METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR UTILIZING EXCESS ENERGY GENERATED BY A RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION SYSTEM TO TREAT ORGANIC WASTE MATERIAL
First Claim
1. A method for using excess energy generated by a renewable power generation system including at least one 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; and
,supplying the determined amount of excess energy to the pump load.

Abstract
A method for using excess energy generated by a renewable power generation system including at least one renewable power generator to treat organic waste material to generate crude oil. The method includes providing a renewable power generation management system operatively coupled to the renewable power generation system. The renewable power generation management system receives operational data from a pump load operatively coupled to the renewable power generator, and/or operational data from an electrical grid operatively coupled to the renewable power generator. Based at least in part on anticipated energy requirements, excess energy is supplied to the pump load to facilitate treating the organic waste material to generate crude oil.
