setpoints, and 3) a signal to enforce discrete or Static setpoints. The Maximum Cooling Setpoint and Minimum Heating Setpoints for ADR events are adjusted here. The Static Settings are applied when the utility sends a signal to allow the occupant to enforce their own discrete temperature settings during an ADR event. The Offset Settings allow the utility to modify the Cool or Heat setpoints by the value set here during an ADR event. A Price Trigger setting allows the occupant to set the maximum cost of energy threshold. When this threshold is exceeded the Price dependent action is enforced. This Price Trigger and Dependent action is enforced independent of an ADR event, as long as the utility sends `real-time' pricing.

Selecting the `Price Dependent Action' button allows the user to determine what action is taken when the price rises above the set threshold.
In the above example; if the price threshold is exceeded, the thermostat will invoke the `Offset Setpoints' configured for an ADR event until the event is over. Please note that the Threshold price may only be set in the Skyport Cloud Services account. Selecting `Skip Event' will take no action when the set price threshold is exceeded.
