MANAGING DEVICES WITHIN MICRO-GRIDS
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management (EM) system, including criticality information obtained from a universal appliance service (UAS) system;
receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid;
receiving a power request from the power consuming device; and
determining, by a computing device, that the power consuming device receives power from the power supply device, based on the criticality information and the power supply information.

Abstract
An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices based on using priority levels for each of the power consuming and supply devices. The approach includes the steps of receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management, including criticality information obtained from a universal appliance service system. The approach further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid, and receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The approach further includes determining that the power consuming device receives power from the power supply device, based on the criticality information and the power supply information.

14. A system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media; program instructions to receive information regarding one or more power consuming devices; program instructions to receive criticality levels for each of the power consuming devices as obtained from a universal appliance service (UAS) system in direct communication with an energy management (EM) system; program instructions to receive power supply information regarding one or more power supply devices; program instructions to determine that power is available from the power supply devices to operate a selected one or more of the power consuming devices; and program instructions to place a request for power of a non-critical power consuming device of the one or more power consuming devices into a queue for a delayed operating time when there is not enough power to operate both a critical power consuming device and the non-critical power consuming device; wherein each of the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product comprising a computer usage storage device having readable computer code embodied in the storage device, the computer program product includes at least one component to:
-
receive power consumption information for a power consuming device from a third party; receive, from an energy management (EM) system, a location, an identifier, and a device type for the power consuming device; determine electrical characteristics of the power consuming device based on the power consumption information, and the identifier and the device type received from the EM system; determine criticality of the power consuming device based on the power consumption information and the location, the identifier and the device type received from the EM system; and send the criticality of the power consuming device to the EM system.
