  • Publication number: 20260100603
    Abstract: A smart load control device can include a network interface controller (NIC) including memory storing one or more distributed intelligence (DI) agents that configure the smart load control device to perform operations such as monitoring electricity consumption by a first load at a first service site; receiving operational status data representing an operational status of a second load at a second service site; and/or controlling provision of control circuit wiring or mains power to the first load based at least in part on monitoring the first load and the operational status of the second load, to maintain a total electricity consumption of the first service site and the second service site below a threshold electricity consumption.

  • Publication number: 20260088651
    Abstract: A method for testing an electrical device installed in an energy system includes: receiving an identifier and a test identification (testID) associated with the electrical device; validating the identifier and the testID; in response to determining that the electrical device is registered and communicating: setting and storing a polling rate and a posting rate of the electrical device, setting a first plurality of pre-conditions associated with a first test, and in response to determining that the first plurality of pre-conditions is met, performing the first test by: executing a first set of test commands associated with the first test, receiving responses to the first set of test commands of the electrical device, determining first test results based on the responses to the first set of test commands, storing the first test results, and determining whether the electrical device has passed the first test.

  • Publication number: 20260086171
    Abstract: A method and system for testing an electrical device in an energy system are provided. The method includes: selecting a test suite to run against the electrical device based on a type of the electrical device; in response to determining that an output power of the electrical device is greater than a preselected minimum threshold: determining that the electrical device is energized, and running the test suite; in response to determining that the electrical device has passed the test suite: attaching the electrical device to a designated service point in a topology structure, marking a state of the electrical device to active, and activating the electrical device in the energy system; and in response to determining that the electrical device has not passed the test suite: attaching the electrical device to a limited node in the topology structure, and limiting the electrical device to function within a default control limit.

  • Publication number: 20250062622
    Abstract: A method and system for managing demand and electricity supply are disclosed. A distributed energy resource optimizer (DERO) of the system may determine demand for electricity associated with a plurality of premises connected to an electrical grid where the plurality of premises includes one or more distributed generation systems, determine available electricity supply for the plurality of premises, and compare the demand with the available electricity supply. In response to determining that the demand is higher than the available electricity supply, the DERO may cause one or more storage devices associated with the one or more distributed generation systems to supply electricity to the plurality of premises. In response to determining that the demand is lower than the available electricity supply, the DERO may cause the one or more storage devices to store excess electricity supply.

  • Patent number: 9002524
    Abstract: A system for establishing local control of a space conditioning load includes a switch for controlling a flow of energy for a space conditioning load. Control logic is operatively coupled to the switch, for receiving control parameters associated with a direct load control event from a utility provider. The control logic may also measure room temperature based on received temperature signals and determine if a room temperature is greater a comfort temperature range. The control logic may eliminate operation of a direct load control program if the room temperature is greater than or equal to the comfort temperature range. The control logic may log and signal back to the utility provider that the comfort temperature range is exceeded. The control logic may then restore local control of the switch and initiate a temperature setback control to a thermostat for the remainder of the control period.
