Systems and methods for managing an energy distribution network

A system (100) includes a first computer (118) including an energy distribution network model (300). The first computer identifies a plurality of energy consumers (106) associated with an energy distribution constraint within the energy distribution network (200). The system also includes a second computer configured to receive data from the first computer. The second computer is also configured to identify a plurality of customers subscribed to a demand response program and identify a subset of the plurality of energy consumers that are associated with the plurality of customers. The second computer is further configured to identify a device (104) associated with each energy consumer of the subset of energy consumers and cause a demand response request to be transmitted to at least one identified device.
