First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for distributed power storage management, comprising:
- providing at least one power storage device connected to an electric power grid at distributed locations;
providing a controller system connected to the at least one power storage device, wherein the controller system comprises at least one server computer, located centrally or distributed over a network, in network communication with a monitoring device and a controllable device associated with the at least one power storage device;
the monitoring device tracking a real-time energy market price;
the at least one server computer automatically generating event instructions to the controllable device when the real-time energy market price is at least at a threshold at which point the power generated is directed to be released and sold to the electric power grid; and
the controllable device selectively automatically enabling electric power flow from the at least one power storage device to the electric power grid.

7. A system for distributed power storage management, comprising:
-
at least one power storage device located at predetermined, distributed locations; and a controller system associated with the at least one power storage device; wherein the controller system comprises at least one server computer in network communication with a monitoring device and at least one controllable device associated with the at least one power storage device; wherein a monitoring device is in real-time communication with an energy market; wherein at least one server computer is responsive to market price fluctuation, and operable for generating event instructions to the at least one controllable device when a market price is at least at a threshold at which point the electric power generated is automatically directed by the at least one server computer to be sold to the electric power grid; wherein the at least one controllable device is associated with at least one power storage device, wherein the at least one controllable device is remotely operable for automatically enabling and disabling electric power flow from the at least one power storage device to the electric power grid. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
