Publication number: 20210400784Abstract: A light performance monitoring device and optionally integrated controller includes a monitor module that directly monitors energy usage of at least one energy load to generate at least one measurement of energy usage; a storage module stores a series of baseline values of energy usage of the energy load, a comparator module compares energy measurements made at predetermined intervals with the baseline values, and a notification module notifies a designated recipient that there is a deviation from the baseline values consistent with a burned out or non-operational light fixture, including but not limited to light bulbs or ballast devices. A control module optionally integrated with the light performance monitoring device can be operatively coupled to the monitor module to control energy usage by the at least one energy load via a data link in a pre-determined manner that is based on the at least one measurement of energy usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Donald W. HOWELL, Mark W. VINSON, Frank O. BLEVINS, Armand J. TAMAGNI, MIchael L. CAMPBELL

Patent number: 8862280Abstract: A system that dynamically learns the optimum energy consumption operating condition for a building and monitors/controls energy consuming equipment to keep the peak demand interval at a minimum. The algorithm employs two separate control schemes, one for HVAC loads and one for non-HVAC loads, and uses historical peak demand measurements in its real-time limiting strategy. The algorithm continuously attempts to reduce peak demand within user configured parameters. When a new peak is inevitable, the algorithm removes and/or introduces loads to limit the new peak magnitude and places the operating conditions within the user configured parameters. The algorithm can examine the previous seven days of metering information to identify a peak demand interval, use real-time load information to predict the demand peak of the upcoming interval, and curtail loads in order to limit the demand peak so as not to set a new peak.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: GridPoint, Inc.Inventors: Danny K.

Patent number: 7275000Abstract: An energy information system and sub-measurement board for use therewith allows an energy information service provider to measure energy usage at a customer location. The sub-measurement board is connected to an energy distribution panel located at the customer location and measures energy usage of individual circuits of the distribution panel. The sub-measurement board outputs a load profile that is accessible by the customer. The sub-measurement board receives three three-phase voltages and nine single-phase currents. The voltages and currents are compared to the voltages and currents of the same individual circuit of the distribution panel to calculate the load profile of the individual circuits. A utility meter can be connected to the sub-measurement board and output electric pulses thereto which the sub-measurement board uses to calculate cumulative periodic consumption data of the metered utility.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2004Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Enerwise Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Donald Wayne Howell, Frank Oakley Blevins, Armand J.

The sub-measurement board is connected to an energy distribution panel located at the customer location and measures energy usage of individual circuits of the distribution panel. The sub-measurement board outputs a load profile of the energy usage and transmits the load profile to the energy information service provider via a wide area network (WAN). The load profile is processed by the energy service provider and posted on a server for access by the customer. The sub-measurement board is capable of receiving three three-phase voltages and nine single-phase currents. The voltages and currents are input into a microprocessor circuit which compares the currents one at a time to the voltages to match the current with the voltage of the same individual circuit of the distribution panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2004Publication date: September 23, 2004Applicant: Enerwise Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Donald Wayne Howell, Frank Oakley Blevins, Armand J.
