1. A system for aggregating and integrating distributed grid element inputs, comprising:

  • a server platform constructed and configured for network communication with a power distribution grid in a certain area;

    at least one user device constructed and configured for network communication with the server platform; and

    at least one grid element operable to electrically connect to the power distribution grid and operable to participate in the power distribution grid;

    wherein the server platform provides a map layer and a power system model of the power distribution grid in the certain area via a dynamic graphical user interface;

    wherein the dynamic graphical user interface is operable to display a multiplicity of electrical components of the power distribution grid and real-time data related to the multiplicity of electrical components on the map layer of the power distribution grid based on the power system model;

    wherein the at least one user device is further operable to tag and display the at least one grid element on the map layer of the power distribution grid with information of the at least one grid element via the dynamic graphical user interface;

    wherein the server platform is operable to automatically integrate the at least one grid element into the power system model for the power distribution grid in the certain area in real time or near real time, thereby creating an updated power system model;

    wherein the server platform is operable to provide at least one digital contract between the at least one grid element and the power distribution grid regarding a participation of the at least one grid element in the power distribution grid, wherein the participation comprises supplying power to the power distribution grid, consuming power from the power distribution grid, and/or providing power curtailment to the power distribution grid;

    wherein the server platform is operable to control the participation of the at least one grid element in the power distribution grid in real time or near real time based on the at least one digital contract and the updated power system model.
