Abstract: A microgrid system that supports EV charging. The microgrid system powers the load with one or more renewable energy sources (for example, solar, wind), battery storage, in combination with optional access to limited utility power and automatically-controlled generator power as a backup. The system can deliver clean uninterrupted power. The system provides flexibility to support the export of power for net metering, gross metering or peer-peer trading, as permitted by local regulations. The system includes a main storage sub-system and an optional secondary storage that may be brought online and increased or decreased as needed, and optimized based on guidance provided by the microgrid controller. The system also includes modules that decide how to optimally use the energy from the various sources, in order to maximize renewable energy usage, minimize the cost of electricity, while maximizing the life of the system.

Abstract: A system and method for allocating exported energy in a utility network is provided. A system and method comprising measuring the exported energy and a consumed energy via one or more IoT edge devices connected to a cloud computing infrastructure and coupled to one or more distributed energy resources in a community of energy consumers via a telecommunication network. Storing the measured exported energy and consumed energy on a memory coupled to a processor in the cloud computing infrastructure. Selecting one or more allocation algorithms executed by the processor based on the measured exported energy. Distributing and assigning the exported energy according to the one or more allocation algorithms selected and differentiating the community of energy consumers based on the one or more allocation algorithms selected.
