1. A powered building system comprising:
a building having an electric power distribution system that receives electrical power from an electrical grid and/or one or more solar panels, the electrical power distribution system comprising a plurality power lines running through walls of the building that distribute electrical power about the building to a plurality of receptacles at different locations about the building;
a plurality of load sources disposed at the different locations about the building, the load sources comprising one or more of a heat pump, an electric stove, a refrigerator, and a water heater; and
a plurality of battery systems disposed at the different locations about the building, with each of the battery systems associated with a different respective receptacle of the plurality of receptacles and respectively with one of the load sources, the plurality of battery systems including:
a first battery system that is an integral component of and disposed within a housing of a first load source of the plurality of load sources, the first load source comprising a first power cord plugged into a first receptacle of the plurality of receptacles, the first battery system comprising a first battery configured to obtain and store power from the first receptacle, the first load source being configured to be fully powered by power stored by the first battery and configured to be fully powered by power obtained from the first receptacle and configured to be partially powered by both the first battery and power obtained from the first receptacle;
a second battery system that includes a second battery and a second receptacle of the plurality of receptacles, the second battery system disposed within a wall of the building, with a second load source comprising a second power cord plugged into the second receptacle of the plurality of receptacles, with the second battery configured to obtain and store power from the electrical power distribution system, the second load source being configured to be fully powered by power stored by the second battery and configured to be fully powered by power obtained from the electrical power distribution system and configured to be partially powered by both the second battery and power obtained from the electrical power distribution system; and
a third battery system electrically disposed between a third load source and a third receptacle of the plurality of receptacles, the third battery system comprising a third electrical power cord plugged into the third receptacle, with the third load source comprising a fourth power cord plugged into a fourth receptacle of the third load source, the third battery system comprising a third battery configured to obtain and store power from the third receptacle, the third load source being configured to be fully powered by power stored by the third battery and configured to be fully powered by power obtained from the third receptacle via the third battery system and configured to be partially powered by both the third battery and power obtained from the third receptacle via the third battery system;
wherein the first, second and third battery systems each further comprise:
a processor,
a memory,
a battery control system,
an interface, and
an electrical power bus.
