Aggregator, monitor, and manager of distributed micro-generators

A system comprising a processor and a non-transitory data storage device that contains instructions when executed by the processor comprising:

• an aggregator of distributed micro-generator energy sources capable of delivering an energy source to a power grid;
• a monitor of the distributed micro-generator energy sources, wherein the monitor communicates micro-generator energy usage data with a wholesale power producer and a microgenerator asset owner;
• and
• a portfolio optimizer of the distributed micro-generator energy sources, wherein the portfolio optimizer facilitates commercialization of the distributed micro-generator energy sources,
• wherein the monitor tracks and reports micro-generator energy source use by a wholesale power producer;
• and
• wherein assigning a specific one of the micro-generator energy sources to a wholesale power producer causes energy to be delivered to a wholesale power market via a wholesale power grid.

A computer-implemented method performed by a processor and a nontransitory data storage device that contains instructions executed by the processor, said method comprising:

• aggregating, by the processor, distributed micro-generator energy sources capable of delivering an energy source to a power grid;
• monitoring the distributed micro-generator energy sources by communicating micro-generator energy usage data with a wholesale power producer and a micro-generator asset owner;
• and
• optimizing the distributed micro-generator energy sources by facilitating control of a micro-generator energy source by assigning a specific one of the micro-generator energy sources to a wholesale power producer,
• wherein the monitoring further includes tracking and reporting micro-generator energy source use by the wholesale power producer;
• and
• wherein assigning a specific micro-generator energy source to the wholesale power producer causes energy to be delivered to a wholesale power market via a wholesale power grid.
