Abstract
An energy monitoring and analysis system is provided. Sensors are attached to circuit breakers to collect energy consumption data. The energy consumption data is analyzed to determine events associated with the circuit. An energy monitoring system comprising a paddle having one or more sensors can be affixed to existing circuit breakers and provide communication with the energy analysis system. From the events notifications and alerts can be generated to inform consumers such as a utility, monitoring company or end user.
Claims22
An energy monitoring system for monitoring power usage in a circuit breaker, the system comprising:
- a paddle module;
- one or more sensor modules extending from the paddle module, the sensor modules affixing to an external portion of a circuit breaker in a circuit breaker panel, each sensor module for determining energy consumption associate with the circuit breaker;
- and
- a communication module coupled to the paddle module for relaying energy consumption data from the one or more circuit breakers to a management system.
An energy monitoring and analysis system comprising:
- an energy monitoring system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory containing instruction which when executed by the processor for performing:
- receiving energy consumption data from a sensor modules extending from a paddle module, the sensor modules affixing to an external portion of a circuit breaker in a circuit breaker panel, each sensor module for determining energy consumption associate with the circuit breaker;
- determining an event from the received energy consumption data;
- and
- sending the energy consumption data associated with the event to a network;
- an energy analysis system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory containing instruction which when executed by the processor for performing:
- receiving energy consumption data from the energy monitoring system through the network from the energy monitoring system;
- determining a profile of one or more loads connected to the circuit breaker associated with the consumption data;
- determining a notification or alert from the received energy consumption data based upon the profile;
- and
- sending the notification or alert to a consumer associated with the energy monitoring system.
A non-transitory computer readable memory containing instructions which when executed by a processor performing:
- receiving consumption data from a plurality of sensor modules extending from a paddle module, the sensor modules affixing to an external portion of a circuit breaker in the circuit breaker panel, each sensor module for determining energy consumption associate with the circuit breaker;
- determining an event from the received energy consumption data;
- and
- sending the energy consumption data associated with the event an energy analysis system.
