Electricity management using modulated waveforms
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a filter configured to;
receive modulated electricity having at least two different alternating current frequencies over an electrical line, the at least two different alternating current frequencies including a first alternating current frequency and a second alternating current frequency, andattenuate the second alternating current frequency of the modulated electricity to obtain filtered modulated electricity that is predominantly of the first alternating current frequency; and
a meter configured to meter energy consumption at the first alternating current frequency separately from energy consumption at the second alternating current frequency.

Abstract
This document relates to electricity management using modulated waveforms. One example modulates electricity to obtain modulated electricity having at least two different alternating current frequencies including a first alternating current frequency and a second alternating current frequency. The example delivers the modulated electrical power having the at least two different alternating current frequencies to multiple different electrical devices, including a first electrical device configured to utilize the first alternating current frequency and a second electrical device configured to utilize the second alternating current frequency. The modulated electricity can be delivered at least partly over an electrical line shared by the first electrical device and the second electrical device.
