REMOTE ENERGY MANAGEMENT USING PERSISTENT SMART GRID NETWORK CONTEXT
First Claim
1. A method performed by a device, the method comprising:
- setting, at the device, control policies including an energy consumption threshold associated with one or more smart grid devices of a smart grid network connected to a power grid associated with an external power source;
receiving, at the device, network content including energy consumption data associated with the one or more smart grid devices;
comparing, responsive to receiving the network content, the energy consumption data to the energy consumption threshold associated with the one or more smart grid devices;
triggering, responsive to results of the comparing indicating that the energy consumption threshold is exceeded, a first operation with respect to energy consumption associated with smart grid network; and
triggering, responsive to results of the comparing indicating that the energy consumption threshold is not exceeded, a second operation with respect to replenishment of unforced capacity associated with the smart grid network.

Abstract
A device may include a memory to store control policies set for a network of smart grid. devices connected to a power grid, the control policies including an energy consumption threshold associated with the network of smart grid devices; and a processor configured to obtain network content including energy consumption data associated with the network of smart grid devices, compare the energy consumption data to the energy consumption threshold associated with the network of smart grid devices, generate a first instruction with respect to energy consumption associated with network of smart grid devices, and generate a second instruction with respect to replenishment of unforced capacity associated with the network of smart grid devices.

17. A system comprising:
-
a storage device to store control policies, associated with a network of smart grid devices that connect to a power grid, including a curtailment threshold corresponding to curtailing a amount of power, received via the power grid, elated to a curtailment operation; and a first device configured to; receive, from a second device associated with the power grid, a curtailment request with respect to a portion of the amount of power received via the power grid, obtain, from a third device, a value representing an amount of unforced capacity associated with the network of smart grid devices, determine a curtailment capacity based on a comparison of the curtailment threshold to the value representing an amount of unforced capacity, perform a comparison of the curtailment capacity to the curtailment request, generate, based on results of the comparison, a notification to not perform the curtailment operation responsive to the curtailment request exceeding the curtailment capacity, and generate, based on results of the comparison, a notification to perform the curtailment operation responsive to the curtailment request not exceeding the curtailment capacity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
