Abstract: An energy control and storage system includes an energy monitor, a power controller, an energy storage device, and a computing unit. The energy monitor monitors power provided between an electric distribution system and a load. The power controller exchanges power with the energy monitor and receives power from a power generation system. The energy storage device stores energy received through the power controller. The computing unit receives a load shape from outside the energy control and storage system. The computing unit controls power exchanged between the energy control and storage system and the electric distribution system based on power indicated by the load shape that changes in response to varying conditions affecting the electric distribution system.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to predict demand pricing events and forecast changes in price based on data collected from a distributed network of control systems and sensors. In one embodiment, the method uses a distributed network of systems and sensors to collect and monitor data that may be used to predict and preempt electrical grid demand events including black outs and brown outs. Through real-time analysis of data such as voltage, frequency, power, temperature from the distributed systems, and the condition of an electrical grid at a specific Sub-Load Aggregation Point (Sub-LAP) are modeled and determine the value of stored energy, energy generation, and load curtailment in advance of market signals.
