Some embodiments may provide a distributed optimization technology for the control of aggregation of distributed flexibility resource nodes (e.g., associated with distributed energy resources) that operates iteratively until a commanded power profile is produced by aggregated loads. Some embodiments use a distributed iterative solution in which each node solves a local optimization problem with local constraints and states, while using global qualities (e.g., associated with a Lagrange multiplier) that are based upon information from each other node. The global qualities may be determined via a secure, distributed transaction ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain) using DER-specific information obtained in a condensed form (e.g., a scalar or vector) from each node at each iteration. The global qualities may be broadcast to the nodes for each new iteration. Embodiments may provide an iterative, distributed solution to the network optimization problem of aggregated load power tracking.
