System, method, and data packets for messaging for electric power grid elements over a secure internet protocol network
First Claim
1. An apparatus for electric power grid management and communications, comprising:
- wherein the apparatus is operable for communicating at least one Internet Protocol (IP)-based message with at least one grid element in an electric power grid network;
wherein the at least one IP based message includes at least one IP packet that is generated autonomously and/or automatically by at least one grid element and/or the apparatus by transforming a raw data into a transformed content;
wherein the raw data corresponds to a participation of the at least one grid element in the electric power grid network;
wherein the at least one IP-based message comprises at least one attribute of the at least one grid element and/or the apparatus, wherein the at least one attribute includes revenue grade metrology, calibration, operating capacity, security, settlement, status, table information, pricing, telemetry, changes in time, location of market, attachment point information, geodetic information, a grid element identifier, an apparatus identifier, a grid element profile, an apparatus profile, power consumption, power flows, information accuracy of a grid element, information accuracy of the apparatus, software, firmware, upgrades, and/or prioritization; and
wherein the at least one IP-based message comprises a priority based upon factors associated with the electric power grid, the factors including grid reliability factors, grid stability factors, energy market-based factors, billing determinants, energy settlement factors, financial settlement factors, transmission factors, and revenue grad metrology.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and messages of the present invention provides IP-based messages associated with the grid elements, wherein each IP-based message includes an internet protocol (IP) packet that is generated autonomously and/or automatically by the grid elements, intelligent messaging hardware associated with the grid elements, at least one coordinator, and/or a server associated with the electric power grid and its operation, energy settlement, and/or financial settlement for electricity provided or consumed, transmitted, and/or curtailed or reduced. The IP packet preferably includes a content including raw data and/or transformed data, a priority associated with the IP-based message, a security associated with the IP packet, and/or a transport route for communicating the IP-based message via the network.
