1. An apparatus operably coupled to an electrical power grid and including a distributed power generator, the apparatus comprising:
- a charge/discharge controller capable of transferring energy generated by the distributed power generator to the power grid and capable of transferring energy from the power grid to the apparatus, and an adaptive controller that directs, based upon a correlation between at least one selected parameter and a profile, whether the charge/discharge controller transfers energy generated by the distributed power generator to the electrical power grid or from the power grid to the apparatus.

Abstract
A system that couples distributed power generators together as a collective unit for the purposes of selling or purchasing energy from the electrical power grid. The apparatus includes a charge/discharge controller and an adaptive controller. The charge/discharge controller transfers energy generated by the plurality of distributed power generators to the power grid. The adaptive controller directs when the charge/discharge controller transfers energy generated by at least one of the plurality of distributed power generators to the electrical grid.

30. A method for coupling an apparatus including a distributed power genrator to an electrical power grid, comprising:
-
determining, based upon a correlation between at least one selected parameter and a profile, whether to transfer energy from the distributed power generator to the electrical grid or to transfer energy from the electrical grid to the apparatus, and selectively transferring energy from the distributed power generator to the electrical grid or form the electrical grid to the apparatus through a charge/discharge controller in response to the determining step. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
