How it works

marketBid curve power Bid curve power

AppliancesCalculate energy need

Send bid on how much energy at what price

Auctioneer calculates price where supply=demand

Sends back market price

Appliance switched on if in the money

The cool part

• You decide if/how/when someone else controls equipment

• Market knows how much flexibility is available

• No unexpected lost comfort or mismanagement of devices

• Works in your home just as good as for a (local) market

8

The tricky part

• You need a standard format for the (energy) bid

• Fitting it in millions of appliances means it should cost next to nothing

• Appliances manufacturers and energy providers need to cooperate
