Managing devices within micro-grids
First Claim
1. A method for configuring micro-grids comprising:
- receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management (EM) system, wherein the EM system determines criticality of the power consuming device at a device level;
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 information and the power supply information,wherein;
the receiving the information and the power supply information are received using one of Simple Internet Protocol (SIP) communication messages and Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) messages,the information of the power consuming device includes identification that the power consuming device is a critical power consuming device and a corresponding critical power consuming device priority level or a non-critical power consuming device and a corresponding non-critical power consuming device priority level, andthe critical power consuming device is a device structured to provide one of heat, cooling, lighting, and pumping in a facility or a catastrophic event support.

Abstract
An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices based on characteristics of the power consuming devices and/or the power supply devices. The approach includes a method that includes receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management system that determines criticality of the power consuming device. The method further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid. The method further includes receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The method further includes determining that the power consuming device receives power from the power supply device, based on the information and the power supply information.
