1. A grid synchronization system for use on a power grid, said grid stabilization system comprising:

  • a load controller located at a customer site on the power grid, said load controller programmed to transmit a request for permission to change a load on the power grid at the customer site;

    a grid stabilization controller located remotely from the customer site; and

    a grid stabilization subsystem on the power grid located remotely from the customer site, said grid stabilization system comprising;

    an energy storage system for storing energy;

    a power transfer interface for electrically coupling the energy storage system to the power grid and providing a transfer of power between the energy storage system and the power grid; and

    a power transfer controller for controlling the power transfer interface,wherein the grid stabilization controller is programmed to receive the request from the load controller, determine a future event time at which the load controller is to implement the requested load change, transmit said future event time to the load controller, and instruct the power transfer controller to cause the power transfer interface to implement a power transfer between the power grid and the energy storage system beginning at said future event time.
