Power Generation and Control System

摘要

A power generation and control system is easily installed in a consumer household, a business, or and end-user establishment for generating power and preventing power from flowing to a power grid from a consumer circuit during a power outage. A communications transceiver is adapted to transmit an enabling signal for enabling power generation only after the control system has been installed. The control system can be adapted to replace an existing circuit breaker in a household circuit box and prevents power from traveling from consumer power generators to the grid during a power outage. In the same manner that end-users can add appliances to existing circuits, end-users can easily add additional power generation devices without hiring a professional electrician and without worrying about causing harm to utility workman during power outages.

1. A power generation and control system comprising:
a power generation device attached to a branch circuit of a circuit located in an end user establishment; and a controller configured to control a flow of power between a power grid and the circuit, the controller including:
a power sensor configured to sense the flow of power;a power control switch configured to interrupt the flow of power when there is no power in the power grid, wherein the power generation device is attached to the branch circuit downstream of the controller.
