A demand response management system which may be used by utilities, independent system operators, intermediaries and others to manage operations of demand response programs relative to customers, clients, participants, and users of outputs from the utilities, independent system operators, and the like. The demand response management system may provide demand response signal propagation and generation from demand response events. There may be an aggregation of customers, clients, participants, users, and the like. The aggregation may be performed and managed by the utility, independent system operator, or the like, before a DR event is initiated and even before a DR signal is generated.

1. A method for managing demand response resources, comprising: providing a utility/Independent Source Operator (ISO);providing a first set of two or more demand response (DR) resources;aggregating the DR resources into one DR resource at the utility/ISO;providing a DR event;generating DR signals from the DR event for the one DR resource; andproviding a second set of two or more DR resources;wherein:the DR signals are conveyed from an entity to the two or more DR resources;DR resource information is conveyed from the two or more resources to the entity;the DR resource information is aggregated at the entity by the utility/ISO; andthe second set of the two or more DR resources are aggregated by at least one DR resource of the first set of the two or more DR resources; andwherein:the DR signals at the utility/ISO are designed for the one DR resource; andthe DR signals are disaggregated at the one DR resource for conveyance to the two or more DR resources. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving DR resource information at the utility; andwherein the DR resource information comprises DR resource information from the two or more DR resources. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the DR resource information comprises: business level information; andwherein the business level information comprises one or more items of a group consisting of prices, reliability factors, shed levels, critical, and consumption periods. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein: the one DR resource is a parent participant to the two or more DR resources;the two or more DR resources are child participants to the one DR resource;the parent participant is an aggregated node;the aggregated node is a parent node;the child participants are child nodes;the parent node aggregates virtually all of the information contained within the child nodes;the parent node is a first level of a hierarchy; andthe child nodes are a second level of the hierarchy. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: adding one or more levels to the hierarchy; andwherein:an additional level added to the hierarchy comprises one or more child nodes relative to the one or more nodes of a previous level of the hierarchy; andthe one or more nodes of the previous level of the hierarchy are one or more parent nodes to the one or more child nodes of the additional level of the hierarchy. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein: the hierarchy is represented by a structure of folders;the parent node is represented as a first folder; andthe child nodes of the parent node are represented by a plurality of folders, respectively, within the first folder. 7. A system for managing demand response resources, comprising: a utility/ISO;a first set of two or more demand response (DR) resources; anda second set of two or more DR resources; andwherein:the first set or the second set of the two or more DR resources are aggregated into an entity at the utility/ISO;a DR event is determined at the utility/ISO;DR signals are developed at the utility/ISO from the DR event for the entity;the DR signals are conveyed from the entity to the two or more DR resources;DR resource information is conveyed from the two or more resources to the entity;the DR resource information is aggregated at the entity by the utility/ISO; andthe second set of the two or more DR resources are aggregated by at least one DR resource of the first set of the two or more DR resources; andwherein:the DR signals at the utility/ISO are designed for the one DR resource; andthe DR signals are disaggregated at the one DR resource for conveyance to the two or more DR resources. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the information aggregated at the entity by the utility contains virtually all of the information provided by the two or more DR resources. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein: the entity is a parent participant relative to the first set of the two or more DR resources;the DR resources of the first set of the two or more DR resources are child participants relative to the entity and are parent participants of DR resources of the second set of DR resources; andthe DR resources of the second set of DR resources are child participants of at least one of the DR resources of the first set of DR resources. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein: a parent participant of DR resources comprises an aggregation of the DR resources;a child participant of DR resources is a part of an aggregation of the DR resources at a parent participant; andthe entity, the first set of DR resources and the second set of DR resources are organized as three levels of a hierarchy of participants. 11. The system of claim 10, further comprising additional DR resources organized as additional levels of the hierarchy.
