  • Patent number: 10915130
    Abstract: An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices based on using priority levels for each of the power consuming and supply devices. The approach includes the steps of receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management, including criticality information obtained from a universal appliance service system. The approach further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid, and receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The approach further includes determining that the power consuming device receives power from the power supply device, based on the criticality information and the power supply information.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150094871
    Abstract: An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices using a centralized system. The approach includes a method for configuring micro-grids that comprises the steps of receiving information of a power consuming device and criticality of the power consuming device from a universal appliance service (UAS) system. The method further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid from the UAS system. The method further includes receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The method further includes determining, by a computing device, power requirements for the power consuming device based on the information, the criticality of the power consuming device, and the power supply information.
