Claim 9:
10. A system for managing power information for generating operating reserves on an electric power grid comprising:
a server constructed and configured for communicating Internet Protocol (IP)-based messages with a plurality of grid elements;
wherein the plurality of grid elements includes at least one coordinating grid element, operable to send instructions for controlling one or more of the plurality of grid elements;
wherein the IP-based messages comprise set points to increase or decrease an amount of power available to be reduced to the plurality of grid elements;
wherein the server initiates power control instructions to the coordinating grid element, the coordinating grid element controlling the one or more of the plurality of grid elements to reduce consumed power, and a measurement and verification is generated for an actual reduction in consumed power for each one of the one or more of the plurality of grid elements;
wherein the measurement and verification provides an actual value corresponding to the actual reduction in consumed power for each one of the one or more of the plurality of grid elements;
wherein the actual value is based on comparison to a baseline power consumption by each one of the at least one grid element; and
wherein the plurality of grid elements includes at least one heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device.
