P5. Aggregated Load Shedding > Background

While much effort has been devoted to load management, including load shedding, in individual buildings, little reported work has focused on aggregates of buildings. Building aggregation is increasingly of interest due to the role of load aggregators in electricity-purchase contracts and the efforts at multi-building campuses to reduce electricity bills for aggregates of buildings. MIT, working with Drexel University, conducted exploratory research into opportunities for load management in aggregates of buildings, with emphasis on college campuses and multi-building medical facilities.
