Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, comprising before step (a):
(a0) determining and transmitting to the first layer controller by the second layer controllers initial aggregate energy service forecasts for their respective subnetworks based upon initial third layer entity energy service forecasts provided by the respective at least one third layer controller in each subnetwork;
(b0) determining and transmitting to each of the second layer controllers by the first layer controller an initial network-wide energy service forecast determined in response to the initial aggregate energy service forecasts and without use of a power flow optimization; and
(c0) determining and transmitting to the respective at least one third layer controller by the second layer controllers initial third layer controller-specific energy service forecasts determined in response to the initial network-wide energy service forecast.
