Claim 15:
16. A system for managing an electric power grid, comprising:
a server, including a processor and a memory, wherein the server receives a power control command requiring a reduction of an amount of power consumed by at least one power consuming device;
wherein the server determines an amount of power available for the at least one power consuming device based on a baseline historical load for the at least one power consuming device and/or an estimation based on a load profile of the at least one power consuming device;
wherein the server issues an Internet Protocol (IP)-based power control message in response to the power control command;
wherein the IP-based power control message is received by an active load client, and wherein the active load client transmits at least one initiation message to the at least one power consuming device to initiate a reduction of a flow of power to the at least one power consuming device;
wherein the at least one initiation message causes the reduction of the flow of power to the at least one power consuming device based on the amount of power available for the at least one power consuming device;
wherein the amount of the flow of power reduced to the at least one power consuming device is confirmed by the active load client; and
wherein the confirmation is transmitted to the server by the active load client.
