Patent ID: 10389168

Abstract:
Various embodiments include an “Intuitive System” which detects the state of grid power at home or in commercial places and/or regions and manages the operation of various electrical and electronic systems accordingly. In various embodiments, a server may receive data from devices positioned throughout the grid. The server may aggregate, analyze, present, and/or act upon the received data. The system may enable providers to manage the health of grid power, monitor reports of power failures, analyze causes and durations of failures, engage in demand response, determine peak power demands, etc. The system may actively reduce demands for power, including, for example, by selectively reducing grid power available to constituents. However, constituents may have the capability to turn to back-up power systems, whose existence may be a determining factor in which constituents receive reduced grid power. The Intuitive System may also reduce grid load by turning down high-power devices.
