Patent ID: 7925387

Claim:
A method for using excess energy generated by a renewable power generation system including a renewable power generator to treat organic waste material to generate crude oil, said method comprising: providing a renewable power generation management system operatively coupled to the renewable power generation system; receiving at the renewable power generation management system operational data from a pump load operatively coupled to the renewable power generator, the operational data related to at least one of current energy requirements and anticipated energy requirements for treating the organic waste material; receiving at the renewable power generation management system operational data from an electrical grid operatively coupled to the renewable power generator, the operational data related to at least one of a current electrical distribution load and an anticipated electrical distribution load; determining based at least in part on anticipated energy requirements an amount of excess energy to supply to the pump load to facilitate treating the organic waste material to generate crude oil; supplying the determined amount of excess energy to the pump load; and generating microwave energy from the excess energy, and using the microwave energy to generate crude oil from the organic waste material.
