Abstract
Systems and techniques for tolerance-based intelligent edge network energy delivery are described herein. A flexibility metric may be calculated for a node of the edge network. The flexibility metric of the node and flexibility metrics of a set of additional nodes of the edge network may be ranked to create a set of flexibility ranked edge nodes. A notification may be received of a demand response event. A candidate node subset may be identified from the set of flexibility ranked nodes based on requirements of the demand response event and a ranked order the set of flexibility ranked nodes. A demand response command may be transmitted to the candidate node subset upon determining that the candidate node subset satisfies the requirements of the demand response event. The demand response command may cause nodes of the candidate node subset to alter energy consumption for a time period of demand response event.
