METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENT COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION AND PRODUCTION

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for managing a commodity resource in a distributed network by aggregating marginal demand functions or marginal supply functions, depending on whether a node is a commodity consumer or a commodity producer, and determining an optimal allocation/production based on the aggregated function. By way of example, the commodity being managed may be an energy-based commodity such as electrical energy. In such case, the distributed commodity resource-based network may be a distributed electrical grid network.
