Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing communication with an electrical power system. A load curtailment plan is received. The load curtailment plan implements a load curtailment request from an electrical system operator. The load curtailment plan includes a plurality of action requests corresponding to one or more disparate end user assets. The action requests are translated for communication in accordance with a plurality disparate protocols used by the one or more disparate end user assets. The translated action requests are transmitted to the one or more disparate end user assets.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to generating metrics and providing control in relation to electric vehicles (EVs) are provided. The metrics and control may be based on information relating to environmental emissions generated by power generation sources that provide power that is used to charge the EVs. The method may generate an overall score for a time interval based on the power grid information and the environmental emissions information, wherein the overall score indicates a level of suitability for charging an EV during the time interval, wherein higher suitability is associated with a lower quantity of environmental emissions. The generating control information may be based on the overall score, wherein the control information comprises EV charging schedule information.
