指出，在实时定价（RTP）下，建筑物用电的优化和自动调度需要综合监控、计算和通信能力，而非传统的当今实践。根据开发和实施基于RTP的控制系统的经验，描述了基于RTP的能源管理系统的一般要求，该系统用于在多个商业建筑中进行储存加热和冷却。描述了数据记录/控制系统的总体结构、数据类型、数据收集、存储和数据处理的在线交互，以及在负荷预测中使用数据的方式，以及优化建筑物对RTP速率的响应。关键词:建筑、电力消耗、自动、优化、监测、计算、冷却、能源管理、办公室、商业、储热、储能、定价:ASHRAE Trans。 1992年，第98卷，第1部分，论文编号AN-92-15-3，1160-1170，图2，表8，参考文献。

States that optimal and automatic scheduling of electricity use in buildings under real-time pricing (RTP) requires integrated monitoring, computing and communications capabilities beyond the conventional present-day practice. Describes the general requirements of the RTP-based energy management system based on experience with the development and implementation of an RTP-based control system for storage heating and cooling in a number of commercial buildings. Describes the overall structure of the data logging/control system, data types, on-line interaction of data collection, storage and data processing and the way data are utilised in load prediction plus the optimisation of building response to RTP rates.KEYWORDS: Buildings, electricity consumption, automatic, optimum, monitoring, calculating, cooling, energy management, offices, commercial, storage heating, energy storage, pricing
