Patent number: 11817737Abstract: A flexible load management (FLM) system and technique adaptively monitors and manages power consumption of a premises. The FLM system includes a virtual critical load panel (vCLP) that utilizes circuit breakers in combination with companion modules (i.e., intelligent controllers) to vary a prioritization arrangement of loads in the premises by time of day, season or even dynamically. The vCLP is a prioritized enumeration (i.e., prioritization) of the loads within the premises, wherein the loads are considered sufficiently important such that they are protected by a local power source. The vCLP is dynamically configurable by a user in real time according to an instantaneous demand for the prioritized loads that is used to determine a number of branch circuits associated with the loads that is able to be powered-on at any time.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Savant Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert P. Madonna, William H. Dillon, Daniel H. Chapman, Anna E. Demeo, Alex Wiggins, Nicole Madonna

Publication number: 20230033596Abstract: A power controller configured to fit in a circuit breaker panel powering one or more loads. The power controller is further configured to manage critical loads of the one or more loads each controlled by a component that is capable of being actuated by the power controller and operated from a smartphone via the power controller, wherein the critical loads need not be wired to a dedicated circuit breaker panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Robert P. Madonna, Siegmar K. Eschholz, Anna E. Demeo, William H. Dillon

Patent number: 10956992Abstract: A group of homes, businesses, or other electric power consuming premises are aggregated and commonly controlled to dynamically reduce loads in sufficient quantities, and with sufficient rapidity and duration, to participate as a market participant in the energy markets including participating as a peaking power plant. While the amount of reduced power consumption for a single premises is typically quite small, the total reduced consumption of an aggregation of just a few thousand homes or businesses may be on the order of hundreds of kilowatts. A premises power controller in conjunction with intelligent circuit breakers, which may include dimmers, enable dynamic management of individual loads in each premises.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Racepoint Energy, LLCInventors: Robert P. Madonna, Siegmar K. Eschholz, Anna E. Demeo, William H. Dillon

Publication number: 20210073927Abstract: An energy management system interoperates with an automation system to provide integrated control over essentially all power-consuming, power-generating, and power storage devices in a home or other environment. The energy management system provides configurable energy management scenes in which one or more values, each representing a desired operating condition, are associated with some or all of the loads of a home, business or other environment. Different energy management scenes may be configured for different environmental conditions including season, day of week, time of day, grid status, battery condition, and generator condition among others.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Robert P.

Patent number: 10943310Abstract: An intelligent circuit breaker electrically is capable of being actuated and interfacing with a conventional circuit breaker. The intelligent circuit breaker includes a wireless transceiver for communicating with other intelligent circuit breakers, a breaker controller, memory, and a display. The memory may be used to temporarily store data of interest regarding the intelligent circuit breaker's status, power consumption, operating history, and the like. The intelligent circuit breaker may advantageously be constructed in a form factor which is compatible with standard circuit breaker panels.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Racepoint Energy, LLCInventors: Robert P. Madonna, Siegmar K. Eschholz, Anna E. Demeo, William H. Dillon

Publication number: 20180253804Abstract: An intelligent circuit breaker is electrically capable of dimming a load using sine wave dimming and forward or reverse cut-phase dimming. The intelligent circuit breaker may include low on resistance transistors switching at a 100 kHZ or higher using pulse width modulation to achieve the sine wave dimming while filtering out the high frequency switching and allowing a line frequency pass through. The intelligent circuit breaker may include a wireless module for receiving one or commands to perform power dimming of the load. The intelligent circuit breaker may advantageously be constructed in a form factor which is compatible with standard circuit breaker panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Robert P. Madonna, Siegmar K. Eschholz, Anna E. Demeo, William H. Dillon
