Abstract: A system for accounting for and allocating energy value amongst (i) energy equivalent quantity (EEQ) suppliers associated with supplier accounts and that contribute EEQ to a total energy supply and (ii) energy consumers associated with a consumer account and that issue energy demands for energy. An energy cloud value allocation system (e-cloud) facilitates and controls an exchange of EEQ and energy between the EEQ suppliers and the energy consumers. The e-cloud receives EEQ contributions from the EEQ suppliers and generates energy credits, where a value of each energy credit is based on the EEQ contribution. The e-cloud is also configured to receive energy demands from the energy consumers and to satisfy the energy demands by delivering energy and EEQ to the consumers. Finally, the e-cloud generates energy debits, where a value of each energy debit is based on the EEQ that is delivered to the energy consumer from the e-cloud in response to energy demands.

Abstract: A system and method for distributing energy including an energy generation source that is adapted to generate a generation source portion of energy, energy consumers that each have a demand level, an e-cloud that is adapted to receive a portion of the generation source portion of energy and distribute an e-cloud portion of energy, a processor that is adapted to control the distribution of energy, and a utility that is adapted to communicate with the system. The processor causes the energy generation source to transmit an energy consumer generation source portion substantially equal to or less than an individual energy consumer demand to each of the energy consumers and an e-cloud energy portion to the e-cloud. The processor also causes the e-cloud to transmit an energy consumer e-cloud amount of energy substantially equal to or less than each of the individual energy consumer demands to each of the energy consumers.

Abstract: A system and method for storing and distributing energy including an energy generation source that is adapted to generate a supply level, an energy consumer that has a demand level, an energy storage unit that is adapted to receive and store a first portion of the energy and distribute a second portion of energy, an e-cloud that is adapted to receive a third portion of the energy and distribute a fourth portion of the energy, a processor that is adapted to control the distribution of energy to and from the energy storage unit, and a utility that is adapted to communicate with the system. The processor causes energy to be stored in the energy storage unit and received by the e-cloud when the supply level of energy exceeds the demand level and causes energy to be distributed to the energy consumer when the demand level exceeds the supply level.
