1. An operation method for distributed generation from a plurality of generators, the method comprising the steps. of:
determining, using a forward looking matching algorithm, a matching matrix with elements mij denoting the fraction of generator i's predicted supply assigned to respective load j of a plurality of loads such that a probability of meeting each load's associated power demand characteristic in a next supply cycle satisfies a threshold criterion; and
distributing power from the plurality of generators to the respective loads in accordance with the matching matrix, wherein:
the loads comprise different sets of one or more loads each, the loads of each set having at least one load characteristic in common, wherein the different sets of loads have different associated priorities; and wherein:
a first set comprises one or more loads having a predetermined percentage of their power demand to be supplied from the plurality of generators;
a second set comprises one or more loads having a predetermined amount of power from the plurality of generators to be supplied to them;
a third set comprises one or more loads having a predetermined percentage of energy from one or more specified ones of the generators to be supplied to them; and
a fourth set comprises one or more loads having a flexible amount of energy from the plurality of generators to be supplied to them.
