Secure Control System for Multistage Thermo Acoustic Micro-CHP Generator

A method of controlling facility power requirements using a thermoacoustic power device, comprising:

• a. determining energy assets in a facility, wherein power requirements and a unique electrical signature of said energy assets are identified, wherein said energy assets comprise electrical appliances, heating appliances, and cooling appliances;
• b. controlling said energy assets using an appropriately programmed controller, wherein said controller controls said energy assets across a computer network, wherein said controller comprises a security system protocol;
• c. monitoring outside temperatures and weather using sensors controlled by said controller and receiving weather data via said network;
• d. measuring usage of said energy assets using sensors, wherein said sensors comprise a temperature sensor or an electrical usage sensor, wherein said electrical usage sensor measures a load-response signal of an on/off operation of said energy assets, wherein said load-response signal identifies a specific energy asset by said controller, wherein said controller monitors energy usage of said energy assets, wherein said controller uses said monitored temperature, said monitored weather and said monitored energy usage of said energy assets to determine aggregate energy needs of said energy assets;
• and
• e. using a thermoacoustic power device to generate electricity and heat to said facility according to said monitored temperature, said monitored weather and said monitored energy assets, wherein said thermoacoustic power device is controlled by said controller.
