Abstract:
1. A real-time energy usage data storage distribution process comprising: receiving incoming energy usage information data and an origination information data at a logger device, the origination information data indicative of a particular sensor device from which the incoming energy usage information data was received; determining to which plurality of non-volatile storage devices, each non-volatile storage device from a respective group of non-volatile storage devices, to distribute and store the energy usage information data, based on the origination information data; wherein the logger device executes a determination of where to store the incoming energy usage information data by performing a spreading algorithm on the origination information data, the spreading algorithm performs a modulus operation which is a calculation performed on the origination information data resulting in a remainder used to determine to which non-volatile storage device from the respective group of non-volatile storage devices the incoming energy usage information data is to be distributed and stored; wherein the received incoming energy usage information data is received from a plurality of agent devices; and wherein the received incoming energy usage information data is an energy usage data packet including origination information, timestamp, and energy usage information.
