Abstract:
A system for scheduling the generation of energy in an energy distribution network having a plurality of energy users receiving energy from at least one of a plurality of energy sources, the system comprising:memory configured to store at least one schedule for each energy user, each schedule setting forth the energy user's predicted energy usage over a predetermined period of time; a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to sum the schedules of a predetermined set of energy users thereby creating a net schedule; and wherein a plurality of schedules correspond to the predicted energy usage of at least one energy user, at least one of the schedules setting forth the at least one energy user's predicted consumption of energy from a first predetermined energy provider and at least one of the schedules setting forth the least one energy user's predicted consumption of energy from a second predetermined energy provider.
