DISTRIBUTED ENERGY STORAGE FOR REDUCING POWER DEMAND

摘要

Mating an energy storage component (112) and a power conversion and delivery component (114) with computer intelligence and digital data communications hardware helps to effectively and efficiently monitor and react to the power demand profile at a location (100) in an advanced manner without expensive industrial controls or human interaction A local power source includes an energy storage component and a power conversion and delivery component, and delivers power to a load or a load group The local power source (110) is controlled by a control component (116) including, for example, digital computer hardware and digital communications hardware The control component is capable of monitoring power demand, detecting various stimuli, and triggering a reaction by the local power source to reduce peak demand.
