Abstract: Some embodiments describe a DC meter system that can be placed in-line between a power source and an electrical load. In some embodiments, the DC meter system includes a DC meter that has multiple inputs for receiving electricity from multiple power sources. In some embodiments, the DC meter has one or more outputs, each capable of delivering electricity to a different electrical load. In some embodiments, the DC meter can combine electricity from two or more of the multiple inputs into one of the outputs. In some embodiments, the DC meter has a controller that can enable a user to deliver electricity from a particular input to a particular output. In some embodiments, the DC meter is configured to enable transition of electricity between an input and an output in a bi-directional manner. In some embodiments, the DC meter can record an amount of electricity transmitted in either direction.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a novel utility meter with an integrated backup power transfer system. In some embodiments, the system is capable of sensing and switching between multiple power sources. In some embodiments, the system is configured to supply power from multiple backup power sources in parallel. In some embodiments, the system is configured to execute artificial intelligence locally on the utility meter to avoid sending large amounts of raw data to a central computer through a network. In some embodiments, the local AI includes one or more AI models configured to execute load forecasting, anomaly detection, and/or energy optimization. In some embodiments, the local AI is configured to analyze the raw electrical data collected by sensors in communication with the utility meter computer. In some embodiments, the local AI is configured to execute control commands for one or more load devices based on the analysis.
