Abstract
Systems and methods for coordinating selective activation of a multiplicity of emergency power generation equipment over a predetermined geographic area for distribution and/or storage to supply a microgrid of electrical power for a substantially similar geographic area.
Claims20
A method for power generation and management, comprising:
- providing a central controller and a distributed power generation system for providing emergency back-up power supply for a microgrid;
- wherein the distributed power generation system comprises at least two types of equipment for providing electric power;
- communicatively connecting the distributed power system with the central controller;
- the central controller optimizing power generation timing, management, storage and distribution to the microgrid;
- the central controller coordinating selective activation of the at least two types of equipment for providing electric power.
