Energy coordination system

A system for allocating the deviation between the predicted energy usage for a plurality of energy users and the actual energy usage for the plurality of energy users, the system comprising:

• means for receiving meter readings of actual energy consumption for a plurality of energy users;
• memory in communication with the means for receiving a meter reading, the memory being configured to store a plurality of schedules of anticipated energy usage for a plurality of energy users and for a predetermined period and to store each energy user's meter reading, the plurality of schedules including at least one schedule associated with at least one energy user and at least one other schedule associated with at least one other energy user;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to calculate the difference between the schedule and the meter reading thereby forming a deviation between anticipated energy use and actual energy use for each energy user.

A method 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 method comprising the steps of:

• storing a schedule for each energy user, each schedule setting forth the predicted energy usage for that energy user over a predetermined period of time;
• summing 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.

A method for allocating the deviation between the predicted energy usage for a plurality of energy users and the actual energy usage for the plurality of energy users, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving meter readings of actual energy consumption for a plurality of energy users;
• storing a plurality of schedules of anticipated energy usage for a plurality of energy users and for a predetermined period, the plurality of schedules including at least one schedule associated with at least one energy user and at least one other schedule associated with at least one other energy user;
• storing each energy user's meter readings;
• and
• calculating the difference between the schedule and the meter readings thereby forming a deviation between anticipated energy use and actual energy use for each energy user.

A system for allocating the deviation between an energy user's predicted energy usage and the energy user's actual energy usage, the system comprising:

• means for receiving a meter reading of actual energy consumption for a plurality of energy users;
• memory in communication with the means for receiving a meter reading, the memory being configured to store a schedule of anticipated energy usage for each energy user and for a predetermined period and to store each energy user's meter reading;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to create a reconciled schedule representative of actual energy usage, the total energy represented in the reconciled schedule being substantially equivalent to actual energy used by the energy user, the processor being further configured to calculate the difference between the schedule and the reconciled schedule thereby forming a deviation between anticipated energy use and actual energy use for each energy user.
