  • System and method to determining efficiency of a smart appliance and providing feedback based of efficiencies of similar smart appliances in a smart grid network
    Patent number: 10811901
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for determining the efficiency of a smart appliance in a smart grid network and providing feedback based on the efficiencies of similar smart appliances in the smart grid network. The system includes a central controller in digital communication with a network component of a smart grid and smart appliances in the smart grid network. The smart appliances are associated with ADLs. An energy consumption measurement is calculated for the smart appliances for each ADL. A notification is transmitted from the central controller to a smart appliance or to the owner of the smart appliance indicating to repair or replace the smart appliance when the energy consumption measurement is below an inefficiency threshold. The energy consumption measurement is determined based on data such as appliance meta data, smart meter data, a user profile, user demographics, a user specific ADL schedule, and historical data.
