Abstract
Dispatching schemes for distributed resources involve decisions made at a central location and control orders are transmitted to one or more distributed resources by a communications network. Distributed resources include demand and supply side resources that can be deployed within a distribution and sub-transmission system. Demand side resources include demand side or load management or energy efficiency options while supply side resources include generation sources, including photovoltaics, reciprocating engines, micro turbines, fuel cells, etc.
