METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING POWER FLOW SIGNATURES
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one determination of one or more power flows transmitted over at least one electrical power grid; and
an encoding of one or more identification signals into the one or more power flows,wherein the one or more identification signals, at least in part, distinguish the one or more power flows from one or more other power flows transmitted over the at least one electrical power grid.

Abstract
An approach for enabling identification of different types and sources of power being distributed over an electrical power grid is disclosed. An energy management module determines one or more power flows transmitted over at least one electrical power grid. The energy management module then causes a encoding of one or more identification signals into the one or more power flows. The one or more identification signals distinguish the one or more power flows from one or more other power flows transmitted over the at least one electrical power grid.

7. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
-
a reception of one or more power flows transmitted over at least one electrical power grid; a decoding of one or more identification signals from the one or more power flows; and a processing of the one or more identification signals to cause, at least in part, a selection, a use, a filtering, or a combination thereof of the one or more power flows. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine one or more power flows transmitted over at least one electrical power grid; and cause, at least in part, an encoding of one or more identification signals into the one or more power flows, wherein the one or more identification signals, at least in part, distinguish the one or more power flows from one or more other power flows transmitted over the at least one electrical power grid. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
