Aggregator, monitor, and manager of distributed micro-generators

摘要

A system includes a processor and a non-transitory data storage device that contains instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions include an aggregator of distributed micro-generator energy sources capable of delivering an energy source to a power grid; a monitor of the distributed micro-generator energy sources, wherein the monitor communicates micro-generator energy usage data with a wholesale power producer and a microgenerator asset owner; and a portfolio optimizer of the distributed micro-generator energy sources, wherein the portfolio optimizer facilitates commercialization of the distributed micro-generator energy sources, wherein the monitor tracks and reports micro-generator energy source use by a wholesale power producer; and wherein assigning a specific one of the micro-generator energy sources to a wholesale power producer causes energy to be delivered to a wholesale power market via a wholesale power grid.
