Standing Bids

There is a number of different things that seem to be the same:

1. in the case of a level 1 Grid Integrity event, I have a mandatory requirement to turn off half of everything; if I fail to do so, the grid has the right to disconnect my meter

2. in the case of a level 2 Grid Integrity event, I have a mandatory requirement to turn off everything; if I fail to do so, the grid has the right to disconnect my meter

3. in the case of a “Code Lavender”, I agree to shed half my power. By participating in Lavender Events, I receive access to the discounted prices all the time

4. If you offer me a dollar, I will always shed a KW

5. If you offer me two, I will shed another KW else as well.

6. I have 25 other KWs that I would be willing to haggle over

7. I could perform some other defined acts if we haggle

We are calling only 4 & 5 “standing bids”, but I cannot tell the difference between them—I think they are all the same thing.

Each of them has a size of load or a process to implement. WE could opt to shed the defined processes from the list to simplify. Each may have a lead time specified. Each may have time or date limits on the offering, as opposed to the transaction

This approach also has the advantage that is makes an [office park] configured as a microgrid to very easily aggregate responses from the buildings configured as microgrids that it contains.

We could call them Offerings. Or something else as specified.
