Abstract: A vibration-based location indication system includes a computing system that is coupled to a management system via a network. The computing system includes a computing system vibration device, and a computing system location indication subsystem that is coupled to the network and the computing system vibration device. The computing system location indication subsystem receives a computing system location indication instruction to indicate a location of the computing system from the management system via the network and, based on the computing system location indication instruction, drives the computing system vibration device to produce a vibration that is configured to indicate the location of the computing system.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a system for energy management may include a processor, a memory, and a communication interface. The communication interface may receive configuration information associated with a microgrid and one or more distributed energy resources (DER). The processor may generate a dispatch profile to control one or more of the DER based on a detected outage, a type of DER connected to the microgrid, a set of default operating conditions, and a user preference. According to one aspect, the processor may generate the dispatch profile based on the dispatch command, a status of a DER of one or more of the DER connected to the microgrid, and a user preference. The dispatch command may include a demand response (DR) request or a vehicle grid integration (VGI) request for real power or reactive power from the microgrid.

The transport module determines a first numerical value associated with remuneration for the transport. The charging module determines a second numerical value associated with remuneration for providing the charge. The grant module compares the first numerical value associated with the transport request to the second numerical value associated with the V2G energy request. The grant module grants the transport request or the V2G energy request based on the comparison.
