Managing grid interaction with an interconnect socket adapter configured for a solar power source
First Claim
1. A system for managing grid interaction with a solar power source, comprising:
- an energy exchange server, a plurality of solar energy sources, a plurality of interconnect socket adapters, and a plurality of energy exchange controllers, each energy exchange controller being communicatively coupled to one of the plurality of interconnect socket adapters;
wherein the one of the plurality of interconnect socket adapters electrically couples to the power grid, one or more energy sinks, and one of the plurality of solar energy sources; and
wherein the energy exchange server comprises a processor and a non-statutory computer readable medium with software embedded thereon, the software configured to;
receive, from each interconnect socket adapter, a real-time energy consumption data set;
receive, from a real-time energy pricing database, a set of environmental parameters and a starting energy price;
receive, from each interconnect socket adapter and one or more energy production facilities, a real-time energy production data set;
generate a current aggregate electricity demand value as a function of the real-time energy consumption data set and the environmental parameters;
generate a current aggregate electricity supply value as a function of the real-time energy production dataset and the environmental parameters; and
generate a current energy price as a function of the starting energy price, the current aggregate electricity demand value, and the current aggregate electricity supply value.

Abstract
A system for managing grid interaction with a solar power source includes an energy exchange server, a plurality of solar energy sources, a plurality of interconnect socket adapters, and a plurality of energy exchange controllers, each energy exchange controller coupling to one of the plurality of interconnect socket adapters and dictating energy consumption based on energy pricing data received from the energy exchange server. Each interconnect socket adapter electrically couples to the power grid, one or more energy sinks, and a solar energy source, and the energy exchange server receives a real-time energy consumption data set, a real-time energy production data set, a set of environmental parameters and a starting energy price, and generates a current aggregate electricity demand value as a function of the real-time energy consumption data set and the environmental parameters, a current aggregate electricity supply value as a function of the real-time energy production dataset and the environmental parameters, and a current energy price as a function of the starting energy price, the current aggregate electricity demand value, and the current aggregate electricity supply value.
