Publication number: 20240162746Abstract: A method and system for regulating power consumption on an electric power grid is disclosed. Blockchain miners are used as a load bank that can be modulated quickly to accommodate spikes or dips in power generated from wind and solar power producers. The cryptocurrency generated by the blockchain miners allows electric grid owners to recoup the costs of higher overall power production, and accommodates fluctuations that are characteristic of wind and solar power generation devices because the fluctuations from wind and solar devices can be matched by modulating the computational speed of the blockchain miners in equal amounts, thus matching the overall demand and production of the power on the electric grid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: JBB Advanced Technologies, LLCInventors: John Taylor Billingsley, Jr., Ronald Lyle Chichester, Jason Alexander Novack
