1. A transaction-enabling system, comprising:
a fleet of machines each having an energy consumption task requirement; and
a controller, comprising one or more high-speed processing devices, that includes:
a resource requirement circuit, executed by at least one of the one or more high-speed processing devices, that aggregates a resource requirement for the fleet of machines to perform a task and obtains energy usage data for the fleet of machines;
a forward resource market circuit, executed by at least one of the one or more high-speed processing devices, that accesses a forward market for energy and obtains energy market data; and
a resource distribution circuit, executed by at least one of the one or more high-speed processing devices and comprising an expert system, the expert system comprising one of a machine learning component, an artificial intelligence component, or a neural network and that executes a transaction on the forward market for energy via the forward resource market circuit in response to the aggregated resource requirement provided by the resource requirement circuit;
wherein the expert system within the resource distribution circuit, responsive to the aggregated resource requirement provided by the resource requirement circuit and the energy market data provided by the forward resource market circuit, automatically executes at least one of:
allocating delivery of a first amount of energy to the fleet of machines; or
initiating a transaction for a second amount of energy on the forward market for energy; and
wherein the resource distribution circuit is continuously trained to improve the allocation of energy delivery to the fleet of machines using the energy usage data provided by the resource requirement circuit and a training data set based on a plurality of transactions on the forward market for energy by adaptively improving one of an aggregate output value of the fleet of machines or a cost of operation of the fleet of machines.
