Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automated electricity delivery management. More specifically, the invention relates to systems and methods for instantly and electronically determining available electricity, predicting short-term delivery forecasts, evaluating transmission availability, capacity and paths, determining inter-tie availability, capacity and price, and bidding the power into the market. Such systems and methods may occur on a mobile device, and/or web interface.
Claims20
An automated electricity delivery management system comprising:
- one or more server for receiving information from an entity outside a control area and from an entity within the control area;
- and
- a processor for (1) determining in real-time, based on the information received from the entity outside the control area and the information received from the entity within the control area, the distribution of electricity from the entity outside the control area to the entity within the control area, and (2) generating a signal that effects transmission of electricity from one or more generators of the entity outside the control area to the entity within the control area.
A method for automated electricity delivery management comprising:
- receiving information about real-time out-of-control area power generation from an out-of-control area power generator;
- generating a signal that effects communication of at least one transmission reservation that effects delivery of electricity from the out-of-control area power generator;
- communicating the at least one transmission reservation to a transmission owner that delivers the electricity generated by the out-of-control area power generator;
- and
- determining, using a processor, electricity import bidding information based on the received real-time out-of-control area power generation information.
