A utility employs an active load management system (ALMS) to estimate available operating reserve for possible dispatch to the utility or another requesting entity (e.g., an independent system operator). According to one embodiment, the ALMS determines amounts of electric power stored in power storage devices, such as electric or hybrid electric vehicles, distributed throughout the utility's service area. The ALMS stores the stored power data in a repository. Responsive to receiving a request for operating reserve, the ALMS determines whether the stored power data alone or in combination with projected energy savings from a control event is sufficient to meet the operating reserve requirement. If so, the ALMS dispatches power from the power storage devices to the power grid to meet the operating reserve need. The need for operating reserve may also be communicated to mobile power storage devices to allow them to provide operating reserve as market conditions require.

1. A method for estimating operating reserve of a utility servicing one or more service points, the method comprising: determining amounts of electric power consumed by at least a first set of devices during multiple periods of time to produce power consumption data, the first set of devices being located at the one or more service points;storing the power consumption data in a repository;determining that a control event is to occur during which a supply of electric power is to be reduced to at least the first set of devices;after storage of the power consumption data in the repository and prior to commencement of the control event, estimating, under an assumption that the control event is not to occur, power consumption behavior expected of at least the first set of devices during a future period of time based at least on the stored power consumption data, wherein the control event is expected to occur during the future period of time;determining, prior to commencement of the control event, energy savings expected to result from the control event based at least on the estimated power consumption behavior of the first set of devices to produce projected energy savings;determining, prior to commencement of the control event, amounts of electric power stored by a second set of devices located at the one or more service points to produce stored power data; anddetermining, prior to commencement of the control event, an amount of available operating reserve based on the projected energy savings and the stored power data. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: distributing the available operating reserve subsequent to commencement of the control event. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the utility utilizes at least some renewable energy produced by a renewable energy source and wherein the available operating reserve is distributed to provide regulating reserve during times of under-generation by the renewable energy source. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: managing distribution of the available operating reserve subsequent to commencement of the control event. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that a control event is to occur comprises: determining that a control event is to occur responsive to receipt of an Automatic Generation Control command. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining energy savings expected to result from the control event comprises: determining energy savings expected to result from the control event for each service point at which one or more devices of the first set of devices are located to produce intermediate projected energy savings; andaggregating the intermediate projected energy savings for a plurality of service points to produce the projected energy savings. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein projected energy savings is determined on a service point by service point basis. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein projected energy savings is determined on a utility-wide basis. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of devices includes one or more electric or hybrid electric vehicles. 10.
