1. A method of providing power from a renewable resource, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal at a response device of a load demand module directly from a renewable variable power generation module, the signal including an output capability value for the renewable variable power generation module;
calculating an input power demand value for the load demand module based on the output capability value of the received signal; and
controlling a customer load on a power transmission and distribution grid based on the calculated input power demand value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for associating a load demand with a variable power generation are described. A method of providing power from a renewable resource includes receiving a signal including an output capability value for a renewable variable power generation module. An input power demand value is calculated for a load demand module based on the output capability value of the received signal. A customer load is controlled on a power transmission and distribution grid based on the calculated input power demand value.
