1. A method comprising:

  • generating a supply of energy by a power grid device of a power grid and dispatching the supply of energy by the power grid device based on at least one multi-level dispatch operation of the power grid, wherein the power grid device comprises a processor that facilitates deployment of a comprehensive operating plan;

    applying, by the power grid device, an action defined by the comprehensive operating plan as a function of operating plan data stored by a data store database representing an operating plan to provide a multi-interval scheduling solution that allocates operational resources of the power grid according to a schedule of the power grid to generate the supply of energy and dispatch the supply of energy by the power grid device;

    associating, by the power grid device, a multi-stage resource engine with of at least one scheduler engine corresponding to respective look-ahead periods, and in accordance with the comprehensive operating plan; and

    capturing, by the power grid device, scheduling data for storage by the data store, wherein the scheduling data corresponds to a unified scheduling system integrated with the at least one schedule engine in accordance with the comprehensive operating plan; and

    closing, by the power grid device, a gap between day aheadscheduling that schedules a commitment of power grid resources for a day ahead of an identified day, a unit commitment decision that manages peak and valley demands of, the power grid, and real time economic dispatch sequences that deploy power grid resources at different time periods.
