  • Publication number: 20150149249
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing energy arbitrage among different pre-defined regions. The system includes a plurality of power management devices within the different pre-defined regions to obtain power consumption data from corresponding customer facilities. An arbitrage server communicates with the plurality of power management devices and aggregates the power consumption data for the plurality of power management devices to determine a total power consumed within a same pre-defined region and obtains energy supply data to determine a total power supplied to the same pre-defined region. The arbitrage server further compares the total power consumed and the total power supplied within the same pre-defined region and performs one of offering to sell energy to a different pre-defined region when the total power supplied exceeds the total power consumed or offering to purchase energy from the different pre-defined region when the total power consumed exceeds the total power supplied.

  • Publication number: 20140343744
    Abstract: An energy savings device, system and method are provided to improve electric utility grid stability by reducing power demand at a point of consumption. The method may include monitoring a power signal characteristic, obtaining a stability parameter for the utility grid, determining a stability condition based on the monitored power signal characteristic and the stability parameter; and regulating, at the point of consumption, an amount of energy received from the utility grid based on the determined stability condition. The system may include an energy savings system in communication with the electric utility grid and a processor and non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to perform the method.
