Systems and Methods for Advanced Energy Settlements, Network-Based Messaging, and Applications Supporting the Same
First Claim
1. A method for advanced energy settlements in an electric power grid, comprising:
- providing an advanced energy settlement platform comprising at least one server computer operable for communication over a network with a multiplicity of distributed computing devices;
the advanced energy settlement platform aggregating consumption data from energy customers and aggregating revenue grade metrology data from distributed generators into settlement blocks;
aggregating and settling distributed energy charges with the distributed generators for the energy customers during a billing period through a clearing house; and
aggregating and settling fixed energy charges with the energy retailer or retail energy provider for the energy customers during the billing period.
