MANAGING DEVICES IN MICRO-GRIDS
First Claim
1. A method for configuring micro-grids comprising the steps of:
- receiving information of a power consuming device and criticality of the power consuming device from a universal appliance service (UAS) system;
receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid from the UAS system;
receiving a power request from the power consuming device; and
determining, by a computing device, power requirements for the power consuming device based on the information, the criticality of the power consuming device, and the power supply information.

Abstract
An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices using a centralized system. The approach includes a method for configuring micro-grids that comprises the steps of receiving information of a power consuming device and criticality of the power consuming device from a universal appliance service (UAS) system. The method further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid from the UAS system. The method further includes receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The method further includes determining, by a computing device, power requirements for the power consuming device based on the information, the criticality of the power consuming device, and the power supply information.

15. A system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media; program instructions to receive information for power consuming devices and power supply information for power supply devices from validated third party sources other than the power consuming devices; program instructions to determine criticality levels of the power consuming devices based on a location for each of the power consuming devices and a device type for each of the power consuming devices; and program instructions to send the criticality levels to a micro-grid manager, wherein the micro-grid manager determines that power is available from the power supply devices to operate the power consuming devices based on the criticality levels; 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 (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product for determining criticality, the computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having program code embodied in the storage medium, the program code readable/executable by a computing device operable to:
-
receive real time information for a power consuming device from a UAS system, wherein the real time information includes the criticality of the power consuming device; receive real time power supply information of a power supply device from the UAS system; determine a power flow for a micro-grid based on the real time information and the power supply information; determine reliability of the micro-grid based on the power flow; determine real time electrical status of the micro-grid based on the real time information and the real time power supply information; receive an enablement request for power from the power consuming device; determine whether there is available power for the power consuming device based on the real time electrical status of the micro-grid; determine whether the power consuming device has priority for the available power over other power consuming devices based on the criticality of the power consuming device; and send the available power to the power consuming device based on the priority of the power consuming device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
