Abstract:
1. A method comprising computer implemented steps of: providing specific action sequences in a modular power control unit (MPCU) associated with each consumer and an indication of a geoboundary event; providing specific action sequences in the MPCU associated with each consumer and a radio frequency identification (RFID) event, the specific action sequences for the indication of the geoboundary event being different from the specific action sequences for the occurrence of the RFID event; receiving the indication of the geoboundary event; determining the occurrence of the RFID event; and adjusting one or more power consumption settings by controlling a power grid or an environment internet protocol (IP) network of an environment to effect the specific action sequences associated with each consumer and the indication of the geoboundary event based on the receiving of the indication of the geoboundary event and to effect the specific action sequences associated with each consumer and indication of the geoboundary event based on the determination of the occurrence of the RFID event.
