  • Patent number: 12494739
    Abstract: A method is directed to monitoring and controlling first and second second microgrid systems. The first microgrid system includes a plurality of first loads, a first photovoltaic power generation system, a first energy storage system, and a first energy control system. The second microgrid system includes a plurality of second loads, a second photovoltaic power generation system, a second energy storage system, and a second energy control system. The method includes transmitting, by the first energy control system, electronic data relating to the first microgrid system over a network to a computing device. The method includes transmitting, by the second energy control system, electronic data relating to the second microgrid system over the network to the computing device. The method includes calculating, by the computing device, a state of the electrical system based on the electronic data relating to the first and second microgrid systems.

  • Patent number: 12003213
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for integrating an energy control system with an electrical system having a utility meter connected to a utility grid, a photovoltaic (PV) system, an energy storage system, and a plurality of electrical loads. The systems and methods include determining a site condition of the electrical system, determining a type of backup configuration for the electrical system based on the determined site condition, and determining a location of at least one of a main circuit breaker, the PV system, a subpanel, and a site current transformer with respect to the energy control system based on the determined site condition and the determined type of backup configuration.
