Abstract:
Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for monitoring and using data in an electric power grid. For example, one disclosed embodiment comprises a sensor for measuring an electrical characteristic of a power line, electrical generator, or electrical device; a network interface; a processor; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions. In this embodiment, the computer-executable instructions include instructions for implementing an authorization and authentication module for validating a software agent received at the network interface; instructions for implementing one or more agent execution environments for executing agent code that is included with the software agent and that causes data from the sensor to be collected; and instructions for implementing an agent packaging and instantiation module for storing the collected data in a data container of the software agent and for transmitting the software agent, along with the stored data, to a next destination.

Claim (Index 40):
A method, comprising:\n receiving information indicative of an energy use goal for one or more distribution power lines in a power network for a time period; receiving information from one or more remote households coupled to respective ones of the distribution power lines, the information from the one or more remote households comprising information indicating an energy demand priority level for each respective remote household; determining an energy demand priority level for a local household; and determining whether to activate one or more electrical devices at the local household during the time period based at least in part on the information indicative of the energy use goal, the information indicating the energy demand priority level for each respective remote household, and the energy demand priority level for the local household.
