Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for optimising and managing distributed energy storage and flexibility resources on a localised and group aggregation basis, particularly around the determination, analysis and predictive learning of local data patterns, scoring availability for flexibility and risk profiles, to inform the optimisation of energy supply and behind the meter storage resources and local clusters of co-located or close resources within a community, low voltage network, feeder, neighbourhood or building. Said optimisation to involve scheduled, reactive and active management of data sources and local clusters of resources, for a range of goals such as price, energy supply, renewable leverage, asset value, constraint or risk management.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems, devices and methods for the efficient use of utilities, more particularly to the distribution and provision of electricity supply at appropriate voltages, monitoring and usage by end devices, and to facilitating consumers in changing their energy usage behaviour, and to adopt and easily install appropriate sustainable, energy efficient or renewable technologies. Said end devices typically including traditional electric, electronic and lighting appliances requiring AC or DC power provision or low voltage DC power via AC/DC converters.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of battery assemblies. Each battery assembly includes power storage and control electronics, and a communication device. Each battery assembly acts as a local hub for local direct current (DC) power demand monitoring and a local DC power supply for DC loads. Each battery assembly also charges the power storage. The plurality of battery assemblies are configured to be managed as a collective resource in aggregate via the communication device.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery assembly comprises a built in connector, circuitry to provide charge control, at least one rechargeable battery unit, and circuitry providing a further function. The battery assembly is mechanically reversible between a deployed configuration having a general form and functions of a conventional battery format and a charge configuration in which the connector is made accessible. In the deployed configuration the battery assembly is capable of providing a discharge to at least one voltage level and can be charged by means of a suitable external charger device. In the charge configuration the battery assembly can be charged by means of the integral charge control circuitry when the connector is connected to a suitable powered receptacle on a computing or peripheral device.
