Patent ID: 8849472

Claim:
An electrical system configured to control power delivery from a power supply to one or more alternate current circuits, the electrical system being packaged in an enclosure configured to be mounted in a circuit breaker panel, the electrical system comprising: a sensor configured to generate a sensor output signal conveying information related to power delivered from the power supply to a first alternate current circuit; a processor configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising: an interface module configured to convey power information to a user, wherein the power information is related to power delivered from the power supply to the first alternate current circuit, an analysis module configured to: analyze power usage of the first alternate current circuit to determine a power usage pattern of the first alternate current circuit, and create new rules and/or adapt existing rules based on the determined power usage pattern, the rules being configured for determining whether the first alternate current circuit should be energized or deactivated, a trigger module configured to identify trigger events, wherein the trigger events comprise trigger events identified based on application of the rules, and a control module configured to reversibly effectuate energization and deactivation of the first alternate current circuit based on trigger events identified by the trigger module.
