Real time system and method for optimizing and managing a load in an electrical grid

A system implemented in hardware, comprising:

• a domain server operable to:
• receive an event notification from a subscriber device associated with a mobile device;
• determine grid information of an electrical grid comprising at least one charging station operable to charge the mobile device;
• determine charging station information of a preferred charging station in the electrical grid based on the event notification, the grid information, and grid configuration rules;
• and
• configure the electrical grid based on at least one of the event notification, the grid information, and the charging station information.

A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having readable program code embodied in the storage medium, the computer program product includes at least one component operable to:

• detect an event at a mobile device;
• send a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message comprising an event notification to a presence server in an electrical grid;
• and
• receive charging station information of a preferred charging station in the electrical grid, which instructs a user of the mobile device to travel to the preferred charging station, wherein the preferred charging station is operable to charge the mobile device.

A method of optimizing and managing loads in an electrical grid, comprising:

• providing a computer infrastructure, being operable to:
• receive an event notification associated with a mobile device requiring a charge;
• determine charging station information of at least one charging station in an electrical grid based on the event notification, the at least one charging station operable to charge the mobile device;
• and
• send the charging station information of the at least one charging station to a user of the mobile device.

A computer system for optimizing and managing loads in an electrical grid, the system comprising:

• a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media;
• first program instructions to receive an event notification of a subscriber device associated with a mobile device;
• second program instructions to determine grid information of the electrical grid comprising at least one charging station operable to charge the mobile device;
• third program instructions to receive grid configuration rules indicating how to configure the electrical grid in response to charging of mobile devices, from a rules database;
• fourth program instructions to determine charging station information of a preferred charging station in the electrical grid based on the event notification, the grid information, and the grid configuration rules;
• fifth program instructions to send the charging station information to the subscriber device;
• sixth program instructions to update the grid information based on the event notification, the grid information, and the charging station information;
• and
• seventh program instructions to configure the electrical grid based on at least one of the event notification, the updated grid information, and the charging station information,
• wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
