SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MICROGRID POWER GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for power generation and management comprising the steps of:
- providing a distributed power generation system including at least one piece of equipment for generating electrical power located at predetermined, distributed locations for providing emergency back-up power supply for use at the locations of power generation, without distribution of the electrical power beyond the locality where it is generated;
selectively activating the power generation equipment to produce electricity for distribution over a microgrid and/or for storage until later distribution over the microgrid.
