METHOD FOR FORMING A DEMAND-RESPONSE RESOURCE AND AN AGGREGATED SYSTEM FOR RESPONDING TO A BALANCING DEMAND

Method (1000) for forming a demand-response resource to an electricity market zone (10) and/or combined market zones (20), wherein the method (1000) comprises steps of
- providing (1100) electric units (EM-1, ..., EM-N) within an electricity market zone (10) operated by one or more third-parties;
- providing (1100) response curves (110) of the respective plurality of electric units (EM-1, ..., EM-N);
- receiving (1200) power consumption data (120) of the plurality of electric units (EM-1, ..., EM-N);
- monitoring (1300) balancing demand (130) of the electricity market zone (10) and/or the combined market zones (20);
- forming (1400) a demand-response resource (140) by combining several of the electric units (EM-1, ..., EM-N) into a virtual electric machine (30) as a function of the balancing demand (130) and the power consumption data (120) of the plurality of electric units (EM-1, ..., EM-N);
- operating (1500) the virtual electric machine (30) as a function of market demand.
