1. A method for reducing energy loss of an electric power grid, the method comprising:
partitioning a digital representation of the electric power grid into a plurality of domains,
wherein each domain includes a leaf node and a parent node,
wherein the parent node is a medium through which energy passes including a grid substation node, a substation node, or a transformer node, and
wherein the leaf node is a node that consumes or produces energy including a storage node, a solar array node, an industrial client node or a residential client node, the leaf node having only one connection, the one connection connecting the leaf node to a parent node;
classifying the plurality of domains into a hierarchy of levels, wherein each higher level is associated with additional parent nodes and leaf nodes connected to parent nodes and leaf nodes of a lower level,
wherein energy flows among a plurality of nodes in each domain experience increased impedance when crossing a domain boundary;
receiving data from a plurality of leaf nodes within a particular domain in the hierarchy of levels, the received data containing energy consumption data and energy production data sampled in a periodic time window for each leaf node of the plurality of leaf nodes;
generating an energy profile for a particular leaf node based on the received data, the particular leaf node belonging to the particular domain;
generating an aggregate energy profile of the particular domain by aggregating energy profiles of the plurality of leaf nodes of the particular domain;
comparing the energy profile of the particular leaf node with the aggregate energy profile of the particular domain;
determining, based on the comparison, whether consumption of energy exceeds production of energy of the particular domain;
generating an energy adjustment feedback value for the particular leaf node for each periodic time window,
wherein generating the energy adjustment feedback value further comprises:
determining a net energy consumed by the particular domain in the periodic time window,
determining a net energy consumption ratio for the particular leaf node during the periodic time window by dividing an energy consumed by the particular leaf node during the periodic time window by the net energy consumed in the particular domain during the periodic time window,
obtaining a damping factor for the particular leaf node, and
multiplying the net energy consumed in the particular domain by the net energy consumption ratio by the damping factor; and
providing the energy adjustment feedback value to the particular leaf node.
