Claim 25:
26. A system comprising one or more computing devices and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computing devices, to cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
accessing, for a distributed energy resource from a plurality of distributed energy resources managed by a coordinator system that grants or denies energy draw and supply requests, a request probability function that defines a request probability as a function of a need for energy (NFE) for the distributed energy resource; and
for each of two or more communication epoch time intervals for the distributed energy resource:
accessing, for the corresponding communication epoch time interval, a value for at least one parameter that indicates the need for energy (NFE) for the distributed energy resource;
determining a request probability for the corresponding communication epoch time interval according to the accessed value of the at least one parameter and the request probability function; and
determining, for the corresponding communication epoch time interval, whether to send a request to the coordinator system for the distributed energy resource to draw or supply energy according to the determined request probability;
for at least one of the two or more communication epoch time intervals and in response to determining to send a request to the coordinator system for the communication epoch time interval:
sending, to the coordinator system, the request to draw energy or supply energy;
receiving, from the coordinator system, a response that indicates that the request is approved; and
causing the distributed energy resource to draw energy or supply energy according to the response.
