Claim:
1. A system for electric power grid element and network management comprising: at least one grid element constructed and configured for electrical connection and for internet protocol (IP)-based network communication with a server and/or a processor operatively coupled with a memory; wherein the at least one grid element is automatically and/or autonomously transformed into at least one active grid element after automatically communicating an initial message to the server and/or the processor operatively coupled with the memory via a network; wherein the initial message includes a unique grid element identifier, an equipment identifier, a class of service information, capability, capacity, function information, geodetic information, an attachment point in an electric power grid, IP address information, communication format, content information, security information, and authentication information; wherein the at least one active grid element functions actively within the electric power grid; wherein the transformation is registered in a database or a multiplicity of databases constructed and configured in network-based communication for receiving registration data from a multiplicity of grid elements; and wherein the registration information associated with the at least one active grid element is combined with information about generation, transmission, and distribution system of the electric power grid, stored in the database, and processed with analytics to simulate modeling for attachment of the at least one active grid element to the electric power grid.
