Abstract
A method and system are associated with distributed generation of electric power. Power demand data of at least one electric power consumer is monitored over time. Power supply data of a regional power distribution system is also monitored over time. The power demand data and the power supply data are analyzed to coordinate control of at least one distributed generation system associated with the electric power consumer.
Claims43
A method associated with distributed generation of electric power, the method comprising:
- monitoring power demand data over time of at least one electric power consumer;
- monitoring power supply data over time of a regional power distribution system;
- and
- analyzing the power demand data and power supply data to coordinate control of at least one distributed generation system associated with the electric power consumer.
A method associated with distributed generation of electric power, the method comprising:
- analyzing power demand data of at least one electric power consumer associated with at least one distributed generation system;
- and
- determining an optimal control threshold condition for the distributed generation system for automatically commencing generation of electric power for the electric power consumer when the threshold condition occurs.
A user interface for monitoring at least one distributed generation system, the interface comprising:
- a power demand section for displaying power demand data associated with at least one electric power consumer;
- a power usage section for displaying power usage data associated with the electric power consumer including power usage data associated with at least one distributed generation system associated with the electric power consumer;
- and
- a power cost section for displaying power cost data associated with the power usage data.
A user interface for monitoring at least one distributed generation system, the interface comprising:
- a meter section for displaying parametric data associated with at least one distributed generation system;
- and
- an alarms section for displaying a visual warning indicative of an abnormal operating condition associated with the distributed generation system.
A user interface for monitoring at least one distributed generation system, the interface comprising:
- a present thresholds section for displaying present threshold data indicating existing threshold conditions at which at least one distributed generation system automatically commences generation of electrical power;
- and
- a historical thresholds section for displaying historical threshold data associated with the distributed generation system.
