Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to automatically load matching, in time, energy physically generated and transmitted to a consumption location across at least one tracking and processing infrastructure. In an illustrative example, a load pool (LP) may be created based on energy consumed at a physical location at one or more selected time periods. A generation pool (GP) may, for example, be created based on energy generated and physically available for consumption at the physical location during the time periods. Associations may be created, for example, between measurements in the GP of energy generated and transmitted and measurements in the LP of energy consumed. The associations may be created as a function of predetermined privileges associated with the consumption location and generation locations and/or physical transmission links corresponding to the GP during the time periods. Various embodiments may advantageously determine environmental impact based on location and time-based load matching.
