Method and apparatus for automatically reconfiguring multi-phased networked energy storage devices at a site

A system for managing power delivery, comprising:

• a first storage device that is in electric communication with a multiphase electric power line, wherein the first storage device comprises a first energy source and a first system controller;
• a second storage device that is in electric communication with the multiphase electric power line, wherein the second storage device comprises a second energy source and a second system controller;
• and
• a power monitor controller that is in communication with the first storage device and the second storage device, and receives configuration information from the first and second storage devices, the configuration information received from the first storage device specifying a first phase coupled to the first storage device and the configuration information received from the second storage device specifying a second phase coupled to the second storage device,
• wherein the first system controller controls a transfer of energy between the multiphase electric power line and the first storage device, and the amount of energy transferred based, at least in part, on the configuration information received from the first and second storage devices.

A method of managing power at an electric load location, comprising:

• receiving, at a power monitor that is coupled to an electric power line, telemetry data comprising configuration information from a first storage device after the first storage device is coupled to the electric power line, the configuration information specifying a first phase to which the first storage device is coupled, wherein the first storage device comprises a first energy source and a first system controller;
• storing, at the power monitor, the telemetry data in memory;
• and
• controlling, via the first system controller coupled to the power monitor, a transfer of power between the first storage device and the electric power line using information derived from the telemetry data received from the first storage device.
