1. A method for delivering coordinated signal injections into a utility grid, comprising:

  • receiving spatial and temporal reaches for a plurality of signal injections, wherein the temporal reach includes a duration of one of the signal injections and an expected duration of a response to the one signal injection;

    selecting times and locations for the plurality of signal injections to be implemented into a utility grid such that the spatial and temporal reaches of the signal injections do not overlap; and

    implementing the signal injections into the utility grid at the selected times and locations,wherein the signal injections are implemented by changing the state of grid controls,wherein the grid controls are at least one of capacitor banks, load tap changers, and inverters.
