Abstract

Systems and methods for load distribution, where a method can include: establishing an interface with a controlling architecture of an electric power distribution system, the electric power distribution system in communication with a set of outlets of utility-facing devices providing access to the electric power distribution system; returning a demand assessment from a demand model characterizing anticipated demand upon the one or more portions of the electric power distribution associated with the set of outlets, the set of outlets positioned at a set of sites; and executing an action for adjustment of load distribution throughout the set of sites, through the controlling architecture, based upon the demand assessment. The inventions can be used to achieve carbon emission goals by incentivizing better use of limited energy resources.
