Patent ID: 7769495

Claim:
A power management system for a hydrogen generation network comprising: a. a decentralized hydrogen generation network comprising at least one hydrogen generating device operable by at least one dispatchable power source comprising dispatchable power source information, at least one non-dispatchable power source comprising non-dispatchable power source information, or combinations thereof; b. an administrator interface for transmitting at least one message from an administrator to a hydrogen generation network, wherein the administrator interface comprises at least one processor in communication with data storage; c. a dynamic information database resident in the data storage, wherein the dynamic information database comprises: i. at least one hydrogen generating device identification for the at least one hydrogen generating device, discretionary power consumption information of the at least one hydrogen generating device, or combinations thereof; ii. the dispatchable power source information, the non-dispatchable power source information, or combinations thereof; d. computer instructions resident in the data storage for instructing the at least one processor to provide the at least one message to the hydrogen generation network; and wherein an administrator initiates distribution of the at least one message to the hydrogen generation network for providing the non-dispatchable power information, the dispatchable power information, or combinations thereof to the hydrogen generation network through at least one industry standard protocol, and wherein the at least one hydrogen generating device provides at least one response to the administrator interface.
