1. A system for managing power information for generating operating reserves on an electric power grid, comprising:
at least one server constructed and configured for communicating Internet Protocol (IP)-based messages with at least one grid element;
wherein the at least one grid element is registered and associated with at least one profile or account;
wherein the at least one grid element includes at least one energy storage device and/or at least one battery;
wherein the at least one server transmits at least one IP-based message to the at least one grid element, wherein the at least one IP-based message includes at least one power control command;
wherein the at least one power control command causes an increase in power supplied by the at least one grid element, and wherein the at least one grid element discharges energy to the electric power grid in response to the at least one power control command;
wherein the at least one server receives raw supply data for the at least one grid element;
wherein the at least one server automatically transforms the raw supply data into transformed data;
wherein the at least one grid element includes at least one renewable energy resource, wherein the at least one server is operable to send energy request messages to the at least one renewable energy resource, and wherein the energy request messages include a designated amount of energy from the at least one renewable energy resources includes a designated amount of energy to supply to charge the at least one energy storage device and/or the at least one battery; and
wherein the at least one server includes a system profile having supply side indices for a cost of stored energy, and wherein the energy requests messages are sent based on the supply side indices for the cost of stored energy at a given time.
