Abstract
A mechanism for determining device participation in an energy management program is provided. The mechanism includes a network operations center (NOC) and a device accountability system. The (NOC) commands one or more energy control devices to change one or more states responsive to energy management program events, where the one or more energy control devices respond to the NOC to indicate changed one or more states. The device accountability system is coupled to the NOC, and intercepts commands/responses from/to the NOC, and creates a time-correlated model comprising program participation parameters for each of the one or more energy control devices, where the time-correlated model is based upon message characteristics for the commands/responses, device data for the one or more energy control devices, and NOC data corresponding to the energy management program events and operator intervention events.
