Classification: CPC G  H  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A computer system at a utility distribution substation connected to a local portion of an electric distribution system, wherein the computer system is configured to:
cause a power control system to store energy received from on-site power generation systems at utility customer sites through the local portion of the electric distribution system in an energy storage device at the utility distribution substation during a period of time when a price of electricity from the electric distribution system is below a threshold;
provide the energy stored in the energy storage device through the power control system to the electric distribution system as an aggregated asset sold to a power market during a period of time when the price of electricity from the electric distribution system is above the threshold
generate adjusted load shapes based on data from energy control and storage systems at the utility customer sites that indicate at least one of an amount of excess power generated by the on-site power generation systems, an amount of power stored in the energy control and storage systems, power demands of energy consuming devices at the utility customer sites, or loads on the electric distribution system at the utility customer sites; and
provide the adjusted load shapes to the energy control and storage systems at the utility customer sites to control power that the energy control and storage systems exchange with the electric distribution system through the utility distribution substation.
