Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing an electrical grid by controlling devices connected to the electrical grid. In one aspect, a method comprises: autonomously determining whether a control strategy update criterion is satisfied, and in response to determining that the control strategy update criterion is satisfied: identifying: (i) a plurality of devices connected to the electrical grid, and (ii) one or more objectives to be satisfied by the plurality of devices; generating, for the plurality of devices and for a plurality of controls, simulated data that simulates operation of the plurality of devices based on application of the plurality of controls; and identifying, by an optimization procedure and based on at least the simulated data, a respective control to be applied to each of the plurality of devices to satisfy the objectives.

Autonomous electrical grid management

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a load adjustment simulation and a capacity forecast. In one aspect, a method comprises: generating, using a simulation system, a load adjustment simulation that characterizes predicted energy consumption by a population of energy consuming devices based on performance of a current load adjustment event; generating, using the simulation system, a baseline load simulation that characterizes predicted energy consumption by the population of energy consuming devices based on non-performance of the current load adjustment event; determining, using the baseline load simulation, a load adjustment simulation error that is an estimate of an error between: (i) the load adjustment simulation, and (ii) actual energy consumption by the population of energy consuming devices based on performance of the current load adjustment event; and updating the load adjustment simulation using the load adjustment simulation error.
