Abstract: According to one embodiment, a power control apparatus includes a receiving unit, an environment-data acquiring unit, and a calculation unit. The receiving unit receives, from a power supplying side, a power-consumption reduction request for reducing power consumption at a power demanding side. The environmental data acquiring unit acquires, from the power demanding side, environmental data representing environmental state of the power demanding side. The calculating unit calculates a power-reduction value based on the environmental data, in response to the power-consumption reduction request.

Abstract: An energy management system within a building obtains energy usage data over several cycles to determine a minimum feasible load. The minimum feasible load corresponds to operational conditions of the building, such as occupied or unoccupied. The energy usage data is binned according to the operational condition under which it was obtained. A threshold based on the minimum feasible load is used to monitor energy usage within the building and to identify anomalies in energy demand for possible action.

Abstract: A power distribution unit (PDU) is disclosed wherein the PDU includes an interactive display and communications capability. The display is interactive. A touch screen allows a user to make selections of data, commands, and modes to view, as well as enter commands. Some versions include audio and video capability, allowing two people from distant locations to interact. Ports for USB, Ethernet, wifi, Bluetooth provide for various methods of interconnectivity. An energy metering and control board controls each PDU outlet and measures many parameters related to the power of each outlet. The data obtained is used to calculate the power of a three phase power source using no other hardware resources.

Abstract: This invention discloses a system and method for interactively managing one or more electric generators that are supplying electric power to one building or to a building complex. The primary application is for providing emergency power in the case of unavailability of the electric utility power. The primary advantage of this approach is that it permits the use of smaller, more cost effective generators for backup during utility outages by powering limited parts of the building equipment depending on the varying needs of equipment in the building during the outage. The features that permit use of smaller generators are the provision of real time data from all relevant sources and the provision of methods to respond in real time as the data are received.

Abstract: A dynamic power control system for controlling power utilization on a local level in a power sub-network of a power grid is presented. The power sub-network is configured with switchable power nodes, each having an associated priority level and each having a switch element that operates to switch coupling and uncoupling of first and second subsets of power lines in the sub-network. A sub-network controller monitors utility information that is associated with one of a plurality of system priority levels each of which is associated with one of a plurality of switch state configurations of the respective switch states of the switchable power nodes in the power sub-network, and effects the switch states of the switchable power nodes to comply with the switch state configuration associated with the received utility information.
