1. A system for managing power on an electric power grid, comprising:
at least one power consuming device and at least one controllable device constructed and configured for network communication;
wherein the at least one controllable device is operably coupled to the at least one power consuming device;
wherein the at least one controllable device is operable to control a power flow from the electric power grid to the at least one power consuming device responsive to power control instructions;
wherein the at least one power consuming device has a value of power reduced confirmed by measurement and verification;
wherein the value of power reduced provides operating reserves for the electric power grid;
wherein the value of power to be reduced is a power supply value (PSV), wherein the PSV is generated at one or more of a control center, a meter, a submeter, a building control system, or any device or controller that measures power within a standard as supplied by at least one regulatory body that governs regulation of the electric power grid
wherein the PSV is operable to determine a power consumption behavior and/or a commercial value for a response to a control event associated with the at least one power consuming device.
