Abstract
An energy grid network includes multiple distributed energy resources (DERs) or DER nodes. A DER node includes a local energy source and a local energy load. The DER nodes in the network generate realtime data about energy availability from local energy sources and realtime data about energy demand. The DER nodes can share the realtime data with other DER nodes in the network to provide a constant view in the network about the energy generation and energy demand within the network. The shared realtime data can be scaled at each DER node based on physical distance, time to exchange energy between nodes, or both distance and time. A DER node generates its own realtime data and receives data from one or more other DER nodes and determines the value of energy use from local or non-local sources by local and non-local loads.
