Systems and methods for advanced energy network

A method for managing an advanced energy network comprising:

• providing a server platform communicatively connected to an electric power grid, and at least one distributed computing device in network communication with the server platform, wherein the electric power grid comprises a multiplicity of grid elements;
• the server platform providing at least one interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for the at least one distributed computing device for network communication;
• the server platform creating a user profile for at least one energy user via the at least one interactive GUI;
• the server platform collecting real-time energy usage data from the multiplicity of grid elements;
• the server platform building a power model for the electric power grid by dragging and dropping grid element modules via the at least one interactive GUI based on the real-time energy usage data from the multiplicity of the grid elements, historical data of the multiplicity of the grid elements, and current environment of the electric power grid;
• the server platform generating predictive energy consumption data based on the real-time energy usage data and the historical data;
• the server platform controlling a participation of at least one of the multiplicity of grid elements based on the predictive energy consumption data via the at least one interactive GUI;
• the server platform performing energy financial settlements for the participation of the at least one of the multiplicity of grid elements based on real-time market information and revenue grade metrology data for the at least one of the multiplicity of grid elements in real time or near real time;
• and
• the server platform transmitting the predictive energy consumption data, control information for the participation of the at least one of the multiplicity of grid elements, and energy settlement data to the at least one distributed computing device;
• and
• the at least one distributed computing device displaying the predictive energy consumption data, the control information for the participation of the at least one of the multiplicity of grid elements, and the energy settlement data via the at least one interactive GUI.
