Patent Images
1. A system for distributing electric power in an electric network having distribution networks, comprising the steps of:
- receiving by a control node an indication of at least one settled contract for electric power and a signal from one or more feedback sensors related to current use conditions on an electric network including power consumption by end users through a feedback loop; and
generating by the control node a route plan for delivering electric power based on the indication of at least one settled contract, the signal from the one or more feedback sensors received through the feedback loop, and at least one of price, quality of service, and class of service, the route plan adjusting power flow to the electric network to balance load and resources on the electric network;
wherein the control node comprises at least one processor and at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
A method and system for dynamically routing electric power in real time in accordance with parameters submitted by buyers and sellers of electric power using a feedback control scheme. A control node is arranged for receiving the parameters via a wide area network and to generate a route plan based on the parameters as well as current supply and demand in a network. The control node is also connected to the transmission and distribution systems to dynamically route electric power between matched buyers and sellers to effect the route plan.
