Claim 0:
1. 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 at least one grid element;
a database for storing information including data from at least one meter or at least one sub-meter relating to activities of the at least one grid element;
at least one client device for routing the IP-based messages between the server and the at least one grid element;
wherein the IP-based messages comprise a setting that affects an amount of power consumed and a second setting and/or setting adjustment that affects an amount of power available to be reduced to the at least one grid element;
wherein the server initiates power control instructions causing the at least one grid element to reduce consumed power, and a measurement and verification is generated for an actual reduction in consumed power for each one of the at least one grid element;
wherein the measurement and verification provides an actual value corresponding to the actual reduction in consumed power for each one of the at least one grid element;
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 at least one grid element includes at least one heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device.
