Methods and systems involving databases for energy microgeneration data
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing electrical generation data comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, data associated with a multiple generating devices at a metered location and storing the data associated with the generating device in a database;
receiving, at the processor, data associated with time periods that said generating devices is used at the metered location and storing the data in the database;
processing, using the processor, the data associated with a generating device and the data associated and the time periods that the generating device is used at the metered location to identify time periods that the generating device outputs electrical power to an electrical grid;
the processor receiving grid loading data indicative of peak grid loading time periods and identifying the preferred time period based on correlating the time periods that the generating device outputs electrical power to the electrical grid with the peak grid loading time periods; and
sending a notification to the metered location indicating a preferred time period for the generating device to output electrical power to the electrical grid based on the time periods identified that the generating device outputs electrical power to the electrical grid.

Abstract
A method for analyzing electrical generation data includes receiving data associated with a generating device at a metered location and storing the data associated with the generating device in a database, receiving data associated with time periods that the generating device is used at the metered location and storing the data in the database, associating the received data associated with a generating device with the data associated with time periods that the generating device is used at the metered location, processing the received data associated with a generating device with the data associated and the time periods that the generating device is used at the metered location to identify time periods that the generating device outputs electrical power to an electrical grid, and identifying a preferred time period that the generating device may be used to output power to the grid.
