  • Patent number: 10871510
    Abstract: A system and method for offsetting peak demand for a customer of an electrical utility is disclosed. The system includes a source of stored electrical energy connected between an electrical service panel and a load. Demand spikes are detected by monitoring current flowing to the load, and when a demand spike is detected, the source of stored energy is connected to the load.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170271915
    Abstract: An electronic monitoring system comprises an analog front end that receives as input the output of a current transformer connected to a load, wherein the analog front end converts the input to a digital value, a micro controller electrically connected to the analog front end that receives the digital value from the analog front end and pushes the digital value to a cloud server. A method of using an energy monitoring control system comprising the steps of: obtaining power consumption data from a plurality of nodes in an electrical grid; converting the power consumption data from analog to digital; sending the power consumption data in a digital format to a cloud server via a Wi-Fi connection; analyzing the power consumption data with a cloud based software program, and determining both historical and instantaneous power consumption data for one or more of the plurality of nodes based on the analysis.
